What year is this year?

Year of the Rat. The year of the Rat 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). 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.

There is no dispute about this. Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the rules of dividing months and the number of days in a 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.

Rats have strong reproductive ability, good adaptability and high chances of survival, so the number of rats has increased very rapidly. They can mate all the year round, and the gestation period is about 265,438+0 days, with 6-8 females a year and 5-65,438+00 females at a time. The little mouse continues to produce. When a female mouse grows to 2 or 3 months, the number of mice in the family can increase by thousands. Very scary.
