What is the year of Jiazi in 2023?
The Year of the Rabbit is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "rabbit" in the zodiac corresponds to the cardinal number of the twelve earthly branches. The Year of the Rabbit is the base year, and every twelve years is a cycle. For example, the Gregorian calendar year 2023 corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit, that is, the year of Guimao, not the year of Jiazi.
In the traditional calendar of China, the 1 year is called "Jiazi Year". Calculation formula of Jiazi year corresponding to Gregorian calendar year: let the year be y, x, 60x+4=y, for example, x = 33,60 * 33+4 =1980+4 = 1984,1984 as Jiazi year.
Judgment method of the year of rabbit: the number of AD is divided by 12, and the year with the remainder of 7 is the year of rabbit. The column 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.
The essence of chronology of cadres and branches
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.
The trunk calendar is a calendar marked with 60 different heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is a unique solar calendar in China. It takes beginning of spring as the beginning of the year and divides the year into twelve months and twenty-four solar terms. Every month contains two solar terms, and there is no leap month. The dry calendar is related to the periodic movement of the earth around the sun, which can reflect the climate change in a year.
Since ancient times, the trunk and branch calendars have been widely recognized by the government and people, and have been applied to astronomy, geomantic omen, numerology, choice and traditional Chinese medicine, and recorded in the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the yellow calendar).
