What is 69?

The zodiac born in 1969 belongs to the rooster, and the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 1 is the year of the rooster. The Year of the Rooster is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the calendar year of the trunk and branch, and the calendar year of the trunk and branch is the calendar year method of the trunk and branch.

The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar). The lunar calendar only records the year with the trunk and branch, and the trunk and branch calendars are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the rules of dividing the month, the number of days in a year and so on.

The trunk calendar is a calendar marked with 60 different heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is a unique solar calendar in China. It takes beginning of spring as the beginning of the year, and divides the year into twelve months with twenty-four solar terms. Every month contains two solar terms, and there is no leap month.

The Origin of Chicken Zodiac

King Chicken is a competitive guy, always making trouble. He quarreled with other chickens. When the jade emperor sealed the zodiac, he considered whether animals contributed to human beings, and of course he could not rank the king of chickens.

But one day, King Chicken was very envious when he saw the horse that was sealed with the zodiac. He went forward and asked, "Brother Ma, what is your honor today?" Ma replied: "I usually plow and transport things, and I have made great contributions to mankind in wartime." Of course, I should be loved. "

The chicken king came home, thought about it, and finally thought of waking up the sleeping people with his golden voice. So every day at dawn, the chicken king gets up early and sings loudly to wake people up from their sleep. People are very grateful for the contribution of the Chicken King, and decided to ask the Jade Emperor to make the Chicken a god as the Zodiac.
