When did you start counting your year of birth? How did you work out your birth year?

Presumably, many netizens are not very clear about the algorithm of birth year, and there are three kinds of opinions circulating on the Internet. One is from the Spring Festival, the other is from the New Year's Day of the new calendar 1+0, and the third is from beginning of spring. So today, let's introduce you to when the birth year began to count, so that netizens know how to calculate their own birth year.

Let me briefly introduce what is the animal year. Everyone has his own zodiac attribute, and every year there is a corresponding zodiac. If your zodiac sign is exactly the same as this year's year, it's called the animal year. For example, the zodiac is a cow, and this year is 202 1, which is also the year of the ox, so 202 1 is their animal year for friends who are cows.

So when did the Year of the Beast begin? According to the old calendar, a year is divided into 24 solar terms, of which beginning of spring is the first. Beginning of spring also refers to the past of winter and the revival of everything, representing a new beginning of the year. So generally speaking, according to the previous custom, we will put the old almanac? The beginning of spring? As the beginning of a new year, the animal year is also counted from this time.

Although many people think that the Spring Festival or New Year's Day also means the beginning of a new year, what is it if you want to follow the zodiac of the old zodiac or the eight characters of traditional numerology? The beginning of spring? When this solar term begins, it will be a new year.
