What is the 22-year-old zodiac?
Maotu, one of the 12 zodiac animals, is the fourth branch of the earth. Rabbit looks docile and lovely, innocent and lively, free and active, calm and obedient, natural and graceful, careful and meticulous. The glory of Shi Mao Yutu Moon has not yet retired.
The Year of the Rabbit is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is the year of the trunk and branch, and the year of the trunk and branch is the year of the trunk and branch. The same is true of the official almanac (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 a 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.
Extended data
Judgment method:
The Year of the Rabbit is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 7.
The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 7.
For example: 20 1 1÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 7, then 20 1 1 is the year of the rabbit.
Please note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. The Gregorian calendar begins with 65438+1 October1,while the dry calendar begins with the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, this day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.
Rabbit is the fourth of the 12 zodiac animals. It is associated with the twelve branches of the earth, so it is also called "rabbit time" at twelve o'clock in the day-from five to seven in the morning.
Speaking of rabbit, the Chinese zodiac, there is an interesting legend of "rabbit-cow race" circulating among the people.
According to legend, rabbits and cows are neighbors. They get along well and call each other brothers. Cows live by hard work, rabbits live by intelligence and ability, and they all live well.
One day, the rabbit who is good at long-distance running shows off in front of the cow: "I am the champion of long-distance running in the animal world, and no one can outrun me!" " "Cow modestly asked the rabbit for tips on long-distance running, but the rabbit proudly shook his head and said," The champion of long-distance running relies on innate quality, and learning can't be learned. "Besides, if you run lightly, you will never run fast. “
For the rabbit, the bull's heart is half cold, but it doesn't believe it. From then on, A Niu began to practice long-distance running. With an indomitable spirit, the cow finally became a pair of "iron feet". When the tail is up, the hooves are like the wind, and I don't know how tired I am for days and nights.
On the day when the Jade Emperor arranged the zodiac, according to the rules, whoever arrived first was allowed to become the zodiac. The cow and the rabbit agreed that the rooster would get up at the first crow and go directly to the Heavenly Palace to compete for the zodiac.
When the cock crowed for the first time, when the bull got up, the rabbit had run away alone. The rabbit ran for a long time and turned to hold it, but there was no sign of any animal. Rabbit thought, I got up the earliest and ran the fastest today, that is, I slept. The name of this zodiac is mine, too. So it fell asleep on the grass.
Although the cow lags behind, it is driven by tenacious endurance and iron hoof. While the rabbit was still sleeping, it ran to the heavenly palace first.
A rush of footsteps woke the rabbit. I opened my eyes and saw that it was a tiger running past like a gust of wind. Now the rabbit is in a hurry and rushes to catch up. Unfortunately, it is a step behind the tiger. Because there is an opportunistic mouse squatting between the two corners of the cow, the rabbit is only ranked fourth, and the top three are mouse, cow and tiger.
Although the rabbit became the zodiac, after all, he felt ashamed and lost to his sarcastic old cow. When he came back, he moved his family to a hole in the ground, and the rabbit would learn a lesson. Don't believe me, today you will have another "bull-rabbit race" or "tortoise-rabbit race", and the winner will definitely be the rabbit.
From 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning (that is, "Shi Mao"), the sun has not yet revealed its face, and the brilliance of the moon has not completely retired. The Jade Rabbit is the representative of the moon and the only animal in the myth of the Moon Palace, so Shi Mao matches the rabbit.
