What are 1998 1999 respectively?

A tiger? (Lunar New Year, Gregorian calendar1998 65438+1October 28th-1999 February 15)

The Year of the Tiger is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "tiger" in the zodiac corresponds to the yin in the twelve earthly branches. The year of the tiger is a cloudy year, and every twelve years is regarded as a cycle. For example, Gregorian calendar 20 10 basically corresponds to the year of the tiger, which is the year of Gengyin.

Corresponding years: 1902, 19 14, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962,/kloc-0.

Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the elephant trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, 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.

Judgment method—

The Year of the Tiger is the number of advertisements divided by 12, and the remainder is 6:

The column formula is: number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 6.

For example: 20 10÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 6. Then, 20 10 is the year of the tiger.

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