How to say the year of the rat in the yellow calendar?

Recently, one of my colleagues is very confused. His baby will be born soon. It's past New Year's Day, but it's not Spring Festival yet. So is his child a mouse or a pig?

Is it a mouse or a pig? It depends on which day the child was born. If it was born after New Year's Day and before Spring Festival, it must belong to a pig. But if it was born after the Spring Festival, is it a pig? The correct answer is not necessarily.

The answer to the question when to start calculating the year of the rat is simple. Just open your phone's calendar. Nowadays, the mobile phone calendar is very powerful, including solar calendar, lunar calendar and dry calendar. When we arrived at the Spring Festival, it was impressively written that the Year of the Pig was Ding Chou Ding Yue Mao Day. Obviously, this day is not the year of the rat.

The real Year of the Rat begins on February 4th. When we turn on the mobile phone, on February 4, we will see the ugly day that has become the Year of the Rat. In addition to this sign, we can also find that this day is the beginning of spring in 24 solar terms.

Why did the year of the zodiac begin to be counted after beginning of spring?

This should start with the calendar we use now. The calendar we use now is called the Gregorian calendar, which is also the Gregorian calendar year, and it is a calendar derived from the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar in China begins with 19 12.

The lunar calendar we usually refer to is one of the traditional calendars and solar calendars in China, but it is wrong to call it the lunar calendar. Because the lunar calendar refers to the calendar with the moon cycle as the reference, what we are talking about now is the lunar calendar based on the change cycle of the moon phase, that is, the length of the new moon is a month, plus the "24 solar terms" component of the elephant calendar, which refers to the length of the year when the sun returns, so it should be the solar calendar.

From that day on, we generally think that it is correct from the beginning of the Lunar New Year. But the problem is that it was the first day of the lunar new year. Now we all know that the Spring Festival, that is, New Year's Day, is the day of the Lunar New Year. But for a long time in ancient times, the Spring Festival began in beginning of spring.

In ancient China, the average year 12 months and 354 days, leap year 13 months and 384 days were inconsistent with each other, which led to the absence of beginning of spring in some years and two beginning of spring in some years. In order to solve this problem. In the second year, the first day of the first month was designated as the Spring Festival, which has continued to this day.

But in fact, two years ago, China used beginning of spring as the beginning of the New Year for a long time. Therefore, it is more in line with the historical tradition to take beginning of spring as the beginning of the Zodiac Year, which is why both the perpetual calendar and the old yellow calendar we use now take beginning of spring as the beginning of the Zodiac Year. In this regard, many domestic folk experts have made detailed arguments.

Now we know that February 4, 2022 is the official start date of the Year of the Rat. With this knowledge, you can blow it with your friends and family when you go home for the New Year.

Today is the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Every new year, we will worry about what to give our children for the new year. Actually, it doesn't matter what gift to give. The key is to let children remember the taste of the year. Now everyone is spitting, and the Chinese New Year is getting more and more boring. Children celebrate the new year with mobile phones and iPad. Compared with childhood, we make new year's goods, quit cooking stoves, steam steamed buns, celebrate New Year's Eve, set off firecrackers, light lanterns and pay New Year's greetings from door to door. Nowadays, children have a little less taste of the New Year.

So I recommend a set of pop-up book of Happy China Year. This set of books adopts 3D stereoscopic images and multi-layer stereoscopic scenes, and the width is 180, which vividly presents a shocking and complete stereoscopic New Year picture. There are 43 interactive gadgets that children can flip, pull and play at will. Let's start with a few visual feasts:

Set off fireworks manually

Gorgeous fireworks compete to bloom, which means prosperity.

Hang lanterns manually.

Dragon dance renderings

More crucially, China's traditional Chinese New Year customs are skillfully displayed in the book through three-dimensional paintings:

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen god was sacrificed.

On the 25 th of the twelfth lunar month, push the mill to make tofu.

Twenty-nine couplets of the twelfth lunar month

New Year's Eve to eat dinner

On the first day of the first month, kowtow to the elderly and ask for lucky money.

Lantern on the fifteenth day of the first month

The original price of this set in pop-up book is 138 yuan. Now we only need 98 yuan to promote the New Year Festival. Attach a carp yue longmen stereo greeting card; Lucky sign for the year of the rat (you can listen to the story by scanning the code on your mobile phone); A DIY handmade lantern; A pair of traditional happy characters

Giving gifts with this set of books is much better than sending cigarettes, wine and local products. Nothing is better than giving children knowledge. Only knowledge is real wealth. The money for a fast food can make children enjoy a big meal, which is really worth it.

The Spring Festival is coming, and the express delivery will stop in about ten days. I suggest that you prepare decisively in advance, and it is of little significance to be late. Need friends to buy the following shopping cards!

The above is an almanac about the old Huang calendar, and it is about the sharing of almanac. After reading the almanac, I hope this will help everyone!
