What year is the year of the pig?

The corresponding years of pigs are:191year, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959,1. 203 1 year, 2043, 2055, 2067, 2079, 209 1 year, once every 12 years.

When the AD number is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 3 is the year of the pig.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 3.

For example: 2007÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 3. So 2007 is the year of the pig.

Extended data:

The Year of the Pig is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the calendar year of the trunk and branch, and the calendar year of the trunk and branch is the calendar year method of the trunk and branch. 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, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.
