How do you say there is no spring for a year?

The saying that there is no spring in a year is "the year without spring"

1. There is no such thing as spring.

In ancient times, there were two different names for a year without spring, namely, Black Year and Widowed Year, because beginning of spring was a solar term that the ancients attached great importance to. It means that winter goes and spring comes, and everything grows. Without beginning of spring, there will be no good harvest this year.

But with the passage of time, the concept that men are superior to women is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the ancients began to blame this "fault" on women. My widowed year gradually evolved into a widowed year, which is the first origin of the widowed year. The other is related to literal meaning. In ancient times, spring was often associated with women, representing men and women.

2. There is no reason for spring

In ancient times, "no spring" meant widowhood, so the ancients called a year without spring a widow's year. Widowhood is just a way of saying. In fact, whether there is beginning of spring or not is not directly related to whether you can get married. In fact, the emergence of "no spring year" is caused by the "wrong day" of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.

The solar calendar is based on the law that the earth revolves around the sun. The revolution of the earth is 365.24 days. One year 12 months. According to the date of the solar calendar, we can clearly see the changes in temperature and warmth throughout the year. The lunar calendar is based on the law of the moon's profit and loss. The moon goes around the earth once in January, and a year is twelve calendar months. Twelve lunar months have about 354 days.

The calendar of our country is a kind of yin-yang calendar, which is formulated in combination with the sun-moon cycle. A year is divided into 24 solar terms according to the movement of the sun, and months according to the movement of the moon, and a leap month is added to solve the time difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.

As a result, some years have thirteen months in a year. In this way, the solar terms in beginning of spring may appear in the twelfth month of last year or the first month of next year, resulting in "no spring" and "double spring" years.

3. Is a year without spring a widowed year?

People always say that a year without beginning of spring is a year of widowhood. Because of the combination of yin and yang, this has caused the special calendar phenomenon of "no spring year" There is no scientific basis for saying that "the year without spring" is not suitable for getting married and having children. There are many opinions about widowhood, and the most common one is that widowhood is not suitable for marriage because it has no spring.
