What years are the Year of the Loong?

A long year-

1880, 1892, 1904, 19 16, 1928, 1940, 1952, 65438.

Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac, which is related to the twelve earthly branches. It is called "Chen Shi" at 12 o'clock a day-from 7 am to 9 am. When the number of years in AD is divided by 12 and the remainder is 8, it is the Year of the Loong.

Extended data:

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.
