Gui Mao's signature calligraphy works in 2008

All the calligraphy works in Guimao Year were inscribed in Guimao Year, such as a book in Guimao Year.

Calligraphy is divided into brush calligraphy and hard pen calligraphy. If it is brush calligraphy, the traditional format is generally used. Signature can have a deposit. Only the next paragraph is commonly used, and the format is: time (generally not Gregorian calendar)+(place)+author+(respect) book. Such as: "Gui Mao Chun Yue Gu Feng Tang so-and-so Zun Shu."

In traditional calligraphy, dates are marked by years, and months are marked by lunar calendar, not specific to a certain day. If it is hard-pen calligraphy and horizontal writing, it can be written in modern format: a book on a certain day in 2023. If it is vertical, it should also be in the traditional format.

Guimao is one of the main branches, ranking 40th. The former is Ren Yin and the latter is Chen Jia. On the five elements of Yin and Yang, the heavenly stems belong to the water of Yin, and the earthly branches belong to the wood of Yin, which is called aquatic wood.

Guimao year algorithm

The 40th year of a cycle in China's traditional calendar is called "Guimao Year". In the following calendar years, the number of years over 60 is divided by 43, or the number of years is reduced by 3, and the remainder of division by 10 is 0, and the remainder of division by 12 is 4. The years from the first day of the first month of that year to New Year's Eve of the following year were all "mourning years". This year must be the Year of the Rabbit. Like 1963, it is the year of Guimao.

Lunar calendar is a dry calendar, and solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. Branches and branches are not divided into solar terms, regardless of traditional habits or official calendars.
