What is the Year of the Ox?

The Gregorian calendar years corresponding to the Year of the Ox are: 190 1, 19 13, 1925, 1937, 1949,1. 1972 is not the year of the ox, but the year of the rat.

The Year of the Ox is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main 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.

Extended data:

In China culture, the cow is a symbol of hard work. In ancient times, cattle were used to pull plows to prepare soil. Later, people knew that cattle had great power and began to have various applications, from agriculture, transportation and even military. During the Warring States period, the State of Qi also used fire oxen, and during the Three Kingdoms period, the plank road transportation of Shu and Wei also used bulls.

Huns, Mongols and other nomadic peoples, besides herding horses, herding cattle is also quite common. Mongolian grassland is rich in Mongolian cattle, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is rich in farm cattle. Influenced by nomadic culture, it is more popular for Han people to eat beef and milk than for Jiangnan people.
