Please note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars.

The Gregorian calendar begins with 65438+1 October1,while the dry calendar begins with the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, this day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

The year of the dog is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the zodiac is attached to the calendar of the trunk and branch, and the calendar of the trunk and branch is the calendar of the trunk and branch. The same is true of the official almanac (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

There is no doubt that the lunar calendar only uses branches to mark the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve.

Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in a year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.

The origin of the year of the dog

Dogs were once regarded as ancestors by human beings. As early as the matriarchal clan society, primitive people living in the Yellow River valley had dogs, and Zhou Li set up an official position "Dog Man", which was responsible for leading dogs to sacrifice. In the Han dynasty, the court set up a dog supervisor, which was the official in charge of the emperor's hounds.

In the Tang dynasty, there was a kennel in Wuchang, which was an official position dedicated to raising hounds for the emperor. When human society entered the period of animal husbandry and small-scale peasant production, dogs guarded their homes and called the police to look after the herds, thus completing the great cause of mankind.

The word "fu" is the embodiment of human attitude towards dogs. The relationship between dogs and people will always be as hard to give up as the word "V", and the dog will always be loyal to its former maid and today's master.
