What year is the Year of the Tiger?

The Year of the Tiger has the following years: (only 17 years are listed)

The Year of the Tiger is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "tiger" in the zodiac corresponds to the "yin" in the twelve earthly branches. The Year of the Tiger is a cloudy year, and every twelve years is regarded as a cycle. For example, the Gregorian calendar year 20 10 (every 12) corresponds to the Year of the Tiger, that is, the Year of Gengyin.

Sixty years in Jiazi, the heavenly stems are 65,438+00, and the earthly branches are 65,438+02, which was used by Tatsumi at noon in the Year of the Tiger. Jia Zi, Ye Chou, Bing Yin, Ding Mao ... just 60 lines complete a cycle.

This is a bit complicated and difficult to remember, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent complex earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, yinhu, maotu, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

Judgment method

The Year of the Tiger is the year when advertising figures are divided by 12 and the remainder is 6.

The column formula is: number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 6.

For example: 20 10÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 6. Then, 20 10 is the year of the tiger.

The Year of the Tiger is calculated from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is the year of the dry branch and the year of the dry branch is the year method of the dry branch calendar. 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.
