What year is after the Year of the Tiger?

The year of the tiger is followed by the year of the rabbit.

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, Gregorian calendar 20 10 (every 12) corresponds to the Year of the Tiger, that is, the Year of Gengyin.

Judgment method

The Year of the Tiger is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 6.

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

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