What year is Wuyin?

Wuyin year is one of the dry years, and the calendar year is eight, such as 1998, 1938, 1878...60 years. The calculation method is, in each year, the number of years over 60 is divided by 18, or the number of years of 10 is divided by 8, and the number of years of 12 is divided by 6. All the years from beginning of spring to beginning of spring in the following year are "Wuyin years".

In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between heaven and stem is called heavenly stem, and the connection between earth and stem is called earthly branch. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or "dry branch" for short. There are ten heavenly stems, namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and the corresponding years are A 4 years … B 5 years … C 6 years … D 7 years … E 8 years … already 9 years … G 0 years … Xin 1 year … Ren 2 years … Dec 3 years …

Extended data:

Wuyin year is one of the sixty different years of the main branch, which is composed of ten main branches and twelve ground branches according to certain rules. Also known as 60 jiazi, it is the basic timing name in our astronomical calendar. It has a long history and occupies an important position in the traditional culture of China. Sixty jiazi is used to record the year, month, day and time. The corresponding Gregorian calendar years are: 1998, 1938. Wuyin Year belongs to the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac, ranking third.

The chronology of cadres and branches begins in beginning of spring with 24 solar terms, and it is the chronology method of the calendar of cadres and branches. 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, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused. Because there is a corresponding relationship between the zodiac and the earthly branches, the zodiac is also counted from beginning of spring.
