Triggered a hot discussion among netizens

Beijing, Shanghai and other places have already begun to grab New Year’s Eve.
Many restaurants, hotels and private rooms are fully booked.
The National Day promotion has just passed, and it seems to be still early for the Chinese New Year. But people in Beijing, Shanghai and other places have begun to grab the New Year’s Eve dinner.
According to the Beijing News, in Beijing, many restaurants received orders for New Year’s Eve dinner as soon as the National Day was over. The heads of a number of catering enterprises predict that from the current booking situation, the New Year’s Eve market in 2025 may usher in a more eye-catching "transcript". In an interview with reporters, a person in charge of catering in Beijing said that the dining reservation for the 2025 New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival holiday was officially opened on October 8 this year, which is also a "tradition" in the store for many years. "Every year, before the door is opened, many consumers are waiting in line at the door." Up to now, the store has booked 144 tables during the New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival, including 65 tables for New Year’s Eve and 79 tables for holidays from the first day to the seventh day. All the rooms on New Year’s Eve have been booked.
In another restaurant in Beijing, the earliest 2025 dinner order came from New Year’s Eve in 2024. The person in charge said that many guests directly placed orders for the next year’s dinner after eating the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner. Up to now, the lunch room of the restaurant on New Year’s Eve in 2025 has been basically booked. Tao Ran, the manager of the store, said that some customers came to have a family dinner during the National Day and booked the private rooms for the Spring Festival dinner. At present, the private rooms for dinner on New Year’s Eve are all fully booked.
In Shanghai, the popularity of the New Year’s Eve market has also begun to "heat up". According to the Morning News, the reporter learned from many old brands, hotel chains and popular restaurants in Shanghai that the reservations for New Year’s Eve are being opened one after another, and the boxes and the "first half" batches of New Year’s Eve are among the hottest, and many of them have been booked out.
"Our store started late this year. On October 7th, the on-site reservation was opened at 6:30 am, and the first batch of private rooms and halls were fully booked at 10:30 am." A hotel clerk in Shanghai said.
On the other hand, the reporter also found that customers who need a large table with more than 10 people are not easy to book a large table with more than 10 people because of the relatively narrow choice. "Our biggest thing is that we can sit at a table for 10 people, and 12 people can squeeze. No more will do. However, you can put two adjacent tables for 10 people in the same space, so that you can walk around and communicate with each other. " A hotel clerk in Shanghai told reporters.
From this year
There is no 30 years in five consecutive years.
It is reported that last year, the Lunar New Year’s Eve in the Year of the Loong was February 9, 2024, which was "the last 30th anniversary in recent years".
becauseFrom 2025 until 2029, New Year’s Eve for five consecutive years is "New Year’s Day 29".These days are: January 28th, 2025, February 16th, 2026, February 5th, 2027, January 25th, 2028 and February 12th, 2029.
Why is the New Year’s Eve sometimes absent?
It turns out that this is all caused by the moon. The China lunar calendar calculates the number of days in a month according to the change of the moon phases, which is called "the period of the first lunar month" in astronomy. The day of "New Moon" is the first day, on which people can’t see the moon at all. The date of "Wang" is fifteen, which is the time of the full moon. Because the relative motion among the moon, the earth and the sun is not static, the "period of the first lunar month" is long and short. The average length of a lunar month is 29.53 days, which is not an integer, but the number of days in a month should be expressed in integers, so sometimes it is 29 days in a small month and 30 days in a big month. In order to ensure that the first day of each lunar month must be the new moon, the arrangement of the big and small months is not fixed, which needs to be determined through observation and scientific calculation. It is not uncommon for the twelfth lunar month to meet a small moon, which will appear in about three to five years. In 2013, 2016, 2022 and five years from 2025 to 2029, there was no 30th anniversary. However, because the average length of the first lunar month is more than 29 days, the number of big moons is slightly more than that of small moons every year. Although New Year’s Eve will "disappear", New Year’s Eve, as a traditional festival, has always been there, whether it is the 29th or 30th of the twelfth lunar month.
After learning about this, netizens said: interesting knowledge has increased again.
Finally, let’s talk about a magical thing:The first month of leap in 2262.
Therefore, there are two Spring Festival in 2262.
