What year is after the Year of the Rabbit?

After the Year of the Rabbit is the Year of the Loong.

Analysis:

The Year of the Rabbit, the Year of the Loong and so on. It is a special chronology in ancient China, which is what we usually call the lunar calendar.

Rat-Ugly Cow-Silver Lake-Hairy Rabbit-Chen Long-Fourth Uncle-Wuma-Weiyang-Shenhou-You You Chicken-Dog-Haizhu Cycle once every 0/2 years. After Mao Rabbit is Chen Long, so after the Year of the Rabbit is the Year of the Loong.

Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac, and it belongs to Chen in the twelve branches. It is also called "Chen Shi" at twelve o'clock every day and "Dragon City" from seven to nine in the morning. When the number of years in AD is divided by 12 and the remainder is 8, it is the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong's judgment method:

When the number of years in AD is divided by 12, all the years with a remainder of 8 are the Year of the Loong.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 8.

For example, the quotient of 20 12÷ 12 is 167, and the remainder is 8, so the year of 20 12 is the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong began to count from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, which is the chronology of the trunk and branch. The same is true of the official almanac (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 a year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.

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 the year into twelve months and twenty-four solar terms. Every 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 in a year.

Since ancient times, the trunk and branch calendars have been widely recognized by the government and people, and have been applied to astronomy, geomantic omen, numerology, choice and traditional Chinese medicine, and recorded in the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the yellow calendar).

Taking Qing Dynasty official history book Qing Shi Lu as an example, the official 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. This is the beginning of last spring. "

See also the ninety-fifth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions in Qing Dynasty: "beginning of spring on December 18th, Jiayin year, beginning of spring on December 19th, silver moon year". It is clearly pointed out here that the transition point of the dry calendar is in the year.
