What year is the Year of the Loong?

The year 2024 is the Year of the Loong.

Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac, and it belongs to Chen in the twelve branches. It is also called "Chen Shi" at twelve o'clock every day and "Dragon City" from seven to nine in the morning. The year of AD is divided by 12, and the year with the remainder of 8 is the Year of the Loong.

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