There will be no Chinese New Year's Eve for 5 consecutive years from next year!
This morning, the entry rushed to the hot search.
It is reported that
The Chinese New Year's Eve of the Lunar Year of the Dragon is February 9, 2024,
This is "the last Chinese New Year's Eve in recent years".
Because from 2025 until 2029,
Chinese New Year's Eve for five consecutive years,
It's all "the twenty-ninth of the big year".
These days are:
January 28, 2025, February 16, 2026,
February 5, 2027, January 25, 2028,
February 12, 2029.
Why does the Chinese New Year's Eve come and go?
It turned out that this was all the moon's "fault".
The Chinese lunar calendar calculates the number of days in a month based on the changes in the phases of the moon, which is known as the "synodic cycle" in astronomy. The day of "Shuo" is the first day of the new month, which is the time when people cannot see the moon at all, and the day of "Wang" is the fifteenth, which is the time of the full moon. Since the relative motion between the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun is not static, the "synodic cycle" has long and short cycles. The average length of a synodic month is 29.53 days, which is not a whole number, and the number of days in a month is expressed as an integer, so sometimes it is 29 days in a minor month, sometimes 30 days in a major month. In order to ensure that the first day of the lunar month must be a new month, the arrangement of the large and small months is not fixed, which needs to be determined through observation and scientific calculation. It is not uncommon for the wax moon to coincide with a small moon, which occurs in about three to five years, and sometimes even several years in a row. The next Spring Festival without the Chinese New Year's Eve is 2025, and from 2025 to 2029, there will be no Chinese New Year's Eve for 5 consecutive years.
