Is there any truth to the saying seven years are rare to meet the leap in September, and a hundred

As the old saying goes, "Seven years are rare to meet a leap in September, and in rural areas, the old saying is generally like this: "It is rare to meet a leap September in a lifetime, and it is rare to meet a spring in a hundred years". If we look up from the calendar, these two situations are indeed rare. Year when leap September ever appeared:

1737, 1756, 1832, 2014, 2109, 2204. It can be seen that only 2014 has a leap September in this century. The last time was in 1992, and the next one is February 4, 2038.

We all know that although the beginning of spring occurs during the Spring Festival, it rarely occurs at the same time as the New Year. The first spring of the new year refers to the beginning of spring on the first day of the new year. The last spring is 1992, and the next spring is February 4, 2038, that is, the first day of the first lunar month, which happens to be the beginning of the spring solar term, the time difference is 46 years, although the "100-year rare spring" has an exaggerated component, but it also shows that the "first spring" is a very rare day, a person is difficult to meet several times in a lifetime, it is a very rare good day, farmers think that this year is a very auspicious year, so it is described as "once in a century"!

So far, "it is rare to meet the leap in September in a lifetime, and it is rare to meet the first spring in a hundred years" has been passed down from the mouth.

There is an old saying that it is rare to meet the spring in a hundred years, and this sentence can only show that the probability of the spring is small! New Year is the most important festival for our Chinese, and our traditional festival is determined according to the lunar calendar, he is based on the moon's cloudy and sunny time to determine the size of the month, a year down about 365 days, in order to improve the lunar calendar, the leap month is added, that is, the lunar calendar we use now, the beginning of spring as one of the 24 solar terms, there are 24 solar terms in a year, the year mentioned here refers to the time when the earth revolves around the sun, so, the beginning of spring is a fixed time, Or it is an extra day in the 365 days minus the leap year, fixed in the time of a certain day, that is, the Gregorian calendar fixed February 4 or so, individual years are February 3 or 5, you know, the lunar New Year will be a leap in three years, there is a gap of nearly ten days every year, so it is very rare to say that it is very rare to say that it is not possible to catch up with the beginning of spring and the New Year, and the rare encounter here does not mean that you have to wait for the general year to meet once, but it is more difficult to meet.

We all know that the beginning of spring is generally around the Spring Festival, and its time in the Gregorian calendar is around February 4 every year, but the date of the lunar calendar is uncertain. However, the Spring Festival and the beginning of spring are on the same day, and there are such cases. For example, in 2038, the beginning of spring and the Spring Festival will be the same day, and there will be a strange calendar phenomenon of "the first spring of the new year".

And in 2087, there will also be the Spring Festival and the beginning of spring on the same day, that is, the beginning of spring on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It can be seen that the old saying of the ancients is not accurate, the leap month does not occur once in seven years, and the first day of the new year and the beginning of spring are not once in 100 years.

Judging from the previous historical years, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is rare to meet the first spring of the first year in a hundred years, and it is unreasonable. In summary, many of these sayings are an exaggerated technique, showing the rarity of some special years.

In fact, the original words of this are: It is difficult to wait for the leap in September in a lifetime. This is similar to the meaning that there is no such shop in this village.

It is impossible to study which dynasty the original words came from, but in the literary works of the Ming and Qing dynasties, these words have already appeared. This is mainly to use solar terms to warn young people that opportunities are rare, and if you miss them, you will not encounter them again. Especially to warn young people who want to marry wives.

When young people encounter girls with big buttocks and are reluctant to marry, old people often use these words to persuade young people. The original intention of letting young people marry and raise women is to make the family prosperous. In ancient times, the elders were very concerned about marrying a well-born woman and spreading the branches and leaves of the family.

Because it is a profession that depends on the weather for food, I am more concerned about the weather. Although there are still more than a month before the New Year, some farmers have begun to pay attention to the beginning of the Spring Festival. Some old farmers have long discovered that there is no beginning of spring in the 2019 lunar year.

The farmer was surprised at first, but when he looked through his calendar, he couldn't find the beginning of spring. Later, I flipped through it and suddenly realized that the beginning of spring in 2019 of the lunar calendar actually ran to the 2018 lunar calendar. Some elderly people in the countryside say that this year is a good year that is rare in a century.

In our daily life, we will find that there are many old sayings in the countryside about solar terms, which is ultimately because China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and the weather directly affects the harvest of farmers. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been many talented and wise people who will know the farming affairs of farmers by observing the relationship between solar terms and weather. Although it is not 100% correct, it is very reasonable, because it is a law that has been observed and summarized for many years.

These old sayings in the countryside are summarized by the people's long-term life experience, and this old saying "seven years are rare to meet the leap in September, and a hundred years are rare to meet the first spring" This is a common saying about solar terms, which also confirms that China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and climate changes can directly affect farmers' harvests.

This year, the beginning of spring and the New Year are the same day, and there is a general lunar calendar that there is no beginning of spring throughout the year, so that year is no spring year. In many places, it is called the Year of the Black, the Year of Slippery, and we call it the Year of the Widow. It is also because of this statement that there is no reason left by the ancients.

The meaning of this sentence is that it is difficult to see leap September, but it is even more difficult to see the beginning of spring on the first day of the new year, and there is no solar term such as the beginning of spring this year.

There are 7 leap months every 19 years, but leap September is rare. The beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, but it is difficult for the beginning of the spring to meet the first day of the new year, but this situation is very rare, so people will say, "It is rare to meet the first spring of the first year in a hundred years."

Nothing to worry about. It's just a sentence that people have summed up according to some laws and experiences of life. It is about a 7-year rare encounter in a leap September, and a 100-year rare encounter in the beginning of spring is the first day of the new year.

As the rural saying goes: "A hundred years are rare to meet leap September, and a hundred years are rare to meet spring", is this really the case?

It is true that you will encounter a leap September in about 100 years, and it is a bit exaggerated to encounter it in a hundred years or so, but in fact, you will encounter it once in about 20 years. Leap September means that there are two lunar months in the lunar calendar of a year, and the second September is called leap September. The New Year's Spring means that the first day of the Lunar New Year is the same day as the beginning of spring.

The reason for this phenomenon is that China has implemented a lunisolar calendar. Among them, the 24 solar terms are relatively fixed, the festivals of the lunar calendar change greatly, and in order to synchronize with the four seasons of the solar calendar, there are leap months.

A hundred years to meet a leap September is actually not an exaggeration。According to the data, the most recent leap September occurred in 2014, while the last leap September in 2014 was in 1832, and the next leap September was in 2109. It spans a century, and there is only one leap September in a century.

So there is nothing wrong with saying that you can wait for a leap September in a hundred years. However, looking at the difference between these years, it may be more appropriate to wait for a leap September in 90.

The beginning of spring is based on the solar calendar, because the rotation orbit and time between the sun and the earth are basically fixed every year, so the 24 solar terms calculated by the solar calendar actually do not change much。The first day of the Lunar New Year is the first day of the lunar calendar, and the time of the year is different from that of the solar calendar. So there is little chance that these two festivals will coincide, but it is not impossible.

The most recent one was in 1992, and the next one is in 2038, and the distance between the two years is not far away, and the claim of a hundred years is exaggerated.

In general, it is said that this is due to the lunisolar calendar practiced in China. So there is such a saying among the people. As for why there is such a statement, China is a big agricultural country, and it has something to do with it.

The 24 solar terms actually correspond to the cultivation time of agriculture, and the same is true for the leap month. Leap September and the beginning of spring were important festivals in the past, which had something to do with the farming of farmers, and some people would create some slips to remind them of farming in order to better remember these times.

It is true that the year in which we experienced a leap September was 2014, and the year before 2014 was 1832, with an interval of more than 100 years. And the next leap September is in 2109, also a hundred years later, so it can be seen that this proverb is true. "A hundred years of rare spring" is the "beginning of spring" this solar term just began on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the recent years we know, there has been no such situation, it can be seen that this saying is also true.

The last time there was a leap September was in 1832, when it was still the world of Lafayette in the late Qing Dynasty, it was indeed a rare encounter in a hundred years, and the new year was the day when the "beginning of spring" was said to be the same day as the "first day of the new year".

"A rare encounter in a hundred years" is "the beginning of spring", that is, the day of the new year saying "the beginning of spring" and the day of the "first day of the new year" are exactly the same day. Think about the day when the New Year is celebrating and it happens to be the beginning of spring, symbolizing the blooming of spring, what a beautiful omen. The next time will be in 2038, but it may not be a once-in-a-century event, and it will happen once in twenty or thirty years.

Is it really true that the rural proverb: "A hundred years of rare leap September, a hundred years of rare spring"?

In seven consecutive years, it is difficult to encounter the ninth month of Run, and in a hundred years, it is impossible to meet the first day of the new year.

Even if you can't touch the leap September in 7 years, you can't touch it in 100 years, and the first day of the new year is the beginning of spring, and you can't touch it in 19 years.

19 years can not be met, the last time in leap September was in 2014, the beginning of spring in the Spring Festival 100 years of rare coincidence, this year is not.

The meaning of this phrase is that September is a leap month, which may not be encountered in many years. The 100 years of the beginning of spring may not necessarily coincide. 19 years will definitely not be encountered.

In fact, it is a truth that these two situations are rarely encountered.

I can't touch it this year, after all, the leap September is 14 years, and it will be 20 years before the beginning of spring.

It certainly won't happen in 19 years, and sometimes it may take hundreds of years to meet again.

The meaning of this sentence is to say, the first half of the sentence is to sayEven if there are seven leap years, it is difficult to meet a leap September, leap September refers to the occurrence of two Septembers in a year, and the second half of the sentence is that it is difficult to meet the first day of the new year and the beginning of spring for hundreds of years, and people who appear in the 24 solar terms naturally know that the beginning of spring is also one of them.

The probability of leap September has been very low since the beginning, and there is basically none, and only the two years that can be detected are 1832 and 2014. There is a gap of 100 years between these two years, and this sentence says that seven years is rare for a leap in September, but this is by no means the seven years as the saying goes. Seven years here refers to a long period of time, and most of the proverbial quantifiers do not refer to a specific time, but only to let us know how unlikely it is to occur in leap September.

The second sentence is a rare spring in a hundred years, and the spring here refers to the solar term of the beginning of spring. The arrival of the beginning of spring represents the beginning of the recovery of all things, but the time of the beginning of spring is different according to the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar. The fourth day of February in the Gregorian calendar is the beginning of spring every year, but the lunar calendar is different every year, and the beginning of spring in 2019 is the Chinese New Year's Eve in 2018.

The probability of the beginning of spring and the Spring Festival on the same day is indeed very small, and the closest to us should be in 2038.

Therefore, the common saying of the ancients in our country is also very reasonable, saying that everything in the world is done, and there are many laws. Although the two situations mentioned by this proverb are very rare, they are not so exaggeratedHowever, the reason why there is such a saying is actually because of the ancients' yearning and beauty for life. Nowadays, not so many people pay attention to solar terms, but in ancient times it was an auspicious omen.

This proverb is interpreted literally, that is, to sayThe probability of a leap September is very low, and it only happens once in 7 years. On the first day of the new year, you can also meet the arrival of the beginning of spring, which is a very, very low probability, which can be said to be a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

In fact, this sentence is some of the experience of the older generation for solar terms. If you really calculate carefully, you will find that the probability of leap September is really very low. As a simple example, according to the lunar algorithm, there was a leap September in 2014.

What is lower than the probability of leap September is that the first day of the new year and the beginning of spring can coincide. If it does appear, then it will be a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.

According to the algorithm of the lunar calendar, each year will actually be more or less different, but now many people only know how to read the new calendar, and they know less and less about the lunar calendar.

But these sayings are summed up by the older generation, and they are also the embodiment of knowledge and culture. In particular, many elderly people are able to calculate the weather and many related things based on the lunar calendar. They will understand what needs to be done in what season to make the harvest better.

Therefore, in the past long agricultural production, working people have summed up a lot of common sayings about solar terms through meteorological observations. They will tell this knowledge to future generations in these very easy-to-remember sayings, hoping to give some guidance to future generations.
