What year is the year of the pig?

The year of the pig is 1935, 1947, 1959, 197 1, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2065.

When the number of AD years is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 3 is the year of the pig.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 3.

For example: 2007÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 3. So 2007 is the year of the pig.

Extended data:

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