What is 65438+ on October 4th, 2023/KLOC-0?
The Year of the Tiger is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "tiger" in the zodiac corresponds to the yin in the twelve earthly branches. The year of the tiger is a cloudy year, and every twelve years is regarded as a cycle. For example, the Gregorian calendar in 2022 basically corresponds to the Year of the Tiger, which is the Year of Nonyin.
Sixty years of Jiazi, the heavenly stem is 65,438+00, the earthly branch is 65,438+02, and it is applied to Chensi at noon. From Jiazi, Picnic, Bingyin, Ding Mao ... Only 60 are arranged in one cycle.
This is a bit complicated and hard to remember, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent complex earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.
How to judge the zodiac:
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.
