What kind of almanac can look at animal attributes?

The zodiac calendar represents the zodiac, also known as the zodiac, and it is the twelve animals that match the zodiac in China, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. It is a traditional cultural figure in China. Although people can't determine the exact origin of 12 zodiac, it has been used up to now because of its popularity, convenience and interest, and has become a valuable legacy with practical value left by the ancients.

So what is the division of the zodiac?

The zodiac is not defined by the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 1, nor by the first day of the first lunar month, but by the beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms. I'm sure everyone was surprised, so was I at first! 65438 in Gregorian calendar+1 in October is definitely not. Everyone in China knows this is not true, but the first day of the first lunar month is different. Most people think that the first day of the first lunar month is the dividing line of the zodiac. Only a few people know that the zodiac is divided according to the beginning of spring in the 24 solar terms, such as some senior fortune tellers, Mr. Ri and some people who study the traditional culture of China. Of course, many old people may know it.

Let's talk about the reason why beginning of spring is used to divide the zodiac:

1, the China calendar divides the zodiac according to beginning of spring. If you don't believe me, you can ask Du Niang.

2. Professor Ye Chunsheng, vice president of China Folklore Society and a famous folklorist, and many famous people who study China traditional folk culture think that the zodiac should be based on beginning of spring.

The traditional Spring Festival refers to "beginning of spring", which has been circulated for thousands of years and formed an inseparable part of the traditional culture of China! The first day of the first month is "New Year's Day", and the first year (19 12) stipulates that Gregorian calendar 65438+ October 1 is "Spring Festival". Because of opposition, Yuan Shikai adopted the transposition method and named the Gregorian calendar 65438+ October 1 as "New Year's Day", the first month.

4. The period from "beginning of spring" to "beginning of spring" is 365 days, while the short period from "Spring Festival" to "Spring Festival" is only 354 days, and the long period is 384 days.

5. China's zodiac calendar, as well as traditional numerology, divination and other folklore all use "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac!

"Lunar Calendar" is the lunar calendar used in the Han Dynasty, with beginning of spring as the new year's boundary, beginning of spring as the first solar term among the 24 solar terms, and beginning of spring as the zodiac. There are 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches in the Liujia concentration, that is, Zi Chou Yin Mao and Tatsumi Shen Youxu Hai at noon. This is a bit complicated, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, yinhu, maotu, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. Zodiac is a year in China, which should be counted from the date of beginning of spring.

As mentioned above, traditional numerology, divination and other folklore are based on beginning of spring. Although more than half of people have forgotten this, they all think that the zodiac is divided according to the lunar calendar, so many people have calculated different results. Of course, there are differences between schools. However, most profound people are pursuing more accurate calculation, which is based on our traditional "beginning of spring". Therefore, we can see that the date of the zodiac in the world is actually that we have adopted our traditional algorithm, so it is correct.

If you still don't quite understand, you can understand it in a very simple sentence: the lunar calendar began to be used in the Han Dynasty, and heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is commonly used in our numerology calculation, was thousands of years earlier than the Han Dynasty. So you should know which algorithm is more accurate! In addition, 12 Zodiac is a dozen animals that match 12 earthly branches, so there is no doubt that beginning of spring is the boundary.

The above is related to the zodiac calendar, and it is about the sharing of the zodiac. After reading the zodiac corresponding to twelve o'clock, I hope this will help everyone!
