The current method of setting intercalary in the lunar calendar is "seven leaps in nineteen years", that is, every two to three years, a lunar month that is the same as the previous month must be added, and the added month is called a leap month.The rules of the intercalation method are based on the twenty-four solar terms related to the solar year.A tropical year is divided into twenty-four solar terms.If the twenty-four solar terms are arranged from the beginning of spring to the great cold, then the odd-numbered solar term is called the solar term, and the even-numbered one is called the Zhongqi.
