The Year of the Pig is one of the twelve zodiac signs in the China calendar. The year of the pig in Jihai, the lunar calendar, starts on February 5, 20 19 and ends on October 24, 2020 10, which is also a normal year, with a total of 354 days.

Judgment method—

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.

Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the elephant trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. 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.
