What does fortune telling mean on New Year's Eve?

What is New Year's Eve? Why is New Year's Eve 29 this year? Not 30.

The origin of Lunar New Year's Eve "Lunar New Year's Eve" is the last day of the twelfth lunar month. In the old society, it was also called "except for the sun", "except for the night", "except for the year", "the end of the year" and "the end of the year". Many people called it "New Year's Eve" or "New Year's Eve".

In our country, people generally attach importance to the next day, which is called "Year-end". In the old days, businessmen regarded Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve as the three major festivals in a year, and each festival had to be accounted for, with New Year's Eve as the most important. They should sort out the current accounts of the year, verify the profits and losses, and plan for the coming year.

New Year's Eve 29? 30?

According to reports, the lunar calendar is based on the laws of the moon. When the sun, the moon and the earth are connected in a line and the moon is in the middle, it is the first day of each month in the lunar calendar, also called the "new moon". The number of days between two new moons is the length of 1 month in the lunar calendar, which is called a "new moon". The longest is about 29 days 19 hours, and the shortest is about 29 days and 6 hours.

For convenience, the lunar calendar is divided into big month and small month, with 30 days for big month and 29 days for small month in the calendar. The arrangement of big and small months is not fixed. Because the average month length is slightly more than 29 days, and the number of large months is slightly more than that of small months every year, naturally there are more lunar years with "30 years" than those without "30 years".

Because these two festivals are 29-day abortion days, the Year of the Loong in Renshen (e.g. 1992) and year of the snake in Qiuci (e.g., 20 13) don't have a "30th anniversary" the day before the Spring Festival, so they go directly to "the first day of the first month" from the 29th anniversary. Because they all coincide with the 30-day-old moon, there is no "absence" 30 days before the Spring Festival in the Year of the Horse (such as 20 14) and the Year of the Sheep (such as 20 15).

According to the astronomical almanac, in the next 20 years, that is, by 2035, there will be 1 1 thirty years on the day before the Lunar New Year in China. Looking through the perpetual calendar, the reporter found that from 2025 to 2029, there will be no "Year 30" for five consecutive years.

According to the survey, the earliest Spring Festival in the solar calendar in recent decades is 1 9665438+10/0/2 1, and the latest Spring Festival is120/985, with a total difference of1month. Why is this? It is understood that the lunar year is generally 1 February,1month, 29 days or 30 days; Therefore, the average lunar year in China should be 353 days or 354 days, about 1 1 day less than the Gregorian calendar, and about 1 month less than the Gregorian calendar for three years.

In this way, the Spring Festival will be earlier and earlier, and the leap month will appear. If there is no leap month, there will be a spectacle of "Spring Festival in summer".
