What does Ding Maonian mean? How to start the year of cadres?

1. The traditional calendar of China adopts the calendar year of trunk and branch, and the year of Dingmao is one of the sixty calendar years of trunk and branch. Hair corresponds to rabbits, so it is the year of the rabbit. Ding Mao's recent years are roughly equivalent to (not completely coincident with) the Gregorian calendar AD 1927, 1987 and 2047.

2. The Gregorian calendar year is counted from the beginning of spring of 24 solar terms, because the Gregorian calendar year is the Gregorian calendar year method. 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. Because there is a corresponding relationship between the zodiac and the earthly branches, the zodiac is also counted from beginning of spring.
