What year is Xu Bing?

For example, in 2006, 1946, 1886...(60-year cycle).

Xu Bingnian is one of the year names in the Lunar New Year, such as 2006, 1946, 1886...(60-year cycle). Also known as the Year of the Dog. The 23rd year of a cycle in China traditional calendar year is called "Xu Bing Year".

In the following calendar years, if the number of years is divided by more than 60 and 26, or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder after division by 10 is 3, and the remainder after division by 12 is 1 1. All the years from the first day of the first month of that year to the New Year's Eve of the following year are "the Year of Xu Bing".

Lunar calendar is a dry calendar, and solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. Branches and branches are not divided into solar terms, regardless of traditional habits or official calendars (see the perpetual calendar compiled by Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences for details).

Calculation of chronology of trunk and branch;

From, the sky is connected with the trunk, and the ground is connected with the branch, which is called the earthly branch. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or tree trunk for short. There are ten dry days, namely, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and twelve branches, namely, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

The ancients put them together in the order of Jia Zi, Yi Ugly and Bing Yin ... that is, the sky turns six times and the earth turns five times, which is just a cycle.) Sixty pairs from Jia Zi to Gui Hai are called Jia Zi.

The ancient Chinese used these 60 pairs of branches to represent the serial numbers of years, months, days and hours, and this is the chronology of branches.
