What year is 2009 in the zodiac?

The zodiac in 2009 is Niu Niu. In 2009, the year of ugliness, the zodiac is a cow, which coincides with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The Zodiac, also known as the Zodiac, is twelve kinds of animals in China that match the twelve earthly branches according to the year of birth, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

Extended data:

Because of Niu Geng, people in China are more and more attached to cows, such as simple and honest, hardworking and unrequited. Lu Xun expressed his ambition of "bowing down and being a willing ox". Cattle is the noblest sacrifice, which is used by the emperor to sacrifice the country and heaven and earth.

The zodiac is unique in Liu Jia, China, since the day of beginning of spring. Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, it can't be determined by the current Spring Festival. The period from beginning of spring to beginning of spring is 365 days, while the short period from Spring Festival travel rush to Spring Festival is only 354 days, and the long period is 384 days. China's yellow calendar takes "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac.

The zodiac is not only integrated into people's life in China as an ordinary creature, but its natural habits are endowed with many cultural meanings, from animals to divinity, and it is respected and worshipped. Only the combination of natural creatures and cultural gods can form a complete impression of China Zodiac animals.
