What year is 20 12?
Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac, and it is associated with the zodiac. It is called "Chen Shi" at twelve o'clock one day-from seven to nine in the morning. When the year is divided by 12 and the remainder is 8, it is all the Year of the Loong.
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 is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, and the chronology of the trunk and branch is the chronology method of the trunk and 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.
