“一年之计在于春”，在二十四节气当中，立春向来备受重视。

然而，随着马年春节的临近，“2026年马年是无春年，不宜婚嫁”，“马年是‘寡妇年’”等众多说法在社交平台上广泛传播，相关话题登上热搜。

In the traditional Chinese solar calendar, the "Start of Spring" (

lichun
) has always been highly valued as the first term of the 24 solar terms, embodying the saying, "The whole year's work depends on a good start in spring".

However, as the Year of the Horse approaches, various superstitious claims have been spreading rapidly across social media platforms. Assertions that the upcoming 2026 Year of the Horse is a "Springless Year" — making it inauspicious for weddings — have gone viral, with some even dubbing it a "Widow's Year".

据了解，所谓的“无春”，指的是即将到来的2026年马年将出现“无立春”现象，即全年没有立春日，民间称这样的年份为“无春年”。

“无春年”在我国民间被称为寡年、哑年、黑年，就此网上有传言称“马年无春，不宜嫁娶”“寡年无春，不宜结婚”。

The term "Springless Year" refers to a lunar year that contains no "Start of Spring" day. According to reports, the upcoming 2026 Year of the Horse will experience this phenomenon — no spring day falls within the entire lunar year.

In Chinese folk tradition, such years are variously called "bare years", "mute years", or "black years". Consequently, rumors have emerged online claiming that "a horse year without spring is unsuitable for marriage" or that "a bare year without spring is inauspicious for weddings".

北京网络举报发文辟谣称，事实上，“马年无春”是农历与公历历法差异的自然结果，“无春年”“两头春”平均每19年出现7次，与吉凶无关。

农历“无春年”是如何形成的？

据科技日报此前报道，中国天文学会会员、天津市天文科普专家林愿解释，这是农历年长度短于回归年的缘故。林愿强调，“无春”只是没有立春日，并不是说没有立春节气。

Lin Yuan, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and a Tianjin-based astronomical science communicator, explained that this occurs because the lunar year is shorter than the tropical year. He emphasized that "no spring" simply means there is no

lichun
day within that particular lunar year — it does not mean the solar term itself is absent.

2026年马年无春，是因为2025年的蛇年含闰六月，共13个月，包含了两个立春，致2026年马年全年无春。

The 2026 Year of the Horse lacks a

lichun
day because the preceding Year of the Snake (2025) contains a leap sixth month, making it a 13-month lunar year that encompasses two
lichun
days, thereby leaving the following lunar year without one.

天文科普专家明确表示，“无春年”是正常的历法演变，与婚丧嫁娶、吉凶福祸毫无关系，公众不要相信这些迷信的说法。
