What year is the ancient prose in 2023?

2023 12 = 168, the remainder is 7, and the corresponding branch is "Mao". Therefore, 2023 is the year of "Guimao", and He Miaomiao is the year of the Rabbit.

The Year of the Rabbit is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "rabbit" in the zodiac corresponds to the cardinal number of the twelve earthly branches. The Year of the Rabbit is the base year, and every twelve years is a cycle. For example, the Gregorian calendar year 2023 corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit, that is, the year of Guimao.

The Year of the Rabbit is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is the year of the trunk and branch, and the year of the trunk and branch is the year 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.

Moon Rabbit: Ancient myths and legends say that there is a white rabbit on the moon, also called Moon Rabbit. The first volume of Wenhui quoted Han and Liu Xiang's Five Classics Tongyi: "What is a rabbit toad in the moon?" The moon, yin, toad, yang and rabbit are all bright, and yin is yang. "

The first volume of Literature and Art Collection was introduced to Jin. Fu Xian's "Quasi-Heaven Question": "What is in the moon? Jade rabbit is medicine. " Song's "Talking on the Surface": "Fools say that rabbits belong to the sun, so-called rabbits are in the middle of the month, and sunlight is in the middle of the month." ... the secular claim that there are rabbits in the middle of the month is absurd. "

In the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's fairy tales, the moon rabbit also refers to the white rabbit who rose to the moon palace with Chang 'e. There are many quotations in ancient poems, and the moon is also mentioned.
