Is the Zodiac based on beginning of spring or Spring Festival?

The zodiac is also called the zodiac. In China's calendar, there are twelve kinds of animals on duty in turn, so in our China year, rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs are all used in the calendar, so it should be regarded as a lunar calendar, not a solar calendar.

Is the zodiac calculated by the solar calendar or the lunar calendar?

Zodiac 12 is used by China people to record the year. The common method of chronology in China is that we choose 12 animals of the lunar calendar for the convenience of memory, and then combine them with heavenly stems and earthly branches to calculate. Therefore, China people, to be exact, all Han people have zodiac signs, because they can calculate their own year of birth. The Gregorian calendar is the year A.D., counting from the birth of Su Ye. Their chronology is very simple and clear. Use numbers. For example, in 200 AD, there was no zodiac in the solar calendar. Zodiac can only be counted according to the lunar calendar. You shouldn't have seen foreigners have zodiac signs, because they all adopt the chronological method. The reason why we are unified with them is that on the one hand, we should be in line with international standards, on the other hand, the chronology is more scientific, and the days are calculated according to the revolution of the earth. The lunar calendar in China is also called the monthly calendar.

Why does the zodiac start in beginning of spring?

According to the China calendar, this genus is divided into beginning of spring. The division of the two zodiac signs is not based on the Gregorian calendar's 65438+ 10/,nor on the first day of the first lunar month, but on the beginning of spring solar terms in the twenty-four solar terms.

For example, beginning of spring in 20 12 is on February 4th, so the Spring Festival in 20 12 is still the Year of the Rabbit, and it will not be the the Year of the Loong of the lunar calendar until February 4th!

China Gregorian calendar uses beginning of spring to determine the zodiac. Lunar calendar is the lunar calendar used in the Han Dynasty, with beginning of spring as the boundary of the New Year, beginning of spring as the first of the 24 solar terms, and beginning of spring as the standard of the zodiac. There are 10 dry days and 12 earthly branches between liujia concentration areas, that is, Zichou Yin Mao and Tatsumi Shen You Xu Hai at noon. This is a bit complicated, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and porcupines. The zodiac is unique in Liu Jianian, China, and it should be counted from beginning of spring.

Traditional numerology, divination and so on are all based on beginning of spring as the basis of zodiac calculation! Including the current folk fortune tellers, have always followed the traditional zodiac formula. Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, it can't be determined by the current Spring Festival. For convenience, some people decide the zodiac directly according to the Spring Festival, so the tradition is gradually forgotten by many people, and the definition of the zodiac is also controversial. According to the questionnaire, the number of people who use the tradition of setting the zodiac in beginning of spring and forget it is 50/50. Of course, if you happen to be born on the disputed date, you can also decide according to your personal preference.

As for whether the zodiac starts from beginning of spring or the first day of the first month, there is a great controversy among folk and folk experts! The reasons for the two calculation methods are listed below for your reference. Support beginning of spring as a reason to calculate the zodiac.

1. The traditional Spring Festival refers to the beginning of spring, which has been circulated for thousands of years and has become an inseparable part of China's traditional culture! The first day of the first month is New Year's Day. In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), the Gregorian calendar 1 was designated as the Spring Festival. Due to public opposition, Yuan Shikai adopted the transposition method, naming the Gregorian calendar 1+0 as New Year's Day and the first day of the first month as the Spring Festival.

2. It takes 365 days to travel from beginning of spring to beginning of spring, while the time from Spring Festival to Spring Festival is only 354 days short and 384 days long.

3. China's zodiac calendar, as well as traditional numerology, divination and other folklore, all take beginning of spring as the basis for calculating the zodiac!

4. Many folklore experts support the calculation of the zodiac in beginning of spring.

Professor Ye Chunsheng, vice chairman of Chinese Folklore Society, professor of Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University and a famous folklorist, thinks that the zodiac should be based on beginning of spring. He reminded the public that the zodiac began in the beginning of spring, not the first day of the first month, that is, the beginning of the Lunar New Year. People's zodiac should be based on the beginning of spring of the lunar calendar.
