Zodiac chart calculates the yellow calendar

The zodiac sign is based on the lunar calendar. For example, a person was born in Gregorian calendar 202 1 and 1. Although it was in Gregorian calendar year 202 1, it was the twelfth month of the lunar year of the rat. As the Spring Festival has not yet been celebrated, it is still the Year of the Rat. This man's zodiac is still a mouse, not a cow.

People in China usually have nominal age and real age when calculating their age. Full age refers to a person's actual age, while nominal age refers to adding one or two years to full age. What is the reason?

In fact, this way of calculating age is related to the ancient calendar in China. The calendar commonly used in ancient China is the lunar calendar, which is also called the summer calendar, the lunar calendar or the lunar calendar, as opposed to the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly used all over the world today. In the long-term agricultural production, the ancients used to use the lunar calendar to calculate agricultural time, and gradually got used to using the lunar calendar to calculate many things. The calculation of nominal age is an example. In ancient times, although there was no uniform standard for calculating the imaginary age, most people thought that a child should be recorded as one year old from birth, because October pregnancy was the embodiment of animism in the eyes of the ancients. In the future, every Lunar New Year (that is, the Spring Festival, not the Gregorian New Year) will increase by one year, so the nominal age is often greater than the full age. If you were born in the twelfth lunar month, you will be two years old right after the Spring Festival, so the nominal age is two years older than the full age. Therefore, we now summarize the calculation method of nominal age: based on the time of calculating age, if the calculation time is from Lunar New Year to birthday, nominal age = one year old +2 (that is, two years old); If the calculation time is from birthday to Lunar New Year, the nominal age = one year old+1 (that is, one year old). The calculation method of one year old is relatively simple, and it can be calculated according to the year, month and day of the Gregorian calendar. For example, we will keep a diary on August 8, 2009 to calculate the nominal age and one year old 198 1 of people born on June 8. Because the Lunar New Year in 2009 has not passed, this person's current nominal age should be 29, and his current one-year-old should be 28 (it will be 28 on June 8, 2009).
