Is the zodiac based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar?

Question 1: Should the zodiac be based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? Traditional festivals and birthdays in China are based on the lunar calendar ~ ~ I was born in June 65438 +65438 10 +09, the lunar calendar is the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the lunar calendar still has 10 days or the year of the tiger ~ ~ and the landlord was obviously born after the Spring Festival, so he is wearing a rabbit ~ ~

Question 2: Is the zodiac based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? The zodiac is set according to the China lunar calendar. China does, but foreign countries don't.

But to calculate a child's zodiac sign, we should define it according to beginning of spring.

According to the China calendar, this genus is divided into beginning of spring. The division of the two zodiac signs is not based on the Gregorian calendar's 65438+ 10/,nor on the first day of the first lunar month, but on the beginning of spring solar terms in the twenty-four solar terms.

China Gregorian calendar uses beginning of spring to determine the zodiac. The "lunar calendar" is the lunar calendar that began to be used in the Han Dynasty. The New Year is bounded by beginning of spring, beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, and the zodiac is based on beginning of spring. Baidu encyclopedia? 》

Question 3: Is the zodiac based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? How to calculate the starting and ending time of the zodiac? This is a common sense problem that many people tend to ignore. Some people think that the zodiac was invented by ancient people in China. Of course, not according to the solar calendar, but according to the lunar calendar. The first day of the first month is the dividing point between the two zodiac signs. For example, after the first day of the first month of 2009, it was considered as a cow, and it was considered as a tiger on the first day of the first month of 20 10. In fact, this division is incorrect.

We must first understand the concept of the Chu Zodiac. The zodiac reflects a concept of time. The management time of each zodiac is average, that is, the time for the earth to make a circle around the sun, with a period of twelve years. When we understand that the Chu Zodiac is a concept of time, we will know why it is incorrect to set the dividing point of the two Zodiac at 0: 00 on the first day of the first month, because if we define it like that, a leap year will take care of one Zodiac 13 months, and the collocation of heavenly stems and earthly branches will be out of order.

The correct calculation of the time of the zodiac should be "from the moment you give it to beginning of spring, to the end before you give it to beginning of spring the next year." For example, children born after 0: 52 on February 4, 2009 (handed over to beginning of spring in 2009) and before 6: 42 on February 4, 20 10 (handed over to beginning of spring on 20 10) belong to cattle.

Therefore, the division of the zodiac is not based on the solar calendar, nor on the lunar calendar, but on festivals. Dividing by season is the most accurate, because every month's solar terms will be adjusted in time according to the position of the earth.

It is difficult to study the origin of the zodiac. For a long time, many people regard Lun Heng as the earliest document that records the zodiac. Lun Heng is the representative work of Wang Chong, a materialist thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "On the whole?" "Things" contains: "Yin, wood, its birds, tigers. Soil, its birds and dogs are also. ..... At noon, the horse also arrived. Son, mouse also. Unitary, chicken also. Hair, rabbits, too. ..... hey, tapir. No, so are sheep. Ugly, cattle also. ..... Third, snakes are also. Shen, Qi Tian also. "There are only eleven zodiac signs in the above quotation, and what is missing is the dragon. The book "Poisonous Words" also said: "Chen Weilong, Si is a snake, and Chen and Si are in the southeast. In this way, the zodiac is complete, and the subordinate relationship between the twelve earthly branches and the zodiac can be so complete.

Why do the zodiac need twelve?

"Zhou Li? Guan Chun? " Feng Shixiang wrote: "Ten palms are two years old, ten palms are in February, two palms are in the position of two stars, and twenty-eight palms are in the position of twenty-eight. Its narrative can distinguish the position of heaven. "The division of time is gradual, with twelve years, twelve months a year and twelve o'clock a day." Mandarin? "Yu Jin Si" contains: "The Yellow Emperor has twenty-five sons, and fourteen sons have surnames, which are twelve surnames." Even the wives and concubines of the son of heaven have the saying of "twelve women". Xun Shuang biography: "Therefore, the son of heaven married twelve women, and the number of days was also; There is an equal difference below the princes, and things have fallen. "

There are many folk legends about the zodiac, thus forming a zodiac culture with China characteristics.

Question 4: Is the zodiac based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? The zodiac is determined according to the "beginning of spring" in the solar terms of the lunar calendar. For example, children born before 20 10 "beginning of spring" are cows, and children born after 20 10 "beginning of spring" are tigers. Moreover, the time of "beginning of spring" should be accurate to the minute. What it belongs to has nothing to do with "New Year's Eve", which is a national celebration day stipulated by people to celebrate the beginning of a new year. It was changed during the Republic of China, but the celebration day was changed. It still depends on whether the time of birth is before or after "beginning of spring".

Question 5: Does the zodiac refer to the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar? However, our calendars are printed according to the solar calendar. In order to facilitate memory, but also in order to connect with the international community and promote the culture of the zodiac to the whole world, people gradually use the solar calendar to determine the zodiac. The real zodiac is calculated according to beginning of spring, not the Spring Festival.

Question 6: Does the zodiac look at the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? It's not a solar calendar or a lunar calendar, it's a solar term. The zodiac has changed since spring. Because the zodiac is the earthly branch, and the solar terms are legally determined by heavenly stems and earthly branches over the years. But now many people mistakenly think that it is calculated according to the lunar calendar. The post-80s generation can't tell the difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, let alone heavenly stems and earthly branches.

I looked it up. You are a cow, and you were born without beginning of spring. Even according to the lunar calendar, you are still a cow without the Spring Festival.

Question 7: 12 is the time of the zodiac calculated according to the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? 12 Zodiac is calculated according to the beginning of spring time of the lunar calendar in the year of each zodiac.

Beginning of spring was last year's Zodiac and beginning of spring is this year's Zodiac.

For example, at 20 141February 16 12: 09 in beginning of spring (Gregorian calendar 2065438+02: 09 on February 4, 2005),

Then those born on or before 20 141February 16 12: 08 are all horses.

People born on or after 20 14 years1February 16 days 12: 09 are sheep.

Look at the two constellations:

One,

Lunar calendar: 201June 4 16 12: 08,

Gregorian calendar: 2065438+February 4, 2005 12: 08.

Nominal age: this year 1 year.

Eight characters: one Jia.

Ugly at noon, empty at noon (Yin Mao

Second,

Lunar calendar: 20 14 years1February 16 12: 09.

Gregorian calendar: 2065438+February 4, 2005 12: 09.

Nominal age: this year 1 year.

Eight characters: ethyl pentoxifylline A.

Hai Yin's empty death before noon (Yin Mao)

Question 8: 12 is the zodiac determined according to the solar calendar or the lunar calendar? According to the popular saying, the positive solution is given. The zodiac is based on the lunar calendar (note that the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar are not the same concept. The lunar calendar is what we usually call the lunar calendar. The real name of the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar, which was calculated by the ancient people in China according to the combination of the lunar calendar and the agricultural time. The lunar calendar is a calendar created by the people to guide people's farming, plus 24 solar terms, which is more conducive to guiding agricultural production. But most of them confuse the two. After the Spring Festival, it's all a year's zodiac. There is no dispute about this. Controversial is the zodiac born years ago. In fact, there are rules, and the normal situation is based on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. However, if this year's beginning of spring (24 solar terms) falls before New Year's Eve, for example, beginning of spring falls on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, then people born on the 26th may even be the zodiac after the Spring Festival. If beginning of spring is after the Spring Festival, take the Spring Festival as the dividing line! !

The order of the zodiac is:

Rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.
