「2024 甲辰年的到來令人期待，我們與它一同送別了2023年。根據天文科普專家的介紹，2024年是公曆中的閏年，全年共有366天，而正逢農曆甲辰年（龍年），則是平年，全年共有354天。」
A New Year Begins: 2024
As we bid farewell to 2023, we step into the eagerly anticipated year of 2024. According to astronomical experts, the calendar year 2024 is a leap year with 29 days in February, making a total of 366 days in the year. The upcoming lunar year, 甲辰年 (Year of the Dragon), is a normal year with 354 days.
| Year | Leap/Normal | Days |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Leap Year | 366 |
| 2023 | Normal Year | 365 |
| 2024甲辰年 | Normal Year | 354 |
The intercalary months are added every 19 years to adjust the lunar calendar to the solar year, which is why the year of the dragon has 354 days and only 23 solar terms.
The Science behind the Different Lengths of the Solar and Lunar Years
- The calendar year is based on the Earth’s revolution around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.2422 days, or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds.
- To account for the fractional part of the day, every fourth year is a leap year with 29 days in February, making 366 days in total. However, if the year is a century year (e.g., 1800, 1900, 2100) and cannot be divided by 400, it remains a normal year with 365 days.
- The lunar year is based on the phases of the Moon and the annual movement of the Sun. The lunar year consists of 12 months, with full moons marking their end and beginning. The months are either 29 or 30 days, leading to a total of 354 or 355 days in the lunar year.
The Puzzle of the Missing Days and Solar Terms
- The 2024甲辰龍年的起始 date is from February 10, 2024, to January 28, 2025, totaling 354 days.
- The first solar term of the year, Rain Water, falls on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
- The Spring Equinox, typically the first solar term of the year, is on February 4, 2024, which falls within the preceding year, 2023癸卯兔年, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. This results in there being no Spring Equinox in the 2024甲辰龍年.
The Impact of Intercalary Months
The insertion of intercalary months every 19 years to reconcile the lunar and solar calendars explains the irregularities in the number of days and solar terms within a lunar year.
“The year of the dragon has 354 days and only 23 solar terms, which is a result of the ancient calendar makers’ efforts to align the lunar calendar with the changing seasons,” explains Li Ming, an astronomer and member of the Chinese Astronomy Society.
In summary, the leap year and the lunar year of 2024 have different lengths due to the complex mechanisms of the Gregorian and Chinese calendars, respectively. These variations are necessary to keep our calendars in sync with celestial cycles.
