What is the zodiac in 70 years?

It belongs to the dog, that is, the year of the dog (Geng Xunian in the lunar calendar, 1970- 197 1 year, 65438+1October 26th).

The Year of the Dog is one of the twelve zodiac signs in China. Dogs are represented by Xu among the twelve branches. In a year, September is September, which is a gathering season. The corresponding years of the year of the dog are 1934, 1946, 1958 and 65438.

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 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.

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document that recorded the same Chinese zodiac as the modern one was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. ?

The zodiac is an intuitive representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Xu (chicken).

Each zodiac has rich legends, forming a conceptual interpretation system and becoming an image philosophy in folk culture, such as the zodiac in marriage, the blessing in temple fairs, the animal year and so on. In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.
