How to do it by hand in the Year of Rabbit?

Handmade practices about the Year of the Rabbit are as follows:

Preparation materials: A4 colored paper (you can choose different colored paper), glue, scissors, pencil, crayons, a pair of disposable chopsticks, a round paper cup and a rope.

(1) Draw the rabbit's face, ears, tail and limbs on A4 colored paper and cut them out.

(2) Draw the rabbit's eyes, ears, mouth and cheeks, and stick the rabbit's ears and face with a glue stick. The two halves of the rabbit's tail are heart-shaped, the face chain is folded into a spring shape, and the rectangle of the rabbit's body is bonded end to end.

(3) Attach the rabbit's front legs, hind legs and tail to the body, and pay attention to the hind legs attached to the long joints of the body. Now stick the rabbit's face on the body with a "paper spring", and pay attention to the rabbit's face above the front foot.

(4) Put one end of the thread or rope through the rabbit's body and lift the other end with chopsticks to get a cute little rabbit paper lantern.

The year of rabbit is the year of hair, and every twelve years is a cycle. The Year of the Rabbit is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "rabbit" in the zodiac corresponds to the base of the twelve branches. For example, the Year of the Rabbit of Gregorian calendar 20 1 1 basically corresponds to the year of Xinmao.

The Year of the Rabbit is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 7.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 7.

For example: 20 1 1÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 7, then 20 1 1 is the year of the rabbit.

Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the elephant trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. Gregorian calendar starts from 65438+ 10/month 1, while lunar calendar starts from the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, that day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

The Year of the Rabbit is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main branch. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (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 each 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.
