How to determine the zodiac in the almanac

The zodiac calendar represents the zodiac, also known as the zodiac. It is a dozen animals that match the zodiac in China, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. It is a traditional cultural figure in China. Although people can't determine the exact origin of the 12 zodiac, it has been used to this day because of its popularity, convenience and interest, and has become a valuable legacy with practical value left by the ancients.

So how are the zodiac signs divided?

The zodiac is not defined by the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 1, nor by the first day of the first lunar month, but by the beginning of spring in the 24 solar terms. I'm sure everyone was surprised, so was I at first! 65438+ 10 month 1 in Gregorian calendar is definitely not. Everyone in China knows that this is not true, but the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is different. Most people think that the first day of the first lunar month is the dividing line of the zodiac. Only a few people know that the zodiac is divided according to the beginning of spring in the 24 solar terms, such as some senior fortune tellers, Mr. Ri and some people who study the traditional culture of China. Of course, many older people may know it.

Let's talk about the reason why beginning of spring is used to divide the zodiac:

1, the China calendar divides the zodiac by beginning of spring. You can ask Du Niang if you don't believe me.

2. Professor Ye Chunsheng, vice chairman of China Folklore Society and a famous folklorist, and many other famous people who study China traditional folk culture believe that the zodiac should be based on beginning of spring.

The traditional Spring Festival refers to "beginning of spring", which has been circulated for thousands of years and formed an inseparable part of the traditional culture of China! The first day of the first month is the "New Year's Day", and the first year (19 12) stipulates that the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/0/is the "Spring Festival". Because of opposition, Yuan Shikai adopted transposition method and named the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10 1 as "New Year's Day", the first month.

4. 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.

5. China's zodiac calendar, as well as traditional folklore such as numerology and divination, all use "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac!

"Lunar Calendar" is the lunar calendar used in the Han Dynasty, with beginning of spring as the New Year's boundary, beginning of spring as the first of the 24 solar terms, and beginning of spring as the zodiac. There are 10 dry days and 12 earthly branches between liujia concentration areas, that is, Zichou Yin Mao and Tatsumi Shen You Xu Hai at noon. This is a bit complicated, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and porcupines. Zodiac is a year in China, which should be counted from that day in beginning of spring.

As mentioned earlier, traditional numerology, divination and other folk customs are based on beginning of spring. Although more than half of people forget this, they all think that the zodiac is divided according to the lunar calendar, so many people have different results. Of course, there are differences between schools. However, most profound people are pursuing more accurate calculation, which is based on our traditional "beginning of spring". Therefore, we can see that the division date of the zodiac in the world is actually correct because we adopted our traditional algorithm.

If you still don't understand, you can understand it in a very simple sentence: the lunar calendar was only used in the Han Dynasty, and heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is commonly used in numerology calculation, was thousands of years earlier than the Han Dynasty. So you need to know which algorithm is more accurate! In addition, the Zodiac 12 is a dozen animals that conform to the earthly branch of 12, so there is no doubt that beginning of spring is the boundary.

The above is related to the zodiac calendar, and it is about the sharing of the zodiac. I saw the zodiac corresponding to twelve o'clock, I hope this will help everyone!
