How to distinguish between the lunar March and the leap March

If there are two Marches in a year, the first March is the regular lunar March, and the second March is the leap March. Since the month that is leap is determined by the previous month, the name of the leap month is decided based on the name of the previous month. For example, the leap month in 1993 appeared after the lunar March and before the lunar April, so this leap month is called "leap March".

Will people born in a leap month harm their parents?

People born in a leap month will not harm their parents. There is a belief that the leap month is a special month, so the birth date and time would be unique, making the person's fate strong and possibly causing harm to their parents. However, this belief has no basis. The leap month is merely an adjustment method to ensure the calendar operates properly, and it does not bring any negative impact on a person's destiny or their relationship with others.
