When should the Spring Festival tell the time?

The Spring Festival should be twelve o'clock in the evening, which is just the right time. And eleven o'clock in the evening is the beginning of the child. I took down the specific things from the China Lunar New Year website. Youwei moderator means that eleven o'clock in the evening is the daily handover line of the dry calendar, while the solar terms are the one-year handover line of the dry calendar and the beginning of spring solar terms are the one-year handover line. On the first day of the first month, it starts at twelve o'clock in the evening, not counting the beginning of the child. The following is an excerpt:

China Lunar Calendar is a calendar that includes an uninterrupted date cycle and a mixed calendar of Yin and Yang: it is divided into an annual calendar (the main part uses the dates of branches and zodiac signs), a branched calendar and a branched calendar (four-column algorithm, only branches are used, not zodiac signs), and a mixed calendar of other algorithms.

1) In the lunar calendar, 60 12 zodiac years are adopted, and the first day of the first lunar month (called the first day of the lunar calendar in ancient times, now called the Spring Festival) is the New Year. That is to say, branches and zodiac signs. You can refer to historical books such as Legal Records.

2) In the calendar part of the lunar calendar, 60 calendars are used, including moon column, sun column and time column. The dividing point of the year column is the solar terms of beginning of spring in the lunar calendar, and the dividing point of the moon column is the solar terms of 12 headed by beginning of spring. It is the solar calendar of China and a part of the lunar calendar. It is mainly used for astrology. It only uses branches and branches, not the zodiac.

3) In the 72-day calendar of the lunar calendar, the 24 solar terms are divided into 72 days, each with a longitude of 5 degrees. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was considered as "superstition" by some mainstream calendar experts and was abolished.

4) For other ingredients, please refer to China Astronomical Yearbook and other books.

Therefore, the treatment between the solar terms in beginning of spring and the Lunar New Year (0: 00 on the first day of the first lunar month) is as follows:

If the solar terms in beginning of spring are before the Lunar New Year (0: 00 on the first day of the first lunar month) and the lunar calendar is 65438+ February of the previous year, then the zodiac is also the zodiac of the previous year. You can check the book calendar or desk calendar (it must be a book), but the annual column and the monthly column in the four columns are the annual branch and the first month branch of the New Year, and the zodiac is not used.

For example, if the beginning of spring solar terms of the lunar calendar are after the Lunar New Year (the first day of the first lunar month is 0: 00), then the lunar calendar is the first lunar month of the New Year, and the zodiac is also the zodiac of the New Year. However, if you count the annual column and the moon column in the four columns, they are still the main branches of the previous year and the 65438+ February of the previous year, but they do not use their corresponding zodiac signs.

In a word, because the lunar calendar is a mixed calendar of Yin and Yang, it will definitely cause confusion for people who don't understand the traditional calendar culture in China.

You just need to remember that the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar have different four-column algorithms, but both use 60. The lunar year takes the first day of the first month as the New Year, and there are 60 branches and 12 zodiac years, and sometimes there is a digital calendar year (such as 4694 after the lunar calendar 1996), and the zodiac only follows the calendar year; The annual column and the moon column of the four pillars of the lunar calendar (the part with branches and branches in the lunar calendar) are calculated according to the solar term time 12 headed by the beginning of spring of the lunar calendar (not 0: 00 on the boxing day), and only branches and branches are used, and the zodiac is not used, that is, the replacement of the zodiac is reserved for the New Year (the first day of the first lunar month).
