What year is 20 19?

Year of the Pig

The Year of the Pig in Jihai of the Lunar New Year begins on February 5th, 20 19 and ends on October 24th, 2020.

Calculation method

When the AD number is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 3 is the year of the pig.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 3.

For example: 2007÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 3. So 2007 is the year of the pig.

For example, 1935, 1947, 1959,197, 1983, 1995, 2007,20/. Once every twelve years. 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.

Extended data:

The bronze statues of the twelve animal heads are located on the 12 stone platform of the fan-shaped sprinkler in front of Haiyan Hall. On the south bank are rats, tigers, dragons, horses, monkeys and dogs; There are cows, rabbits, snakes, sheep, chickens and pigs on the north shore.

The portraits are all animal heads, with bronze heads and stone bodies connected by hollow water pipes. Every hour, the Chinese zodiac at that time spouted water from his mouth; At noon, twelve bronze statues spewed out at the same time. This set of animal heads is actually a giant hydraulic clock.

After the British and French allied forces burned the Yuanmingyuan, the bronze statue of the animal head was lost overseas. At an auction in Hong Kong in 2000, the heads of cows, tigers and monkeys appeared, and the heads of the twelve animals became the symbol of the lost overseas cultural relics in Yuanmingyuan.

Through various efforts, as of 20 14, seven animal heads, including cattle, monkeys, tigers, pigs, horses, rats and rabbits, have returned to China. It is said that the dragon head is in Taiwan Province Province, and the whereabouts of the four animal heads, namely, snake, chicken, dog and sheep, are still unknown.
