What is the zodiac in 69?

Calculation method:

When the number of AD is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 1 is the year of the rooster.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient and the remainder is 1.

For example: 1969÷ 12= the quotient is 164, and the remainder is 1. So, 1969 is the Year of the Rooster.

The Year of the Rooster is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the calendar year of the trunk and branch, and the calendar year of the trunk and branch is the calendar year method of the trunk and branch. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

The lunar calendar only records the year with the trunk and branch, and the trunk and branch calendars are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the rules of dividing the month, the number of days in a year and so on.

Extended data:

The zodiac is an intuitive representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Xu (chicken).

With the development of history, it has gradually merged into the concept of folk belief, which is manifested in marriage, life, annual luck and so on. Each zodiac is rich in myths and legends, which forms a conceptual interpretation system and becomes an image philosophy in folk culture, such as the zodiac in marriage, the blessing in temple fairs, the year of birth and so on.

In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.
