As per the Chinese SOLAR Calendar, the first day of the year is called “Li Chun” and it always falls on the 4 February. As per the Chinese LUNAR Calendar, the first day of 2013 or the “Yin Water Snake” is 10 February, 2013. Since in 2013, the first day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar (10 Feb, 2013) is after “Lichun” (4 February, 2013), 2013 does not have a “Li Chun”. When there is no “Li Chun” in a lunar year, it is known as a “Widow Year”. According to Chinese legend, when a couple marry in a “Widow Year”, there is a higher probability of the husband dying first and leaving his wife a widow.
