What year is the Year of the Loong?

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.

Extended data:

Li Dongyang's "Huailu Tangji" recorded "Nine sons born of a dragon" earlier.

"Dragon born nine children don't become a dragon, each one has his own taste. A prison cow has good music all his life. Today, the beast carved on Hu Qin's head is his portrait. Life is easy to kill, and the longkou on the golden handle is its portrait; Laughing at the wind, I have had a close call in my life, and the animal in this temple corner is its portrait; Singing all my life is not old, it is the portrait of the beast button on this clock; Sister-in-law, sitting in his life, the lion in the Buddha's seat today is his portrait.

Overlord, a good burden in life, this monument beast is its portrait; Armadillo is a litigator all his life. Today, the lion on the prison door is his portrait. After a long time, he was a good writer all his life. On both sides of this monument is his portrait dragon text; Kissing is a good thing in my life. The head of the animal in this temple is its portrait. "Li Dongyang, about nine o'clock. Nine is actually a rough number. As far as I know, there are more than 10, such as gluttony and pepper map, which he didn't mention. Gluttony is a hungry bastard who will never get enough to eat. The map of pepper is an image on the knocker of the gate, but bullying and growth seem to be the same thing.

So, in Li Dongyang's eyes, the tombstone with the tortoise has become a dragon pattern again, and the beast with the tablet has actually taken over. Also, taunts and kisses are on the roof, why not fight? But in any case, these nine or a dozen princes are still mortal, each with its own advantages, temperament, shortcomings and responsibilities. He is more like a person than their parents.
