What is 200 1?
Judgment method:
When the number of AD years is divided by 12, all the years with a remainder of 8 are the Year of the Loong.
The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 8.
For example, if the quotient of 20 12÷ 12 is 167 and the remainder is 8, then the year of 20 12 is the Year of the Loong.
The Year of the Loong can be traced back to beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is a calendar year attached to the trunk and branch, and the trunk and branch calendar year is the calendar year method. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar). 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.
The two 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 lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
