What does 87 belong to?

1987 is the Chinese zodiac a rabbit? (Year of Ding Mao in the lunar calendar, Gregorian calendar1987 65438+1October 29th-1988 February 16)

Rabbit is the fourth animal in the China Zodiac, and its corresponding branch is Mao. China lunar calendar adopts the year of supporting cadres, which is also commonly known as the Year of the Rabbit.

Extended data:

Judgment method: the year of rabbit is divided by 12, and the remainder is 7.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 7.

For example: 20 1 1÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 7, then 20 1 1 is the year of the rabbit.

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.

The Year of the Rabbit 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).

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.
