Why is there no Chinese New Year's Eve during the Spring Festival this year?
Nanjing, 15 Jan (Xinhua) -- As the Spring Festival is approaching, it is not difficult for the public everywhere to discover that this year, as soon as the 29th lunar month passes the first day of the Lunar Year of the Dog, there is no such day as the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Why is this calendar phenomenon occurring?
Wang Sichao, a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed that the months in China's lunar calendar are arranged according to the cycle of the moon's waxing and waning, which is called the "synodic month." The average length of a synodic month is 29 days, 12 hours, and 44 minutes (days), which is not a whole number, and the number of days in a month is expressed as a whole number, so sometimes it is a small month, 29 days; Sometimes it's a big moon, 30 days.
So how do you determine how many days there are in a month? Astronomers have always scheduled the first day of each lunar month on the day of the "new year". "Shuo" is the moment when the moon is between the sun and the earth, that is, the time when the lunar ecliptic longitude is the same as the solar ecliptic longitude (at this time, people on the earth cannot see the moon), so that the number of days between the two consecutive new longitudes is determined.
The first day of the first lunar month of the upcoming Year of the Rooster and the first day of the first month of the upcoming Year of the Dog coincide with the small moon, so there is no Chinese New Year's Eve.
We know that the moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun with the moon, so that the moon's "Shuo" and "Wang" cycles are produced, and the circle and lack change occur. So, fundamentally, the synodic moon is a natural phenomenon caused by the relative motion of the three celestial bodies of the moon, the earth and the sun.
Wang Sichao said that such changes in the lunar calendar allow the Chinese public to enter the Year of the Dog one day earlier and meet with the Golden Dog, the most loyal friend of mankind. The golden dog not only symbolizes the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, but also is brave and energetic, symbolizing that the new year will be better.
According to astronomical experts, the last Spring Festival without Chinese New Year's Eve appeared in 2003, and the next time will be repeated in 2012.

According to Ma Weihong of the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Spring Festival is the New Year in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, and its arrangement takes into account both the sun and the moon. The Chinese lunar calendar calculates the number of days in a month based on the "synodic month cycle", and the day of "Shuo" is the first day of the new year, which is the time when people cannot see the moon at all; 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 month cycle" is long and short, and there is a division of 30 days for the big month and 29 days for the small month in the lunar year.
At the same time, 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. This year, the "Shuo" (first day of the first month) of the lunar month to the "first day of the new year" of the first month coincides with the small moon, so the Chinese New Year's Eve is omitted.

If the first day of the lunar month of one year coincides with the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, there is no Chinese New Year's Eve.
The lunar calendar does not have a 31-day month or a 28-day month like the Gregorian calendar, nor does it have a layout similar to the Gregorian calendar.
For example, the past lunar November was 30 days, and October was 29 days. Next year it will be the other way around, with 29 days in November and 30 days in October. If the last month of a lunar year (that is, the month of La) happens to have 29 days, then the year will only be the twenty-ninth of the Great Year and not the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
This year was the case.
It's not uncommon to not have Chinese New Year's Eve:
Similar situations are not uncommon, with 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2012, 2013, and 2016 not having a Chinese New Year's Eve. Moreover, from 2025 to 2029, there will be no Chinese New Year's Eve for five consecutive years.
This will not affect the New Year, just identify the last day of the lunar month as Chinese New Year's Eve.

Thirty-year-old women are the best time for comprehensive temperament, from the perspective of dressing, the upper can take the light and mature route, the lower can take the girlish style, and at the same time, in terms of life experience and experience, it has gradually faded away, attracting intellectual maturity and the ability to deal with things. So thirty years old is young.
There is a difference between the intellectuality of a thirty-year-old woman and the intellectuality of forty or fifty years old, in terms of temperament, a thirty-year-old woman is mature and exudes a youthful atmosphere at the same time, and the style of dressing is easy and has no limitations.
Suggested outfits are: wide-leg pants, small fragrances, vintage shirts, unisex sweaters, dresses and wild skirts.

This is normal! The reason is that there are leap months when there are finch, and sometimes there are no leap months, and they are all regular.
The Chinese lunar calendar is a calendar arranged according to the moon's phases. The moon orbits the earth for one week (with the sun as a reference, the actual moon orbits for more than one week) as a month, that is, the synodic month is used as the basis for determining the calendar month, and a year is a calendar of twelve calendar months! This is mainly determined by whether the lunar month is a big or small month.
Originally, the number of days in a month in the Chinese agricultural calendar was determined by the length of the moon's period between one "Shuo" (the moon orbiting between the sun and the earth, and the sun at the same time, and the moon could not be seen on the earth) to the next "Shuo". This time averages 29 days, 12 hours, and 44 minutes, which is the average length of a lunar month. However, since the relative operation between the moon, the earth and the sun is not static, this cycle is also long and short, sometimes 30 days, sometimes 29 days, and there are large and small months.
In order to ensure that the first day of the lunar month (the first day of the new year) must be a new day, the arrangement of the big and small months is not fixed. The "Shuo" (first day of the new year) from the first month of this year to the "first day of the new year" of the first month of the next year coincides with the small moon, so the Chinese New Year's Eve is "omitted". The last Spring Festival without Chinese New Year's Eve was in 2006, and this was the case in both 2013 and 2016.

No, there is no 30 lunar month, so there is none.

This is determined by the characteristics of the Gregorian calendar and the traditional lunar calendar in our country. At present, the Gregorian calendar year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds, and 365 days is regarded as a year of the Gregorian calendar for ease of use. In this way, for a total of 4 years, there are 23 hours, 15 minutes and 4 seconds more, almost.
If you accumulate 400 years in a time of close to one day, there will be 97 more days, and over time, there will be a reversal of cold and heat. The only solution would be to have a leap year every four years, with one day more than in a normal year for each leap year.
However, the arrangement of the traditional lunar calendar in China for thousands of years must consider both the sun and the moon, and in order to ensure that the first day of the lunar month (the first day of the new year) must be the new day, the arrangement of the large and small months is not fixed.
According to the arrangement of China's lunar calendar, when the moon is full, it is the fifteenth day of "hope", and when the moon is not visible, it is called "Shuo" as the first day of the new year. However, the average length of a synodic month is about days, not an integer, and the number of days in a month must be expressed as an integer, so sometimes it is a small month of 29 days; Sometimes it's a big moon, 30 days.
Therefore, this year's Spring Festival coincides with the small lunar month, so there are only 29 days, that is, there is no Chinese New Year's Eve. In fact, there were no Chinese New Year's Eve before the Spring Festival in 2000, 2001, and 2003.
-
Because this year's thirties were said to be gone by the Mayans. If you think about it, all the human beings on our earth are almost said to have not, let alone a date.
-
No, this year (2018) there is a Chinese New Year's Eve (February 15) before the Spring Festival.
-
Because the lunar calendar is divided into large and small months, the big month is 30 days, and the small month is 29 days, and this year's lunar month is just in time for the small month, so there is no 30.
-
Because some people don't want to celebrate their lunar birthdays.

There are really few exciting games in this World Cup, and the strong teams did not play the style of a strong team, and all the teams were cautious at the beginning and did not dare to attack aggressively. And playing in the South African highlands still has an impact on some teams, especially in the southern hemisphere when it's winter, the temperature is low and the players are slower to heat up. Another is the problem of the ball, many players are not very comfortable with this new ball, the ball is soft, it is not easy to exert force, and the other is the flight trajectory is erratic, causing the goalkeeper to get out of his hands, and the shooter must score out... >>>More
The first reason is that we are in a La NiƱa state this year, that is, the sea surface temperature in the eastern equatorial Pacific is lower than normal and below the negative degree, and the impact of this phenomenon on China's climate is very obvious.
