(1) People born in the leap April: They can celebrate their real birthdays
(2) People born in the fourth month of the lunar calendar: can celebrate two birthdays
——Birthdays of people born in leap months:

People born in a leap month in the lunar calendar rarely have their own birthday, as it will not count until the next leap month.
People usually celebrate their birthdays in the same month as the leap month. For example, if someone was born in a leap August, they would consider August as their birthday.
If you celebrate your birthday in a leap month and it is a ten-day birthday, you should celebrate it one month in advance. It will not be a problem if it is a smaller birthday.
(3) Many people now celebrate their birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar, so there is no longer a saying that people born in a leap month have two birthdays, or that it is rare for people born in a leap month to have a birthday.
——Many young people today mainly celebrate their birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar, and no longer celebrate their birthdays according to the lunar calendar. Therefore, the embarrassment of having to wait for decades to celebrate a birthday is becoming less and less common.
——Only the older generation still keeps the habit of celebrating their birthdays according to the lunar calendar.
——However, if you really encounter a situation where you need to wait for decades or even hundreds of years, you will probably have to slowly get used to celebrating your birthday according to the Gregorian calendar.

Do you celebrate your birthday according to the Gregorian or lunar calendar?

】In the past, birthdays were generally celebrated using the lunar calendar.
】After the reform and opening up, the younger generation often uses the Gregorian calendar to celebrate their birthdays.

——So in this sense, almost everyone can have two days every year to celebrate his birthday, one according to the lunar calendar and one according to the Gregorian calendar.
- Do not celebrate your birthday according to the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar. Do not celebrate your birthday according to the Gregorian calendar this year and the lunar calendar next year. Also, you cannot celebrate your birthday twice a year, that is, celebrating both your Gregorian birthday and your lunar birthday, as this would mean you would get two birthday presents a year.
】The traditional meaning of birthday: birthday, based on the lunar calendar <br /> In traditional Chinese culture, birthday is the so-called birth date, which includes four parts: year, month, day and time;
Each part is expressed using the Ganzhi system, so each part has two characters, which are called birth characters.
The meaning and use of the eight characters of birth in ancient times were even greater. One could even know your fortune, good or bad luck, in your life from the eight characters. There were mysteries and secrets.
Therefore, the lunar birthday is more in line with our Chinese customs.
For thousands of years, Chinese people have celebrated their birthdays according to the lunar calendar.
There is no absolute rule about whether to celebrate birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar. Generally, people celebrate birthdays according to their family habits and preferences.
