Introduction: Leap April is a special month. So is leap April 2020 a disaster year? Will the Dragon Boat Festival in 2020 be in leap April? Time always presents people with a unique flavor inadvertently, and the leap April also has its own uniqueness that makes people unforgettable. The leap April of 2020 has a different flavor. Let’s wander and explore the ocean of leap April of 2020 on Shuimoxiansheng.com!Is the leap April in 2020 a disaster year?——About the definition of leap April:There is no thirteenth month in the lunar calendar. According to the calendar rules, the leap month is arranged after February to October and repeats the same month. The repeated month is called a leap month. For example, the leap month after April is called a leap April. Around the 21st century, leap April is a common leap month, usually occurring once every 8 or 11 years, and once every 38 years at most. Its frequency is second only to leap May. However, the rules are not static, and the frequency of leap Aprils is gradually decreasing as time goes by. Therefore, it can be seen that the leap April in 2020 is not a disaster year. The leap April is just a problem of month sorting and is one of the normal ways of recording time. Is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2020 in leap April?The Dragon Boat Festival in 2020 is on Thursday, June 25, 2020 [the fifth day of the fifth month of the Gengzi Year (Year of the Rat)].2020 leap April dates : 1st day of leap April (May 23rd) and 29th day of leap April (June 20th) Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival in 2020 is not in the leap month of April! ——The reason for the leap monthLeap month refers to a phenomenon in the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar arranges long and short months according to the waxing and waning of the moon, i.e. the synodic month. The length of a synodic month is 29.5306 days.It is the cycle of the moon's waxing and waning phases. The lunar calendar stipulates that a long month is 30 days and a short month is 29 days, so there are 354.672 days in 12 months in a year. The months in the lunar calendar have no seasonal significance, so the twelve synodic months constitute the Chinese calendar year, with a length of 29.5306×12=354.3672 days, which is 10.88 days (nearly 11 days) less than the tropical year of 365.2422 days, and each month has 0.91 days (nearly 1 day) less. The difference between a lunar year and a solar year is 10.875 days. After only 17 years, the dates of the lunar and solar calendars will be reversed in the same season. For example, one year the New Year was spent in the heavy snow, but 17 years later, people began to celebrate the New Year with fans. Using such a calendar naturally cannot meet the needs of agricultural production. Therefore, my country's lunar calendar has been used in parallel with the 24 solar terms since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the 24 solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. If the lunar year is composed of thirteen synodic months, its length will be 29.5306×13=383.8978 days, which is 18 days longer than the tropical year. If the calendar is formulated according to the above regulations, there will be strange phenomena such as the weather being inconsistent with the calendar and the time sequence being disordered and reversed. That's the contradiction. In order to overcome this shortcoming, our ancestors found the method of "leap month" based on astronomical observations, ensuring that the first month to the third month of the lunar year is spring, April to June is summer, July to September is autumn, and October to December is winter. At the same time, it also ensured that the beginning of the lunar year is in late winter and early spring (all the above refer to the lunar months).
