What does a leap June in 2017 mean? How often does a leap June occur?
|
June 24, 2017 marks the sixth lunar month of the Year of the Rooster, which is the leap June of 2017. Interestingly, the sixth lunar month of the Year of the Rooster is somewhat special because this year not only has a "first month of June" but also a "leap month of June". From June 24th to August 21st in the Gregorian calendar, the time of two "sixth months" in the lunar calendar adds up to a total of 59 days. Shi Zhicheng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society, said that China's lunar calendar stipulates that a long month has 30 days, a short month has 29 days, and a year has 12 months, totaling 354 or 355 days, which is about 11 days less than the number of days in a tropical year. In three years, one month is missing. Over time, strange phenomena such as disorder of time and weather will occur. In order to solve this problem, the method of adding a "leap month" was adopted. Leap June refers to a month in which the ancients used the method of setting a leap month to keep the lunar calendar synchronized with the tropical year of the Gregorian calendar (solar calendar). The 24 solar terms are divided into solar terms and solar terms. The month without the solar term is defined as a "leap month" in the calendar, called "leap month". The current method of adding leap months to the lunar calendar is "seven leap months in nineteen years". One month must be added every two to three years, and the added month is called a leap month. Therefore, the leap year of the lunar calendar has 13 months. Because of a "leap June", the lunar year of the Rooster has 384 days. "With an extra June, does that mean I can have an extra lunar birthday?" This makes many people born in the sixth lunar month look forward to it. In this regard, Shi Zhicheng said that generally speaking, there are two options for a person's birthday date, one is based on the lunar calendar, and the other is based on the solar calendar, and you can choose either one. However, from the perspective of folklore and sociology, if the lunar calendar is used to commemorate birthdays, if it happens to be a leap month, it is not a bad idea to celebrate the lunar birthday twice. It is also a good thing to find an opportunity to get together with family and friends. Will an extra sixth lunar month extend the summer or make it hotter? This has caused some people to worry. In this regard, astronomical experts have made it clear that the leap month is a clever arrangement in the lunar calendar and has nothing to do with the climate. The astronomical calendar shows that the next lunar year with a leap month will be in 2020, the Year of the Rat, which will be a "leap April". If you want to have a "leap June" again, you will have to wait until 2025, the Year of the Snake. |
