20 13 is the child born on February 4th a dragon or a snake? Has spring started?
China's zodiac calendar and numerology use "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac. Because the zodiac is homologous to the earthly branch, it cannot be decided by the Spring Festival.
The traditional New Year in China is not on the first day of the first month, but in beginning of spring. The critical point of entering a new day is not 12 in the morning.
In the traditional culture of China, one day and night is divided into twelve hours, each hour is equivalent to the present two hours, and the twelve hours are named after twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai; Each hour is divided into three parts, namely initial time, timing time and last time; Every morning 1 1 till midnight 1, and so on. It can be seen that the traditional dividing line of a new day in China is eleven o'clock at midnight, instead of twelve o'clock (zero point) used in the current Gregorian calendar.
The current "Lunar Calendar" in China is actually the "Lunar Calendar" that was used in the Han Dynasty, and it is based on the accurate calculation of the earth's rotation. The new year should be the beginning of spring. We are following the tradition that the first day of the first month is the New Year, which was stipulated in the form of a document during the Republic of China (19 12).
