What is 1997?

1997 is a cow (the year of Ding Chou in the lunar calendar,1February 7, 997-19981October 27).

The corresponding calendar years are: 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 19 1, 1949, 1937.

Calculation method—

Cattle is one of the China 12 Zodiacs, ranking second.

The Year of the Ox is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 5.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 5.

For example: 1997÷ 12= quotient 166, and the remainder is 5. So, 1997 is the Year of the Ox.

Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the elephant trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. Gregorian calendar starts from 65438+ 10/month 1, while lunar calendar starts from the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, that day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Extended data:

The Year of the Ox is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main branch. 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.

Note: Chen Zi =- 1, Ye Zi = 1 1. Factor time and ugly time are the first two hours of every day, and the order should be put in front, so ugly time should be put in front: sub =- 1, ugly =0, yin = 1, gross =2… sub = 1 1. As a date dividing line, sub-hours are divided into two hours: early hour and late hour, early hour (0: 00-1: 00) and sub =- 1. Yezi (23: 00 -24: 00)，Zi = 1 1。 Among the eight characters, midnight (23: 00 -24: 00) still belongs to today and still works today.
