2024 is a very special year, both a year without spring and a leap year, commonly known as the year of the widow. The so-called non-spring year refers to a year when there is no spring solar term on the lunar calendar. Although on the Gregorian calendar, the beginning of spring in 2024 is February 4, according to the lunar date, the beginning of spring is actually on the 25th day of the lunar month of 2023. Therefore, between the first day of the first month of 2024 and the first day of the first month of 2025, there is no beginning of the Spring Festival. People use the term "no spring" to describe this situation, but it does not mean that there is really no spring. A leap year, on the other hand, is a year in which the number of years is divisible by four and not divisible by 100. The year 2024 meets this condition and is a 366-day leap year.
Then for next year, there are also two folk sayings about leap years.
In rural areas, if a family plans to build a new house, they usually choose to start construction in the spring, build it in the summer, renovate it in the fall, and move in in the winter. Therefore, there is a proverb that if there is no spring year, it means that there is no beginning and no end, which makes people feel very awkward. Of course, this is just a folk saying, and there is no scientific basis, and we should still look at it rationally.
The second proverb is "immovable soil in leap years", where "groundbreaking" refers to the removal of graves. In some places, there is a saying that it is taboo to move graves in leap years. The ancients were very particular about the funeral culture, so unless there are uncontrollable reasons, they will not easily move the grave.
Those three things are related to the body of our elderly
The first one should not be worn less. The elderly especially emphasized the importance of spring cover for our health. Temperatures fluctuate greatly in early spring, and climate change has a direct impact on our health.

The elderly are advised to drink less cold drinks during this period, especially not to eat a large amount of raw and cold food, so as not to adversely affect the internal organs. On the contrary, you should choose warm foods, such as ginger soup and walnut paste, to enhance your physique and resist the invasion of cold evil from the outside world.
Finally, it is not advisable to sit for long periods of time. Spring comes late in leap years, but once spring does arrive and everything recovers, people tend to go out in high spirits. However, the elders believe that in early spring, especially in leap years, the cold has not completely subsided, the yang energy is not full, and the human body is still in a relatively weak state. Therefore, in the spring of 2024, we should pay attention to moderate exercise and avoid excessive physical exertion so as not to affect our physical health.
