As soon as the Spring Festival is over this year, we will soon find out that the next Chinese New Year's Eve will be 2030. There has been no Chinese New Year's Eve for five years in a row, which makes many people wonder, is this a coincidence or some kind of mysterious providence?
In fact, all this is a "masterpiece" of the rotation and revolution of the earth. Every four years, we go through a leap year, which has 366 days. After the end of February in leap years, we naturally look forward to the next Chinese New Year's Eve. However, due to leap years, February of the year has 29 days instead of the usual 28 days. This results in no other date between February 29 and the next Chinese New Year's Eve, i.e. January 31.
This is actually an interesting phenomenon. When January 31 arrives after the leap year, we will not really experience a year of "no Chinese New Year's Eve". It's just that because of leap years, we won't experience a "biennial" Chinese New Year's Eve for five consecutive years. But as we enter the next leap year, February 29 is followed by January 31, the long-lost Chinese New Year's Eve.
This phenomenon is not a providential or mystical force at work, but a natural consequence of the Earth's rotation and revolution. Of course, for us ordinary people, whether we are in Chinese New Year's Eve or not, the important thing is to reunite with our families and enjoy that special night.
As for the phenomenon that there is no Chinese New Year's Eve after the Spring Festival this year, we can understand it this way: this is actually a little joke played by the earth to us. In this joke, we have the opportunity to cherish every moment we spend with our families even more, because we all know that such moments are rare and precious.
