What year was the Year of the Loong in 2002?

The year 2024 is the Year of the Loong.

Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac and belongs to Chen in the zodiac. At twelve o'clock one day, it is also called "Chen Shi", and from seven to nine o'clock in the morning, it is also called "Dragon and Lion". When the year is divided by 12 and the remainder is 8, it is all the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, and the chronology of the trunk and branch is the chronology method of the trunk and 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 lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
