What year is the year of the dog?

The year of the dog is 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006,201.

The Year of the Dog is one of the twelve zodiac signs in China. It comes from the dog, the 1 1 animal in the zodiac. The number of years in AD is divided by 12, and the remainder is 2 years. Ranked as 1 1.

The year of the dog 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 trunk branch, which is the year method of the trunk 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.
