It is unscientific to get together as soon as you get married in the year of widowhood, and it is superstitious to get married in the year of dog.
(Reporter Feng Meng) Rizhao people say "get together", which means "go to the market". On February 16, the newlyweds in our city really competed in the "market"-gongs, drums, firecrackers and colorful wedding dresses, which filled the streets at once.
At about 8 am that day, the owner of Rizhao Road Wedding Etiquette Center told reporters.
Since 4 am, they have decorated more than 30 wedding cars, and there are more than 10 cars waiting in line. He revealed that a new person came to make an appointment just after the holiday this year, and now it has been booked in June.
It is understood that dogs represent loyalty, and this year's Lunar New Year is another year of "double spring". With the low tide of last year's "Widowed Year", the low tide of this year's marriage has appeared in advance, and the business of many wedding companies in our city has nearly tripled compared with the same period last year.
In this regard, Xin Chongfa, a well-known folklore expert in our city and director of donggang city Cultural Bureau, told the reporter that the Year of the Monkey ended in the beginning of spring, which made the Year of the Rooster "no spring". There is a popular saying that a year without "spring" is a year of widowhood, which made some people postpone their wedding. This year's "Double beginning of spring" and leap July make this "Year of the Dog" a very special year. From 22 1 year BC to 2 100 BC, there are only 12 leap years, with 385 days. Therefore, this once-in-a-thousand-year special year is quite attractive to young people; In addition, dogs symbolize loyalty, and people often choose to get married in the Year of the Dog.
He also explained that this year's Spring Festival is earlier, and next year's Spring Festival is later, so the upcoming annual dog festival will have a phenomenon of "two springs a year" in our traditional calendar, that is, beginning of spring on the seventh day of the first month of the third month (February 4, 2006) and beginning of spring again on the seventeenth day of the twelfth month of the same year (February 4, 2007). This phenomenon will occur every few years, the last time it appeared five years ago, and the next time it will wait three years later. This is due to the parallel system of lunar calendar and solar calendar in China, which is a normal calendar evolution, but it often causes a lot of discussion among the people, and some people even associate it with good luck and auspiciousness. Whether there is a beginning of spring or not is just a mistake between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, which cannot affect the cycle of seasons and personal life. He suggested that citizens should cherish folk culture and make a healthy and positive interpretation of it.
It is understood that due to various reasons, hotels, restaurants, wedding photography, jewelry, home furniture and other industries in our city have been waving flags for the "wedding fever" in the Year of the Dog in various ways since last year, but experts believe that getting married together is easy to cause artificial tension in the wedding supplies market and even reduce the quality of weddings.
In this regard, Wu Xia, director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Municipal Hospital, reminded the public that "getting together" marriage will have certain negative effects, such as a baby boom in a certain period of time, and children born during this period will face more competition for admission and employment in the future.
Leap, the original meaning is remainder. Refers to the difference between the calendar year and the earth's orbit around the sun, and the excess is called "leap"
A leap year refers to a year in which there is a leap day (February 29th) in the solar calendar or a leap month (thirteen months in a year) in the lunar calendar. Leap surplus (leap surplus). Time difference between the lunar calendar and the tropic year)
On leap days, the average year of the solar calendar is only 365 days, which is 5: 48: 46 compared with the tropic year. So every four years, it accumulates into 1 day, and it will become the 29th in February. This day is called leap day and this year is called leap year.
In leap months, the lunar calendar is based on the moon's orbit around the earth. Every year, there is a difference of about 10/between 5: 48: 46 and 10 on the 365th of the tropic of Capricorn, so we have to leap for one month every three years, two months every five years and seven months every nineteen years. In this way, every additional month in a leap year is called a leap month. Leap month is added after a certain month. It's called leap moon.
Leap month and leap year
In order to adjust the average length of calendar year to match the length of tropical year, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the length of individual months or increase the number of months in a year. This adjusted month or added month is called "leap month".
The leap month calendar was first invented and used in China. It started around 500 BC, which was 160 years earlier than ancient Greece. The calendar of our country adopts the method of seven leap months in nineteen years, which is different in different periods and countries.
In the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, when the length of the first lunar month (29.5306) is the average of 1 month, that is, 12 months in a year and the length of the tropical year (365.2422) is about 10 and 2 1 day, it is necessary to set a leap. In the six-year calendar in ancient China, the leap month method was adopted, with three years 1 month, five years and two months, and 19 years and seven months. Every month in a leap year is called "leap month". The leap month is placed at the end of the year. For example, the seal script used in the early years of the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty started in October and ended in September. Leap month is placed after September, which is called "post-September". When the taichu calendar Law was enacted in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, leap months were inserted in every month of the year, and it was stipulated that lifeless months were regarded as leap months, and the month sequence was still the month sequence of last month, so long as it was called "leap months". This leap rule is the most reasonable in a smooth calendar. In the Qing dynasty, the constitution continued, and it was changed into a fixed-atmosphere calendar. If we continue to simply follow the rule that there is no central leap, it is possible to set up two leap months a year. Therefore, the leap year is defined as 13 months between two winter solstices, and the first month of a leap year is defined as leap month. This rule has been in use ever since. In leap years, April, May and June are the most frequent, and September, 1 October are the least. 1 1 month,1February,1month will not appear, at least for several thousand years.
In the Gregorian calendar, leap month is not a year plus a month, but a month plus a day to ensure that the Gregorian calendar year is consistent with the tropic year. For example, julian calendar and the current Gregorian calendar generally have 365 days a year. Usually every four years (the current Gregorian calendar is sometimes eight years apart), one day is added in February, and this year it is 366 days. February this year is a leap month, and this year is also called a leap year.
