How to write a brief history of the Year of the Tiger?

In ancient times, there were lions but no tigers. Because lions are cruel and have a bad reputation, the Jade Emperor in charge of seals wants to remove lions from the list, but he wants to add an animal to manage the mountains. At this time, the jade emperor thought of the tiger guards in front of the temple.

After the notoriety of the lion spread to the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor decided to remove the title of the lion's zodiac and add the Beastmaster Tiger. Since then, the tiger has become an animal symbol, while the lion has been exiled to the far south. Of course, the tiger was also descended by the guards in front of the Jade Emperor Temple to keep the lower world peaceful forever.

Judgment method of the year of the tiger

The Year of the Tiger is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 6. The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 6. For example: 20 10÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 6. Then, 20 10 is the year of the tiger.

The Year of the Tiger is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the year of the dry branch, which is the year method of the dry 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, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.
