How do people born on February 29th celebrate their birthdays?

Birthdays are celebrated every four years.

People born on February 29th are less likely to celebrate their birthdays than those born in other months, because February 29th is an extra day in the leap year of the Gregorian calendar, while February in normal years has an average of 28 days. In this case, people born on February 29th of leap year will not have Gregorian birthdays in normal years.

Then it is suggested that people born on this day should celebrate their 29th birthday in leap year and their lunar birthday in normal year, so that they will not be lonely.

The ancients set up a leap month according to the twenty-four solar terms.

Among the 24 solar terms, the odd number is called the solar term, and the even number is called the neutral term. Whenever the lunar month is not neutral, it is set as leap month, and the month is not neutral, which mostly occurs in April and May. Therefore, in leap years, April and May are the most, September and October are less, and November, December and January are the least. In this case, people born in leap months have to wait a long time for their last birthday.
