There will be no Chinese New Year's Eve for 5 consecutive years from next year!
On the morning of January 10, this entry rushed to the hot search.
It is reported that the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Lunar Dragon Year is February 9, 2024, which is "the last Chinese New Year's Eve in recent years".
Because from 2025 to 2029, the Chinese New Year's Eve for five consecutive years will be "the twenty-ninth of the big year".
These dates are: January 28, 2025, February 16, 2026, February 5, 2027, January 25, 2028, and 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, which calculates the number of days in a month based on the changes in the phases of the moon, is known in astronomy as the "synodic cycle".
The day of "Shuo" is the first day of the new year, and people cannot see the moon at all on this day.
The day of "hope" is the fifteenth day, 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" can be long and short.
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. 2013, 2016, 2022 and 5 consecutive years from 2025 to 2029 have not had Chinese New Year's Eve. However, since the average length of the synodic months is more than 29 days, the major months occur slightly more often each year than the minor months.
Although the Chinese New Year's Eve will "disappear" on the 30th of the lunar month, whether it is the 29th or 30th of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, which is a traditional festival, has always been there.
After learning about this, netizens said: Interesting knowledge has increased again.
Finally, one more magical thing:
2262 New Year.
So, there are two Chinese New Year in 2262.
