What are the dog years?

20 18? 2006 1994

1982? 1970 1958

1946? 1934? 1922

In China culture, dogs belong to one of the 12 Zodiacs, ranking 1 1 among the 12 Zodiacs.

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 Year of the Dog is one of the twelve zodiac signs in China, and it is represented by "Xu" among the twelve branches of the earth. In a year, Xu Yue is September, which is a collection season. Shan Ye at this time, lonely and lonely, is a landscape before winter. The direction is west-northwest and belongs to the dry palace. In a day, it refers to 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm, that is, when the night spreads and the lights are brightly lit.

Extended data

Judgment method of the year of the dog:

A year in which the number of AD is divided by 12 and the remainder is 2.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 2.

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 before 20 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994 and 20 14 years later are 20 18 and 2030 respectively. 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.

Gregorian calendar starts from 65438+ 10/month 1, while lunar calendar starts from the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, that day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.
