When is the Year of the Loong?

The year 2000 is the year of Chen Geng in the lunar calendar, and it is also a leap year in the Year of the Loong. The year 2000 is the year of Chen Geng in loong, and the Spring Festival in China is on February 5th. The year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century.

2000 is the year, and the five elements of Geng Xu belong to gold, while Chen belongs to dragon, so being born in 2000 is a golden dragon, and the cycle of 60 years is 60 years, so 1940 is also a golden dragon.

The Year of the Loong's judgment method:

When the number of AD years is divided by 12, all the years with a remainder of 8 are the Year of the Loong.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 8.

For example, if the quotient of 20 12÷ 12 is 167 and the remainder is 8, then the year of 20 12 is the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, and the chronology of the trunk and branch is the chronology method of the trunk and branch calendar. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (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 each year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
