When does the animal year begin? What day of the year?

Many people don't know when the animal year should start. There are several versions on the Internet, one is from the first day of the first month, the other is from beginning of spring, and the other is from New Year's Day. So when is the animal year and when did it start? Next, I'll take you to know about it.

The year of the animal is simply a person's zodiac sign and a fleeting year (written as: the time that passes like water, which is abbreviated as one year and that year in the field of Yi studies), commonly known as the year of the zodiac. Because there are 12 zodiac signs, the zodiac year appears once every 12 years.

The lunar calendar in China is a kind of "yin and yang calendar", that is, based on the sun and the moon, the 24 solar terms reflect the cycle of the sun. The first and fifteenth days reflect the cycle of the moon. Before the Revolution of 1911, the first day of the Lunar New Year was called "New Year's Day" and beginning of spring was called "Spring Festival". After the Revolution of 1911, the government of the Republic of China announced the abolition of the lunar calendar and the adoption of a new calendar (Gregorian calendar). From 19 12, the Gregorian calendar 1 is called "New Year's Day". 19 14 1, the government of the Republic of China issued a decree to change the name of Lunar New Year's Day to "Spring Festival", which has been used ever since.

Therefore, according to the zodiac, beginning of spring, the first of the 24 solar terms, is still regarded as the beginning of a year, and beginning of spring stands for the beginning of spring and the beginning of a year. Therefore, according to the zodiac sign, of course, it should be calculated by beginning of spring, and the eight characters of traditional numerology should also be calculated by beginning of spring. In other words, beginning of spring is the beginning of a year. Beginning of spring on 20 16 is February 4th, which means that monkeys on 20 16 will enter your animal year on this day.
