What is a leap month? What is the origin of the leap month of June?
Introduction: Our country's traditional lunar calendar is one of the important timekeeping calendars, and the leap month is one of the special adjustment methods of this calendar. So what is a leap month of June? What is the origin of the leap month of June? Let’s follow the editor to learn more about it. The arrival of the sixth lunar month indicates that the scorching summer mode has begun. As for the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of more days in the sixth lunar month, follow the editor to learn more about it!What is a leap month?The month without the solar term is defined as a "leap month" in the calendar, also called "leap month". If the leap month comes after June, it is a leap June.Leap June is a common leap month (but not unchangeable. Over time, the frequency of leap June will gradually decrease from the highest level). It usually occurs once every 19 years (such as in 1960 and 1979), sometimes once every 38 years (such as in 1835 and 1873), and sometimes occurs once every 19 years but less than 38 years (such as in 1987 and 2017, 30 years apart, and 2810 and 2837, 27 years apart). The shortest interval is once every 8 years (such as in 2017 and 2025) or 11 years (such as in 2025 and 2036). Its frequency of occurrence is second only to the leap May. Some years with a leap June are the latest years for the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Ghost Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. The origin of the leap month of June:In order to keep the lunar calendar synchronized with the tropical year of the Gregorian calendar (solar calendar), the ancients adopted the method of setting leap months.There are 24 solar terms in the ancient calendar, which are divided into solar terms and Zhongqi. There are two solar terms in each lunar month. The beginning of the month is called the solar term, and the middle of the month is called the middle term. "For example, the Beginning of Spring is the solar term of the first month, and Rain Water is the middle term of the first month." The average length of the two solar terms in the Gregorian calendar is 30.5 days, while each month in the lunar calendar is only 29.5 days, a difference of 1 day. Therefore, the solar term of each month will be 1-2 days later than the previous month. If this continues, there will always be a month with only solar terms but no central solar terms. During the year, the distance between the earth and the sun sometimes gets closer and sometimes gets farther. When the Earth is far away from the Sun, which is around June in the Gregorian calendar, its movement is slow, so the interval between two solar terms is long, and the longest can exceed 31 days. Based on the previous average length of 30.5 days, there is a high possibility that there will be no solar term in the month, and the possibility of a leap month is also high. Therefore, there are more chances of leap April, leap May and leap June. Around December of the Gregorian calendar, the earth moves fast and the intervals between solar terms are short, with the shortest being just over 29 days, which is shorter than a lunar month. Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be no solar terms in the first, eleventh and twelfth months of the lunar calendar. Relatively speaking, leap months occur less frequently. Summary: Through the above article, we know the analysis about the leap month of June. I hope that everyone will have a certain understanding of leap months and leap June. I hope you will like it! |
