When it comes to leap years, I believe everyone is familiar with them. They are taught in the math textbooks of primary schools. Leap years and common years are both summaries of the number of days in a year. A leap year has 366 days, while a common year has 365 days. So let's see, is 1954 a leap year?
Is 1954 a leap year?
No, it's not.
1954 is not a leap year. It is a common year.
1954 was a common year, traditionally known as the Jia Wu year in the Chinese calendar, the Year of the Horse. The Spring Festival fell on February 3rd, and there was no leap month. Its first day started on a Friday.
So, our 1954 is a common year, not a leap year.

What does a leap year mean?

A leap year is a term used in the Gregorian calendar. Leap years are divided into common leap years and century leap years. A common leap year is a year that can be divided by 4 but not by 100 (for example, 2004 was a leap year, while 1999 was not);
A century leap year is a year that can be divided by 400 (for example, 2000 was a century leap year, while 1900 was not);
A leap year was established to compensate for the time difference caused by human calendar regulations. The year that compensates for this time difference is called a leap year. A leap year has 366 days (the months from January to December have 31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, and 31 days respectively).
Any year that has a leap day (February 29th) is a leap year; the remaining days (the extra days compared to the solar year) are also considered. Note that a leap year (a term in the Gregorian calendar) and a leap month (a term in the lunar calendar) are not directly related. The Gregorian calendar only distinguishes between leap years and common years. A common year has 365 days, while a leap year has 366 days (with an extra day in February). A common year may also have a leap month (such as 2017, which was a common year in the Gregorian calendar but had a leap month in the lunar calendar).
