Chinese New Year

Chen Jianian is one of the first years of the lunar calendar, such as 1904, 1964 and 2024.

The so-called lunar calendar year, that is, trunks and branches are literally equivalent to trunks and branches. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between the sky and the trunk is called heavenly stems, and the connection between the ground and branches is called earthly branches. 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, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and twelve earthly branches, namely Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

The ancients put them together in the order of Jiazi, Ugly B and Bingyin without repetition. Sixty pairs from Jiazi to Guihai were called Jiazi. The ancient Chinese used these 60 pairs of branches to represent the serial numbers of year, month, day and time, and this is the chronological method of branches.

Chen Jianian's calculation method

The traditional calendar in China is a 60-year cycle, and the 4th1year of the 4 1 cycle is "Chen Jianian". In every AD year, the number of years over 60 is divided by 44, or the number of years is reduced by 3, and the remainder of division by 10 is 1, and the remainder of division by 12 is 5. The years from the first day of the first month of that year to New Year's Eve of the following year are "auspicious years".

According to the five elements of Yin and Yang, Chen Jia, the main branch, consists of Chen Jia, a heavenly branch, and Chen Chen, a earthly branch, in which Chen Chen, the earthly branch, represents the fifth dragon in the zodiac, Chen Jia, the heavenly branch, belongs to the wood of Yang, and Chen Chen, the earthy branch, belongs to the soil of Yang, which is a kind of wood soil. The trunk and branches are covered with lights. Tian Gan Ding Nian and Ren Nian, from Qingming to Long Summer, is Chen Jiayue.
