In the Chinese lunar calendar, a year with a leap month is called a leap month year. The lunar year is usually 12 months and 354 or 355 days, with only a few years having only 353 days (such as 1965). A leap year has 13 months, generally 384 days. Some individual years can be as long as 383 days, and very few years can be as long as 385 days (such as 2006). The lunar calendar is a type of lunisolar calendar. The number of days in each month is determined by the phases of the moon, and a year is based on 12 months. In order to close the cycle of the Earth's orbit around the sun, namely the tropical year, an additional month is added every 2 to 3 years. This added month is called a leap month, so a leap year in the lunar calendar has 13 months.
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.
Therefore, those born in the leap April of 2020 are considered to be a repetition of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, but they do not belong to April, but are an independent month.

The calculation of leap years and leap months in the lunar calendar is that there is one leap year every three years, two leap years every five years, and seven leap years every 19 years. The lunar calendar basically has a cycle of 19 years, which corresponds to the same time in the Gregorian calendar.
For example, May 27, 2001, May 27, 1982 and May 27, 1963 in the Gregorian calendar are all the fifth day of the fourth month in a leap year.
The month to which the leap month is added is determined according to the rules of the lunar calendar, mainly based on the correspondence with the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar.
The number of days in a leap month in the lunar calendar is the same as that in a normal month, which is 29 or 30 days.
The so-called "leap year" in the lunar calendar only refers to leap year and leap month, while the Gregorian calendar also has the term leap year.
