Zodiac algorithm

China Gregorian calendar uses beginning of spring to determine the zodiac.

The "lunar calendar" is the lunar calendar that began to be used in the Han Dynasty. The New Year is bounded by beginning of spring, beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, and the zodiac is based on beginning of spring.

There are 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches in the Liujia concentration, that is, Zi Chou Yin Mao and Tatsumi Shen You Xu Hai Noon. This is a bit complicated, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, yinhu, maotu, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. The zodiac is unique in Liu Jianian, China, and it should be counted from the date of beginning of spring.

Traditional numerology and divination all take "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac! Including the folk diviners, who have always followed the traditional formula of the China Zodiac. Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, it cannot be determined by the current Spring Festival.

For convenience, some people decide the zodiac directly according to the Spring Festival, so this tradition is gradually forgotten by many people, and there are many controversies about the definition of the zodiac. According to the questionnaire, the number of people who use the tradition of setting the zodiac in beginning of spring and forget it is 50/50.

Of course, if you happen to be born on a "controversial" date, you can also decide according to your personal preference.

As to whether the zodiac starts from beginning of spring or the first day of the first month, there is a great controversy between folk and folk experts! The reasons for the two calculation methods are listed below for your reference.

Support "beginning of spring" as the reason for calculating the zodiac.

1. The traditional Spring Festival refers to "beginning of spring", which has been circulated for thousands of years and has become an inseparable part of China's traditional culture! The first day of the first month is New Year's Day. During the Republic of China (19 1 1), the Gregorian calendar 65438+ October 1 was designated as the "Spring Festival". Due to opposition from the people, Yuan Shikai adopted a compromise plan and named it Gregorian calendar 65438+ October 1.

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

3. Many folklore experts support using "beginning of spring" to calculate the zodiac.

Professor Ye Chunsheng, professor of Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University, doctoral supervisor and vice chairman of Chinese Folklore Society, believes that people can easily make a common sense mistake. The zodiac began in the beginning of spring, not the first day of the first lunar month. The date and hour of "beginning of spring" is accurately calculated by calendar scholars according to the rotation and revolution of the earth, which has accurate scientific basis.

Support "the first day of the first month" as the reason for calculating the zodiac.

1. In the second year of the Republic of China (19 12), it was stipulated in the form of a document that Spring Festival travel rush would start on the first day of the first month.

2. Some folklore experts support using "the first day of the first month" to calculate the zodiac.

Zhao Shu, chairman of Beijing Folk Association, believes that beginning of spring is the solar term used by the ancient people of China for agricultural production and service, but beginning of spring is not the starting point of a year. Beginning of spring may be at the beginning of the year, or at the end of the year, and there may even be no beginning of spring in some years; The Spring Festival is traditionally used to make a living, indicating the boundary between two years. Therefore, of course, the calculation of the year of birth should be based on the Lunar New Year.

Astronomical experts say that the reason why we adopt the international calendar method is that the calendar is more scientific and the days are calculated according to the revolution of the earth.
