The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve will also be in the "twenty-ninth".
There are no 30 days in a month, which is a very normal thing in the lunar calendar. Because the current lunar calendar is arranged according to the astronomical data of the earth, the moon, and the sun, it is necessary to see no bright part of the moon on the first day of each month, that is, "Shuo".
In fact, the average period of the moon from round to absent is 2953 days, the number of days in the month must be an integer, which leads to the emergence of big months and small months, and it will happen that a month has 20 days and a month has 29 days.
If this month happens to be the month of Wax, then this year (lunar calendar) will not be the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Chinese New Year's Eve will be advanced to the twenty-ninth month of the Lunar Month.
