Many people know about "La Yue", but they don't know which month it is. So which month is the La Yue in the lunar calendar? Is the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar? The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is commonly known as "La Yue" among the people. If you want to know more about the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018, please visit Mr. Shui Mo’s website!Which month is the twelfth month of the lunar calendar?The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is from January 5th to February 4th in the new calendar.The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also known as the twelfth month or the wax month. There are many traditional folk activities during the twelfth lunar month. This title has little to do with the natural seasons, but is mainly related to the annual sacrifices. The so-called "La" was originally the name of the sacrifice at the end of the year. Han Ying Shao's "Customs and Meanings" said, "In the Xia Dynasty, it was called Jiaping; in the Yin Dynasty, it was called Qingsi; in the Zhou Dynasty, it was called Da La; and in the Han Dynasty, it was changed to La. La means hunting, which refers to hunting animals to sacrifice to the ancestors." Or it is said, "La means connection, the connection between the new and the old, so a big sacrifice is held to reward the merits." Whether it is offering animals to ancestors after hunting, or worshiping gods at the turn of the old and the new, sacrificial activities are still required, so the twelfth lunar month is a month for sacrifice. Is the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar?The lunar calendar is based on the cycle of the moon's phases (i.e. the synodic month). Because the ancients called the moon Taiyin, it is also called the lunar calendar, which is a pure lunar calendar. Our country uses the "Lunar calendar", which most people call the "lunar calendar", which is incorrect. The lunar calendar is not a pure lunar calendar, but a "lunar calendar".The lunar calendar is a combination of the lunar and solar calendars, also known as the Xia calendar. The lunar calendar is based on the new and full moons . The duration of the synodic month is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds (that is, 29.5366 days), so the lunar calendar also has a long month of 30 days and a short month of 29 days. However, it is not exactly the same as the pure lunar calendar, because the pure lunar calendar is arranged with alternating long and short months, while the long and short months in the lunar calendar are determined by calculation. The lunar calendar uses the time of the new and full moon as the average time of the calendar month. In this respect it is the same as the pure lunar calendar, but the lunar calendar uses the method of setting leap months and the twenty-four solar terms to make the average length of the calendar year equal to the tropical year. In this way, it has the elements of the solar calendar, so it is better than the pure lunar calendar. It is said that all the current lunar calendars were used by our ancestors as early as the Xia Dynasty (before the 17th century BC). So people also call it the Xia calendar. After liberation, it was still called the Xia calendar. After 1970, my country changed its name to the "Lunar calendar". As for the origin of the name "Lunar Calendar", it is probably because China has been an agricultural country since ancient times, so the calendar must serve agriculture. |
