Is 20 18 the year of widowhood? What does this mean?

Today, I found an interesting word-Widowhood Year, so I went to Baidu to study science. I also saw many problems. Many friends are asking whether 20 18 is a widow's year, and then 20 18 is a widow's year. What is the significance of the year of widowhood? Now let me introduce you.

Is 20 18 the year of widowhood?

20 18 is a widowed year.

The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month (Gregorian calendar: 2065438+February 4th, 2008) is beginning of spring, which means that the alternation of the four seasons has been completed, which means that starting from this day is the beginning of a new year. But the calendar we usually calculate the time is the lunar calendar, which means that according to our custom, the arrival of the New Year is after New Year's Eve 12 o'clock on the 20th18 (Gregorian calendar: February 20 19) of the lunar calendar. Therefore, in traditional folk culture, the year without "beginning of spring" is called "widowed year", while in central and southern areas, "widowed year" is called "blind year", with the same meaning and different names. Note: the theory of widow's year has no scientific basis, so don't pay too much attention to it.

What does widow's year mean?

A year in which there is no solar term "beginning of spring" among the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar1February is called widowed year. Explain in local dialect, that is to say, the solar term "beginning of spring" is before the first day of the first month of this year and after New Year's Eve. For example, 20 16 is a widow's year without beginning of spring in the lunar calendar, and 2065438+26 in the twelfth month of 2005 is beginning of spring, so 20 16 is commonly known as the widow's year. Widowed years, the so-called "dumb years", also known as "blind spring" and "widowed years", mean that there is no "beginning of spring" in the whole year of the lunar calendar, and beginning of spring appears at the end of the twelfth month of the previous year and the beginning of the first month of the second year, such as 2002, 2005, 2008, 20 10, and there is no "beginning of spring" in a year. Without yang, you are lonely and yin, and you are not born. In people, there is no yang, that is, there is no male match, and naturally it is a widow. The so-called "widow's year" came from this.
