Hong Kong's return to China is 1997, which zodiac is it?

The lunar calendar is: Ding Ugly Year, so it is: Ugly Cow.

The Year of the Ox is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main branch. 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.

Calculation formula of Year of the Ox

The Year of the Ox is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 5.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 5.

For example: 1997÷ 12= quotient 166, and the remainder is 5. So, 1997 is the Year of the Ox.

Note: The above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and China calendar are two different calendars. Gregorian calendar starts from 65438+ 10/month 1, while lunar calendar starts from the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, that day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.
