1988 How old are you this year?

At present, he is 33 years old (born on 1988 065438+ 10/-15 July 988).

1988 is a dragon, and 202 1 is 33 years old in real age and 32 years old in nominal age. The calculation method of real age is relatively simple, just 202 1 minus 1988, which is also calculated with the date of birth as the node; The nominal age is based on the lunar calendar, and it is one year old at birth, so it is one year older than the actual age.

The Year of the Loong may correspond to the Gregorian calendar year, for example:

1880, 1892, 1904,19,16, 1928, 1940,1950.

When the number of AD years is divided by 12, all the years with a remainder of 8 are the Year of the Loong.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 8.

For example, if the quotient of 20 12÷ 12 is 167 and the remainder is 8, then the year of 20 12 is the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, and the chronology of the trunk and branch is the chronology method of the trunk and branch calendar. 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 lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
