What is 62 years? How old are you this year?

1962 is a non-fiscal year and belongs to the tiger. As of 202 1 birthday, she was 59 years old. The calculation method of the Year of the Yin Tiger is as follows:

The Year of the Tiger is the year when advertising figures are divided by 12 and the remainder is 6.

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

For example: 20 10÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 6. Then, 20 10 is the year of the tiger.

Please note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. The Gregorian calendar begins with 65438+1 October1,while the dry calendar begins with the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, this day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Extended data:

The Year of the Tiger is calculated from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is the year of the dry branch and the year of the dry branch is the year method of the dry branch calendar. 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, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.
