What month is leap August fortune telling _ what month is leap August fortune telling?

1995 belongs to the second year of the lunar calendar, with 13 months, that is, there is an extra leap August. At that time, there were some sayings circulating in the society, such as "Leap eight is unlucky", "Leap seven is not leap eight, and leap eight is killed with a knife", which obviously has no scientific basis. Then, why is there a leap month, and why is 1995 a leap August?

The calendar adopted in China is the perpetual calendar, commonly known as the solar calendar. The earth revolves around the sun for one year; The traditional lunar calendar in China, commonly known as the lunar calendar, takes the cycle of the moon as the unit for calculating time. The earth goes around the sun once, and the temperature changes once. So the solar calendar is 365 days a year, which is consistent with the change of hot and cold. The lunar calendar has 354 days a year, which is different from the solar calendar by 1 1 day, so it is adjusted by leap month. The error in 8 years is nearly a quarter, and the error in 16 is half a year. Setting leap month can not only accurately reflect the changes of cold and summer, but also ensure the relative stability of gas changes throughout the year.

According to the current lunar leap system, the August of the lunar calendar must include the autumnal equinox, and the September of the lunar calendar must include the first frost. If the leap August is not arranged, the first frost will appear on the first day of 10, and the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice of 1996 will be pushed off. In order to avoid this situation, it is more appropriate to arrange a leap August in the lunar calendar 1995.

Leap August occurs once every 19 years, 1957, 1976, 1995 are leap August, and there will be another leap August on 20 14, 2033 and 2052. This is a reasonable arrangement in calendar calculation, and there is nothing mysterious.

In short, the leap month is only used to adjust the time difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, which is convenient for human labor and production. Its appearance is the understanding and utilization of natural phenomena by human civilization, and has no internal connection with social phenomena and natural disasters. People should never be confused by the saying that there is a disaster in August.
