Extended information:

Fictitious age is an important folk custom of the Chinese nation, which takes the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) as the dividing point, while one's birthday as the dividing point; The specific conversion methods are as follows: the first method: converting nominal age into full age: before my birthday in the solar calendar, full age = nominal age-2; On my birthday in the solar calendar and after, one year old = nominal age-1; Conversion from one year old to nominal age: before my birthday in solar calendar, nominal age = one year old+2; After my birthday in the solar calendar, nominal age = one year old +1. The second type: nominal age = current year (lunar calendar)-birth year (lunar calendar) +1.

The counting method of nominal age is: one year at birth, and one year later every Spring Festival (in ancient times, beginning of spring now). However, some people are two years older than their first birthday, and this algorithm is divided according to the first half and the second half of the year of birth. The first half of the year is only one year older than their first birthday, and the second half is two years older (solar or lunar calendar)
