What year is the year of the pig?
Judgment method—
When the AD number is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 3 is the year of the pig.
The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 3.
For example: 2007÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 3. So 2007 is the year of the pig.
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. The Year of the Pig is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the calendar year of the trunk and branch, and the calendar year of the trunk and branch is the calendar year method of the trunk and branch. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

Year of pig culture-
In the life of ordinary people, pigs are often regarded as a symbol of laziness. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, just the external impression that pigs give people after being domesticated. Pigs have nothing to do with laziness. Looking back at history, the Chinese nation has formed a personality culture around pigs-pig culture, which is worth studying.
Pigs are man's best friends. According to the Tang Dynasty's notebook novel "The Story of the Ruling and Opposition", people in Hongzhou in the Tang Dynasty raised pigs to get rich, which was called "Wujin". On the land of China, as early as the matriarchal clan commune period, domestic animals such as pigs and dogs have been raised. The pottery pigs unearthed from Hemudu Neolithic cultural site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province are very similar to the current domestic pigs, indicating that pigs had been domesticated at that time. Look at the word "home". Raising pigs under the house is home. It can be seen that pigs are the closest friends of human beings.
Pigs are the spokesmen of brave spirit. According to Records of Food in Hanshu, the ancients regarded pigs as the first of the six livestock, which on the one hand affirmed their significance and on the other hand affirmed their spirit. In fact, the ancients sometimes used pig teeth as decorations to show their bravery. The brave spirit of pigs is self-evident and worth learning.
