"I heard that there is no beginning of spring in 2024, is this true? Isn't our Year of the Dragon unlucky? Recently, a discussion about the beginning of spring in the Year of the Dragon in 2024 has caused heated discussions on the Internet. As a veteran life horoscope and traditional culture blogger, today I want to unveil this mystery for you and take you to understand the mystery behind the traditional Chinese solar terms.
First of all, we need to clarify what the beginning of spring is. The beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, marking the arrival of spring, the temperature gradually warms up, and everything recovers. In traditional Chinese farming culture, Lichun has an important position. So, why is there no beginning of spring in the Year of the Dragon in 2024?
This is actually because of the difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. The traditional lunar calendar in China is based on the time of the moon around the earth for one month, while the solar calendar is based on the time of the earth around the sun for one year. Due to the rotation and revolution of the earth, there is a difference between the lunar year and the solar year, which will differ by about a month or so every three years.
The Year of the Dragon in 2024 coincided with the difference between the lunar and solar calendars, resulting in the absence of the beginning of spring that year. But that doesn't mean the Year of the Dragon 2024 is unlucky. In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon is a symbol of good fortune, representing authority, dignity, and wealth. The Year of the Dragon is often considered an auspicious year in which people pray for good luck, peace, and a good harvest.
So, even if there is no beginning of spring in the Year of the Dragon in 2024, it does not mean that the year is unlucky. We have to believe that the Year of the Dragon will bring good luck and good fortune with or without the beginning of spring. As Chinese, we must inherit and carry forward our traditional culture, so that more people can understand and love our festivals and customs.
Finally, let's look forward to the arrival of the Year of the Dragon in 2024, believing that this year will bring us more joy and good luck.
