Group 1: Lunar Calendar and Spring - The Year of the Horse (2026) will have its New Year on February 17, 2026, and will include the spring date of February 4, 2027, thus it is not a "no spring year" [1][2]. - The concept of "no spring year" and "double spring year" is a common phenomenon in the lunar calendar, which does not correlate with auspiciousness for marriage [2][3]. Group 2: Cultural Beliefs and Misconceptions - The belief that "no spring year" is inauspicious for marriage stems from ancient associations of spring with fertility and growth, leading to superstitions that lack scientific basis [2]. - Despite the misconceptions, millions of couples marry each year, and their marital success is not influenced by the presence or absence of spring in the lunar calendar [2].
