In Asia (especially China), leap month refers to one month added every two to three years in the lunar calendar. In order to coordinate the contradiction between the tropic year and the lunar year and prevent the lunar year from being out of touch with the tropic year, that is, the four seasons, 1 leap is set every 2~3 years.
