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 Yingshao's Customs and Meanings states that "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 means hunting animals to sacrifice to ancestors." Or it is said that "La means connection, the connection between the old and the new, so a grand sacrifice is held to report the merits." Whether it is offering animals to ancestors after hunting, or offering sacrifices to gods at the turn of the old and the new, sacrificial activities are still required, so the twelfth lunar month is a month for sacrifices. How many days are there in the twelfth lunar month?The number of days in the twelfth lunar month is not fixed. If it is a long month, it has 30 days, and if it is a short month, it has 29 days. The twelfth month of 2019 is a long month, so it has 30 days.In the calculation of traditional Chinese lunar calendar, both the sun and the moon must be taken into account. A month in the lunar calendar is determined by the length of the period from one lunar "new moon" (astronomically, the moment when the moon and the earth's ecliptic plane are the same) to the next "new moon", which is actually the time it takes for the moon to orbit the earth. The average value is twenty-nine days, twelve hours and forty-four minutes. Because the relative motion between the sun, the earth and the moon is not constant, this cycle can be long or short, with a long month of thirty days and a short month of twenty-nine days. In order to ensure that the first day of each lunar month is the new moon day, the arrangement of long and short months is not fixed and needs to be determined through observation and calculation. |
