I was born on the third day of the first lunar month: 1987, which is the Gregorian calendar: 1987 65438+ 10/0/. Is my zodiac a tiger or a rabbit?

Both arguments are controversial, but both are reasonable, depending on which one the landlord adopts himself.

To say that the zodiac is a tiger is to calculate the beginning of the new year according to the lunar new year, that is, the Spring Festival, and the first day of the New Year is the new year.

According to beginning of spring (when the sun reaches 3 15 degrees on February 4th or 5th in the solar calendar), some people say that the zodiac is a rabbit. The ancients said that beginning of spring is the first day of the 24 solar terms, the beginning of spring and the beginning of another cycle.

The following quotations come from Baidu's knowledge of the "Zodiac".

Support "beginning of spring" as the reason for calculating the zodiac.

1. The traditional Spring Festival refers to "beginning of spring", which has been circulated for thousands of years and formed an inseparable part of the traditional culture of China! The first day of the first month is "New Year's Day". In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), 65438+ 10/in Gregorian calendar was designated as "Spring Festival". Due to opposition from the people, Yuan Shikai adopted a transposition method and named the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10 1 as "New Year's Day".

2. The period from "beginning of spring" to "beginning of spring" is 365 days, while the short period from "Spring Festival travel rush" to "Spring Festival" is only 354 days, and the long period is 384 days.

3. China's zodiac calendar, as well as traditional folklore such as numerology and divination, all use "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac! 4. Many experts in folklore support using "beginning of spring" to calculate the zodiac.

Professor Ye Chunsheng, professor of Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University, doctoral supervisor and vice chairman of Chinese Folklore Society, believes that people can easily make a common sense mistake. The zodiac began in the beginning of spring, not the first day of the first lunar month. The date and hour of "beginning of spring" are accurately calculated by calendar scholars according to the rotation and revolution of the earth, which has accurate scientific basis.

Support "the first day of the first month" as a reason to calculate the zodiac.

1. In the second year of the Republic of China (19 13), it was stipulated in the form of a document that the Spring Festival would begin on the first day of the first month.

2. Folklore experts support the calculation of the zodiac with "the first day of the first month".

Zhao Shu, chairman of Beijing Folk Association, thinks that beginning of spring is a solar term, which was used by ancient China people to serve agricultural production, but beginning of spring is not the beginning of a year. Beginning of spring may be at the beginning of the year, or at the end of the year, and there may even be no beginning of spring in some years; The Spring Festival is traditionally used to make a living, indicating the boundary between two years. Therefore, of course, the calculation of the year of birth should be based on the Lunar New Year.
