There are 365 days in a year. Why is the Year of the Pig only 354 days? There is no beginning of spring in the Year of the Pig. Does it affect crops?
In fact, this is very common. In the past 20 18 lunar year of the dog, it was also 354 days, starting from February 20 16 19. Although these two years are "ultra-short" because there is no leap month in these two years, in the next lunar year of 2020, it will be "ultra-long standby", with 384 days, one month more than the Year of the Pig. The reason is that there will be a leap April this year, so it will be 30 days longer than the Year of the Pig.
However, although the lunar calendar 20 19 has only 354 days, its solar year is still 365 days, and the cycle of the year has not changed. At present, the Gregorian calendar is used internationally, which is what we often call the solar calendar. In the past, it was common to use the lunar calendar in China, especially for farmers. However, in order to balance the deviation between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, a leap month calendar was established, and there is also a saying among the people that "there are seven leaps in nineteen years". That is to say, 19 lunar years, and there is a leap month in 7 years. The normal lunar calendar is 12 months, that is, a year is 354 days, such as lunar calendar 20 18 and lunar calendar 20 19. But a year with leap month is 13 months, which means there are 384 days in this year.
Next, let's answer the second question. What is the year of widowhood? In fact, "Widowhood Year" has nothing to do with "widow", and the folk saying that "Widowhood Year is not suitable for marriage" is even more nonsense. The ancients thought beginning of spring was very important. As the saying goes, "A year's plan lies in spring". Whether farmers can eat enough in a year depends on spring sowing. The ancients believed that spring was the season of revival of all things, and it was also the season of gestation of all things. If there is no beginning of spring in the Lunar New Year, it will be unlucky and the grain harvest will be affected. Such years are also called "black years", "sliding years" and "widowed years". However, this "widowed year" was later misinformed as "widowed year", thinking that without beginning of spring, not only the grain harvest would be affected, but also the fertility would be affected. Since it is impossible to have children, it is best not to get married, so there is a saying that "the year of widowhood is not suitable for marriage." Coincidentally, beginning of spring in 20 19 was on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month in 20 18, that is, there was no beginning of spring in 20 19, so according to the folk saying, 20 19 was a "widowed year".
It is not reliable for folks to say that the grain harvest in the widow's year is not good. Just like the phrase "Seven Leaps in Nineteen Years", beginning of spring has been useless for seven years in nineteen years, which shows its high frequency. According to the data over the years, there is not enough data to show that if there is no spring, the grain harvest will not be good. Besides, in any year, some places will have a bumper harvest and some places will have a poor harvest, so we can't generalize. In addition, there is a folk saying that "it is difficult to leap in September in seven years, but it is difficult to meet spring in a hundred years", which means that beginning of spring will have a good year on the 30th, so that the crops will be abundant. In fact, these statements are just the ancients' yearning for a better life. In any case, farmers also hope that 20 19 will be a bumper harvest year, and all farmers and friends in the world will have a bumper harvest.
As we all know, there are 365 or 366 days in a year, but in rural areas, we can always hear a saying that the Year of the Pig has only 354 days, and many people say that the Year of the Pig has no solar terms in beginning of spring. Why is there such a statement in rural areas? And does this situation affect crops? Let's have a look!
As you can see, it is the year of the pig, not 20 19. In other words, 354 days is the result of counting days according to the lunar calendar. There are two most commonly used algorithms in our country, one is the lunar calendar and the other is the solar calendar.
The lunar calendar is not a lunar calendar, but a combination of yin and yang. The algorithm divides the years into two types, the average year and the leap year. The difference between the two is that there are 12 months in a normal year, and there is one more month in a leap year because of leap months, which means there are 13 months. The number of days in these months is different from that in the solar calendar, only the big month and the small month are distinguished, with the big 30 days and the small 29 days.
This year is the year of the pig in Jihai, which is a normal year, that is, only 12 months, and in this 12 months, there are 6 big months and 6 small months respectively, which is a total of 354 days.
Beginning of spring, as the twenty-four solar terms, cannot disappear. The reason why there is no beginning of spring in the Year of the Pig is that beginning of spring is a solar term. Because the number of days in the solar calendar is different from that in the lunar calendar, there are no solar terms in beginning of spring in the lunar calendar. Therefore, the solar terms in beginning of spring still exist and naturally have no impact on crops.
It's the year of the pig. Some time ago, everyone has been discussing whether beginning of spring can post couplets that day. Now many people are wondering why the Year of the Pig is only 354 days. Let's talk about why the Year of the Pig has only 354 days, and whether the Year of the Pig without beginning of spring has any impact on crops.
The old farmer must emphasize here that the year of the pig is 354 days, only according to the lunar calendar, and there are still 365 days in a year according to the solar calendar. Many people just confuse the lunar calendar with the solar calendar, thinking that this year's solar calendar has only 354 days.
In fact, according to the solar calendar, the number of days per year is very stable. The normal situation is 365 days a year. Only when there is one more day in February of leap year will there be 366 days. As for the traditional lunar calendar, the number of days is different every year. For example, in 20 19, there are only 354 days, and in 2020, there will be as many as 384 days.
As long as you distinguish between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, you will know why there are only 354 days this year. As for the fact that there is no beginning of spring in the Year of the Pig, will it affect crops? There is no such thing.
It is very common to know that there are no spring years and double spring years now. It can be said that there may be a spring year in three years. This is just a coincidence that the lunar calendar time is different from the solar calendar time, and it will not affect the weather. Only if the weather is abnormal in the 24 solar terms can it affect crops.
For example, whether it is cold or not and whether it is hot or not in summer is an abnormal situation, which means that there will be abnormal weather later and the growth of crops will be affected.
Furthermore, from a scientific point of view, the change of seasons now does not mean that the weather will be abnormal, and everything should respect the weather forecast. It is also unreliable to say that the absence of beginning of spring in the Year of the Pig will affect the growth of crops.
In short, this year's Year of the Pig has 354 days in the lunar calendar and 365 days in the solar calendar. Just remember. As for whether crops have an impact, it is natural to respect the scientific statement.
First of all, I want to correct this question, which is inaccurate and misleading, indicating that the questioner is a layman and a layman to the lunar calendar.
There are many kinds of calendars used in the world, and the Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in the world now, evolved from the solar calendar. In our country, the traditional calendar is yin and yang calendars, and civil calendars are mostly used. The usual lunar calendar is actually a combination of yin and yang. The solar calendar is a calendar based on the laws of the sun. It takes 365 days, 5 hours, 58 minutes and 46 seconds for the earth to go around the sun once, that is, a tropical year. Because the number of days should be rounded off, according to the tradition of the sun, a year is set at 365 days, and the extra 5 hours, 58 minutes and 46 seconds are used in leap year method. Every four years is a leap year, and there are 366 days in the leap year of the solar calendar. It is stipulated that one more day should be put in February. Because the solar calendar in a normal year is February 28th, the leap year becomes 29 days. Usually the Gregorian calendar is the current Gregorian calendar. A year is 365 days and a leap year is 366 days. The so-called "Year of the Pig" is based on the zodiac signs of tree trunks and branches. The zodiac is changing everywhere. When you use the dry calendar, that is, when you use the dry calendar, the dry calendar has a set of rules and standards, and you can't mess it up. The chronology of cadres and branches begins not from the solar calendar, nor from the lunar calendar, but from the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is the first of the 24 solar terms, which are arranged according to the laws of the solar calendar. From one second in beginning of spring to the next in beginning of spring, the length of time is the cycle length of a tropical year, that is, 365 days, 5 hours, 58 minutes and 46 seconds. The exact number of each calendar year is this time, that is, the year of the pig has this time, not just 354 days. 354 days, or 355 days, which is the number of days in the twelve months of the lunar calendar. There are leap months in the lunar calendar, with thirteen months and 384 days. The leap day and non-leap day of the lunar year vary greatly, unlike the solar year, where there is only one day error. Lunar calendar is a calendar based on the law of the moon's profit and loss, with the calendar as the center, reflecting the law of the moon's operation. The moon 12: 44 needs 29 days to break even, and the days should be rounded off, so the lunar month is 30 days older and 29 days younger, and sometimes it is 7 months older, 1 year 12 months, 354 days or 355 days. In this way, the difference between lunar year and solar year is 1 1 day. The 24 solar terms are arranged according to the solar calendar. If there is no leap month in the lunar calendar, the difference between the two calendars is too far, so there should be 7 leap months in the lunar calendar 19. It is precisely because solar terms are not based on the lunar calendar, but on the solar calendar, and the zodiac is not always based on the lunar calendar, but on the solar terms, so the lunar calendar will leap to the moon, leading to the phenomenon of no spring or double spring when the solar terms are viewed from the lunar calendar. In fact, the exact time of the year is fixed at 5: 58: 46 every 365 days. What changes is the lunar calendar, either before or after, or neither or both. This is also a law, which is calculated artificially according to the difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, and is not necessarily related to the weather and climate. Therefore, the so-called spring-free year or double-spring year is a regular phenomenon artificially created in the calendar, which has no inevitable connection and influence with the weather and agricultural harvest. In the past, people used to make predictions based on this, which may not be accurate. Since the society has developed, we should not judge on this basis.
