Is the zodiac based on the lunar calendar or the lunar calendar?

The zodiac is determined according to the "beginning of spring" in the solar terms of the lunar calendar. For example, children born before 20 10 "beginning of spring" are cows, and children born after 20 10 "beginning of spring" are tigers.

How to judge the Year of the Rooster—

When the number of AD is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 1 is the year of the rooster.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient and the remainder is 1.

For example: 20 17÷ 12= the quotient is 168, and the remainder is 1. Then, 20 17 is the year of the rooster.

The Year of the Rooster 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). The lunar calendar only records the year with the trunk and branch, and the trunk and branch calendars are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the rules of dividing the month, the number of days in a year and so on.

Extended data:

Annual trunk and branch calculation:

1, annual dry formula: annual dry = annual unit -3 (applicable to any year in A.D., the unit is less than 3, borrow 10).

2. Annual expenditure formula: annual expenditure = (year +7)÷ 12 remainder (divisible by remainder 0, that is, remainder 12= ugly).

3. Simplify annual expenditure:

(two digits at the end of the year-1)- 12*N= annual branch (applicable to the 20th century, that is, 1900- 1999).

(year-end double digits +3)- 12*N= annual expenditure (applicable to 2 1 century, i.e. 2000-2099).

The Year of the Rooster 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).

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.
