(Author/Mei Muxin)
The plum red willow color of the New Year's banquet is new, but there is no spring in the Jiachen calendar.
In the past, the sages put the intercalary wood to make a fire, and today they climb the snow to make dust.
The period of peace of all things depends on creation, and the four long auspicious spirits.
The mud swallow is broken in the east wind, and the water is fragrant and intoxicating.
①2024-2-4,立春日抒怀有寄；上平十一真韵。

Trivia: Jiachen Lichun
2024年的立春节气虽然是公历2024年的2月4日，但在农历上却是农历2023年的十二月二十五交节，而2025年的立春节气是在农历的正月初六，因此，从农历上看，2024年自正月初一到2025正月初一这一年时间里是没有立春节气的。
历法虽然是以二十四节气的立春到大寒为一整年的，但通常我们所说的一年，是自农历的正月初一，到十二月三十为一整年，因此，农历2024年没有立春节气，人们把没有立春节气的年份称做“无春年”，即“甲辰无春”。
There are also many folk comments on the "no spring year", most of which associate "spring" and "yang", such as no spring is no yang and so on. For example, the "no spring year" is not suitable for marriage, it is not suitable to build a house, etc., it is said that the "no spring year" is not enough yang, and the folk also call the "no spring year" as the "blind year" and "widow's year".
The old saying "no spring year, no dog days" is also a saying about "no spring year", which means that the year of the dragon meets a year without the beginning of spring, and there may be rainy weather during the "dog days".
The ancients believed that the year of Jiachen was the year of the dragon, which was a symbol of good luck, after all, the ancients believed that the dragon was the god of rain, and the dragon traveled the world to be the year of good weather and rain. There is also a saying among the people that "the second dragon raises its head in February". However, because there is no spring in Jiachen, it is equivalent to saying that there is no season, which will lead to an imbalance between yin and yang, which will cause uneven precipitation.
As the saying goes, "the summer solstice is in ambush", that is, the third Geng day after the summer solstice solar term is the beginning of the dog days, about 30 days or 40 days to end. The reason why the calendar stipulates that the dog days are the third Geng day after the summer solstice is because the ancients understood the five elements of Shengke, summer belongs to fire, Geng belongs to gold, fire is gold, and gold should be hidden. Therefore, "Jiachen has no spring year, and the dog days do not see the sky" has a certain relationship with the five elements.
The ancients believed that spring belongs to wood, summer belongs to fire, and wood makes fire, and fire can flourish. "No spring year" without the beginning of spring, there is less power of wood, in the summer the fire will not be too strong, to the "dog days" rainy time period, there will be less yang, there may be a long time without the sun, rainy weather.
In fact, it is normal for there to be no spring year, which is due to the fact that the two lunar calendars have different calculation methods, and the lunar calendar needs to be "intercalated". In the lunar year, out of every 19 years, there are 7 years without the beginning of spring, 7 years are double spring, and 5 years are single spring. This shows that the "no spring year" and "double spring year" are the same as the year of single spring, and there is a spring solar term every year, which is caused by the "intercalation" of the lunar calendar, which is a human algorithm and not a natural phenomenon.
The beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, which is classified as the first solar term in the official almanac of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the arrival time is on February 3-5 of the Gregorian calendar every year (around the first day of the first lunar month), when the sun reaches the ecliptic longitude of 315°.
Lichun is one of the important traditional festivals of the Han people. "Li" means "beginning", and since the Qin Dynasty, China has used the beginning of spring as the beginning of spring. The beginning of spring is astronomically divided, spring is warm, birds sing and flowers are fragrant, spring is growth, cultivation and sowing. The period from the day of the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer is called spring.
The so-called "plan of the year lies in spring", since ancient times, the beginning of spring is a major festival, called the Spring Festival (renamed after the Republic of China). China attaches great importance to it from the official to the non-governmental level, and it has a history of more than 3,000 years on the day of the beginning of spring. At the beginning of spring, the Son of Heaven personally led the three princes and nine kings and princes to the eastern suburbs to welcome the spring and pray for a good harvest. After returning, he will also reward his ministers, and Bude will order to benefit the people. This kind of activity affected the common people, making it a national spring festival for generations to come.
