Which month is the double leap month in 2023? Is it a leap year?
The leap month of the lunar calendar in 2023 is February, which is the leap second month, but this year is not a leap year, but a normal year.There are only 365 days in a year, and there is no leap day.Because there is no relationship between leap year and leap month, leap year is the noun of the Gregorian calendar year, and leap month is the noun of the lunar year.
What does the leap month mean
The leap month is a way of setting the leap month in the calendar.In Asia (especially in China), a leap month refers specifically to a month added to the lunar calendar every 2 to 3 years.In order to coordinate the contradiction between the return year and the lunar year, and prevent the lunar year and the return year from being out of touch with the four seasons, an intercalary is set every 2 to 3 years.In ancient times, the intercalary week with 7 intercalary years was adopted in 19 years, and the fixed intercalary week was abolished in the "Linde Calendar" of the Tang Dynasty, and the intercalary month was used to set the intercalary week, so it was the intercalary time.A tropical year is divided into twenty-four solar terms.If the twenty-four solar terms are arranged from the beginning of spring to the great cold, then the odd-numbered solar term is called the solar term, and the even-numbered one is called the Zhongqi.The lunar calendar uses twelve Zhongqi to represent the twelve months of a year, and the average interval between Zhongqi and Zhongqi is nearly one day longer than a lunar lunar lunar month.If things go on like this, there will always be the phenomenon that the Zhongqi is at the end of the month, then there will be no Zhongqi and only the solar term in the next month (that is, the next Zhongqi will be at the beginning of the second lunar month).Therefore, this lunar month without qi is called the leap month of the previous month.
Introduction to the year in 2023
The year 2023 is the Gregorian calendar year, with a total of 365 days and 52 weeks.The lunar calendar is the year of the Guimao (the Year of the Rabbit), with the leap second month, a total of 384 days.Because of the leap month in this year, there are two beginning springs in one year of the lunar calendar.It is called the Double Spring Year.Leap years are established to make up for the time difference between the number of days in a year and the actual revolution cycle of the earth caused by human calendar regulations.The year in which the time difference is added is a leap year.A leap year has a total of 366 days (January to December are 31 days, 29 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days).Note that leap years (nouns in the Gregorian calendar) and leap months (nouns in the lunar calendar) are not directly related.The Gregorian calendar is only divided into leap years and ordinary years, with 365 days in ordinary years and 366 days in leap years (one extra day in February); There are leap months (for example, 2017 is a normal year, and the lunar calendar has leap months and leap June).
