Is there a leap month in 2022?
Lunar leap month is a calendar leap mode invented by China in ancient times. With the leap month, the lunar calendar will be in line with the solar calendar. The current method of setting leap in lunar calendar is "19 years and seven leap years", that is, every two to three years, a lunar month that is the same as the previous month is added, and the added month is called leap month.
The lunar year is only 354.4 days according to 12 lunar month, which is 10.9 days less than the solar calendar. This will add 33 days every three years, that is, one month. In order to coordinate the seasonal relationship between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, one month will be added every three years, which is the leap month of the lunar calendar. A year with a leap month is called a leap year, so the leap year in the lunar calendar has 13 months.
Deciding which month is a leap month depends on 24 solar terms. Every month of the lunar calendar usually includes a solar term and a neutral gas, with the solar term at the beginning of the month and the neutral gas after the middle of the month. If a lunar month has only solar terms and no neutral atmosphere, it is regarded as a leap month of last month.
For example, in 2020, the Year of the Rat of the Gengzi in the lunar calendar will leap in April, and there will only be a solar term of "Mangzhong" on the 14th day of the lunar calendar, while the "Summer Solstice Day" of Zhongqi will fall on the first day of May, so there will be a leap in April in 2020.
