闰年迷信

 闰年迷信

9月后的30天、

四月、六月和十一月;

其余的都有三十一个、

仅仅是2月份除外

其中有28个,总之、

直到闰年才有二十九岁。

- 古语

我们日常使用的日历是一种人工媒介,几个世纪以来,人们一直在努力使其更加准确和有用。 地球自转的时间是365 ¼天,但日历年是365天,因此每四年一次,以平衡这一点,我们有一个闰年和一个额外的日子,2月29日。

因为这样的年份比正常年份罕见,所以成为幸运的预兆。 事实上,2月29日本身就是一个特别重要的日子。 在这一天开始的任何事情都肯定会成功。

当然,1504年闰年的2月29日对一位克里斯托弗-哥伦布来说是非常成功的。

这位著名的探险家在牙买加小岛上被放逐了几个月。 虽然岛上的土著人最初提供了食物和补给,但哥伦布傲慢和霸道的态度让土著人非常恼火,他们完全停止了这种做法。

面对饥饿,哥伦布想出了一个鼓舞人心的计划。 他查阅了船上的历法,发现月食即将来临,便召集当地酋长,向他们宣布,如果他们不给他的船员提供食物,上帝会惩罚他们。 作为上帝要惩罚他们的预兆,天空中会出现一个迹象:上帝会让月亮变暗。

就在这时,月食开始了。 哥伦布戏剧性地消失在他的船舱里,因为当地人开始恐慌并乞求他恢复月球。 一个多小时后,哥伦布从船舱里走出来,宣布如果当地人同意向他和他的船员提供他们所需要的一切,上帝就准备撤销对他的惩罚。 当地酋长立即同意,并哥伦布继续收到食物和补给,直到1504年6月获救。

对于女性来说,2月29日也可以是一个非常成功的日子,因为每四年一次的2月29日,她们有 "权利 "向一个男人求婚。

每个妇女在每个闰年的2月29日求婚的权利可以追溯到几百年前,当时英国法律不承认闰年这一天(这一天被 "跃过 "而被忽略,因此称为 "闰年")。 当时决定这一天没有法律地位,意味着在这一天打破传统是可以接受的。

因此,在这一天,妇女可以利用这一反常现象,向她们想结婚的男人求婚。

然而,在苏格兰,为了确保成功,她们还应该在裙子下穿一件红色衬裙--并确保在求婚时,男人能看到部分衬裙。

对于那些希望利用这一古老传统的人来说,2月29日是你们的日子!
