Development history

There is no dispute that branches are used to mark the year in the lunar calendar, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve. However, the official calendar and the lunar calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the rules of dividing months and the number of days in a year.

The book "Ancient Calendar of China", a national key book publishing planning project in the 11th Five-Year Plan, puts forward that the calendar year of the main branch is a part of the calendar year of the main branch, starting from beginning of spring. It is also clearly pointed out that for more than two thousand years, the dry calendar and the lunar calendar (chronological order) "cooperate with each other and become independent systems?" !

The meaning is clear. The lunar calendar uses the date of the official branch, but the principle that the official branch calendar begins in beginning of spring cannot be changed. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people, including a few so-called experts, lacked calendar knowledge, so they gradually confused the dry calendar with the lunar calendar.

The trunk calendar is a calendar marked with 60 different heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is a unique solar calendar in China. It takes beginning of spring as the beginning of the year, and divides twelve months with twenty-four solar terms. Each month contains two solar terms, and there is no leap month. The dry calendar is related to the periodic movement of the earth around the sun, which can reflect the climate change throughout the year.

Since ancient times, the Ganzhi calendar has been widely known to the government and the people, and it has been applied in astronomy, geomantic omen, numerology, traditional Chinese medicine, etc., and it has also been recorded in the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

Take Qing Dynasty official history book Qing Shi Lu as an example. The official editing years in the book are divided into beginning of spring: for example, Zhonghua Book Company photocopied Book 17 of Qing Shi Lu, Book 9 of Qianlong Shi Lu, with 573 pages, beginning of spring, 20071February 22 (Geng Xu), and Record is recorded as: "Geng Xu. In the late 1990s, spring began.

See also the ninety-fifth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions in the Qing Dynasty: "beginning of spring on December 18th in Jiayin year and December 19th in Yuan Chunnian are the years of silver moon". Here, it clearly points out that the transition point of dry calendar is in year and month.
