20 16 leap month? What month is it now?

Lunar calendar 20 16 is not a leap month year.

In the lunar calendar of China, there are two versions: leap year and leap month. Usually, we say that there are 365 days in a year, but in fact, there are 365.2422 days in a year, which is 0.2422 days different from the actual situation. Four years later, these differences just constitute one day, which means that there are 366 days in the fourth year after four years, so the ancients stipulated this year as a leap year. Leap month is because every leap year has an extra day. When the extra month is accumulated, this year has 13 months, so we call this year leap month year.

To sum up, leap year is a phenomenon in the solar calendar. It is fixed in February, which is 29 days longer than the normal year. Leaping moon is a phenomenon in the lunar calendar. This is a leap month. In that year, the lunar calendar had 13 months, and that year was called leap month year. Leap Moon is 384 years old.
