What is the Chinese zodiac in 2008? What is the Chinese zodiac in 2008?

1, belonging to a rat (the year of the fifth year of the lunar calendar, February 7, 2008-June 25, 2009 in the solar calendar)

2. The year of the rat is 2044, 2032, 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 65 respectively.

3. Divide the number of AD by 12, and the year with the remainder of 4 is the year of the rat.

4. The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 4.

5. For example, 2008÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 4. Therefore, 2008 is the year of the rat.

6. Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar used in the world and the dry-branch calendar in China are two different calendars, and the Year of the Rat is counted from beginning of spring with 24 solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the dry-branch calendar, which is a calendar. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).
