The year of the ox is only 354 days. What is the reason?

According to many people's understanding, there are 365 days in a year, and some days are 366 days, but the year of the ox in 202 1 has only 354 days, and the year of the ox has only 23 solar terms. What's going on here? Why is the Year of the Ox shorter than usual? What caused this situation?

Because the zodiac signs are attached to the year of the trunk and branches, the Year of the Ox is calculated as the beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, and the year of the trunk and branches is also called the year of the trunk and branches. The ancient official calendar (that is, the yellow calendar) is like this. The lunar calendar only borrows the Gregorian calendar year, and its year ranges from the beginning of the month to New Year's Eve, which is indisputable. Compared with the dry calendar, the dry calendar is two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division of months, the days of a year and so on. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people, including a few so-called experts, have insufficient understanding of the calendar, so the two are often confused.

Ganzhi calendar is a unique calendar in China. There are 60 groups of heavenly stems and earthly branches to mark the year, month, day and time. Beginning of spring started in one year and is divided into twelve months and twenty-four solar terms. Each month has two solar terms, and there is no leap month. The dry calendar is related to the periodic movement of the earth around the sun, which can reflect the climate change throughout the year.

Since ancient times, Ganzhili has been well known to officials and people, and it has been used in astronomy, geomantic omen, numerology, selection and traditional Chinese medicine, and it has also been recorded in the official almanac of various dynasties. Take Qing Shi Lu, the official history of Qing Dynasty, as an example. This book takes beginning of spring as the dividing point between the cadre chronicle and the branch chronicle. For example, Zhonghua Book Company photocopied Gan Long (Geng Xu)' s History of Qing Dynasty (Volume 17) and History of Ganlong (Volume 9, page 573) on February 22, 2007. The history is as follows? Geng Xu. Spring began in his old age. ? See also the ninety-fifth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions in Qing Dynasty:? 1February 18, Jiayin, beginning of spring,1February 19, Yuan Chun, already in silver moon? , clearly pointed out the turning point of the dry Zhili calendar over the years.

More than 366/365 days a day are subject to the Gregorian calendar, one year 12 months, 366 days in boudoir, with an average of 365 days a year; The 354-day accounting method is a lunar accounting method. This year is the Lunar Year of the Ox, which begins on February 12, 20265438 and ends on October 3 12, 2022. An average year, a total of ***354 days.

Therefore, if it is a lunar year, it includes 12 lunar month, about 348-360 days; If it is a lunar leap year, it includes 13 lunar months, about 377-390 days. In the last lunar year, Gengzi had 384 days, and in the next lunar year, Renyin had 355 days.
