The problem of the zodiac?

The zodiac signs are Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken), Xu (dog) and Hai.

1, son (mouse)

The mouse is the first of the traditional Chinese zodiac in China. This is also a cultural custom. The years of the genus are: 2044, 2032, 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948.

In 2020, there will be a "leap April" in China Lunar Year of the Rat, with a total of 384 days. The year of the Rat 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).

2. Ugly (cow)

The Year of the Ox is a method to calculate the year in China calendar. All years when the remainder of 5 is divided by AD 12 are the Year of the Ox. Cattle is one of the China 12 Zodiacs, ranking second.

The corresponding Gregorian calendar years are: 1937, 1949, 196 1 year, 1973, 1985, 1997 and 2009. The Year of the Ox 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).

3. Yin (Tiger)

The Year of the Tiger is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "tiger" in the zodiac corresponds to the "yin" in the twelve earthly branches. The Year of the Tiger is a cloudy year, and every twelve years is regarded as a cycle. For example, Gregorian calendar 20 10 basically corresponds to the year of the tiger, which is the year of Gengyin.

The corresponding Gregorian calendar years are: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 20 10, 2022, 2034 and 2044. Please note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. The Gregorian calendar begins with 65438+1 October1,while the dry calendar begins with the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, this day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.
