What is a chicken?

Chong Ji (Ding You) is a saying in the Yellow Calendar, which means: Chong Ji means the Year of the Rabbit, which means Mao Mao, because the Mao Mao in the earthly branch collides with each other, while Chong Ji (Ding You) means that Tian Ke can rush, and Mao Mao Mao collides with each other, which means that Gui Mao Shaxi means not to go west or do things in that direction on this day.

Chongji (Ding You) is one of the main branches, and the order is 34th. The former is Bingshen, and the latter is the Reform Movement of 1898. On the five elements of yin and yang, the heavenly stems belong to the fire of yin, and the earthly branches belong to the gold of yin, which means that fire and gold are the same.

Calendars are not commonly used, but calendars are mostly used in numerology. Therefore, it is based on the solar term month, not the new moon, which is different from the calendar year based on the lunar year. In fact, the year of "Ganzhi", which has been widely circulated in recent years, began in beginning of spring that year. This is a numerology view, not a folk practice.

The 34th year of a cycle in China traditional calendar year is called "Ding You Year". In the following calendar year, if the number of years is divided by 60 and 37 or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder of division by 10 is 4, and the remainder of division by 12 is 10. The years from the first day of the first month of that year to the New Year's Eve of the following year were all "Ding Younian".

The lunar calendar is a dry calendar, and solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. Branches and branches have no solar terms, regardless of traditional habits or official almanac (see the perpetual calendar compiled by Purple Mountain Observatory of China Academy of Sciences for details).
