go on New Year’s Eve?

There is no New Year’s Eve

It’s all the moon’s fault

"Such a situation is related to the calculation rules of our country's lunar calendar. In our country's lunar calendar, the lunar months are mainly based on the cycle of the moon's waxing and waning."

Wang Kechao, director of science popularization at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the moon orbits the earth During one rotation, the moon takes on different appearances when viewed from the Earth. When the geocentric ecliptic longitudes of the moon and the sun are equal, the moon cannot be seen on the earth. The moon phase at this moment is called the new moon, and the day is called the new moon. It is the first day of each lunar month and is called the first day of the lunar calendar. Therefore, the first day of the lunar month occurs every lunar month.

According to reports, the interval from one new moon to the next is one month of the lunar calendar, which is called synodic month to , with an average length of 29.53 days. In fact, the length of the synodic moon is not fixed, it is more than 29 days. The shortest time in this century is 29.27 days, and the longest time is 29.82 days. Rounding up, the lunar month is divided into a big month and a small month, with the former having 30 days and the latter having 29 days. If the twelfth lunar month happens to coincide with the small lunar month, the New Year's Eve will be "absent".

"According to statistics over the years, the proportion of New Year's Eve celebrations is slightly higher. It is normal to have no New Year's Eve celebrations for five consecutive years, but it is relatively rare." Wang Kechao said.

It is not uncommon for the twelfth lunar month to meet a small moon

But New Year's Eve has always been

According to reports, it is not uncommon for the twelfth lunar month to meet a small moon, and it will happen once every three to five years.

For example, in 2013, 2016, 2022 and the five consecutive years from 2025 to 2029, there is no New Year's Eve.

Some experts said that the New Year's Day is determined based on the true positions of the moon and the sun, and the length of the New Year's Eve cycle itself is also different, so there is no clear pattern to follow on New Year's Eve. “Although New Year’s Eve will ‘disappear’, New Year’s Eve as a traditional festival will always be there.”

In addition, according to the leap month rules, there will be a leap month in 2262, which means that we will have two Spring Festivals that year.
