Judgment method

A year in which the number of AD is divided by 12 and the remainder is 2.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 2.

For example: 20 18

2018 ÷12 =168, leaving 2. The quotient is 168, and the remainder is 2. So 20 18 is the year of the dog.

The year of the dog before 20 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994 and 20 14 years later are 20 18 and 2030 respectively. 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.
