农历好像有一定的规律， 春节的箱体范围在1月21日-2月20日之间， 每年的间隔大约为12天， 如果今年的春节在1/22，明年往前推12天 肯定不是1月10日， 到了1月21日要从2月20日再往前算11天， 那么2024年的春节大概在2月10日， 2025大概在 1月29日，2026大概在2月17

原來是這樣啊！農曆從來沒有認真學過算法 那閏月是怎麼決定閏幾月的呢？

According to Old Almanac, Lap Chun (in Cantonese, 立春) (04Feb in western calendar) - the first day of spring or new year is always the same…every year. For the general public we follow the Chinese lunar calendar of 1st day, 1st month. 🙂
