How old is the animal year?

The animal year, that is, the 60-year animal year, now refers to the year of lunar calendar 12, commonly known as the animal year, which means judging whether you are the animal year according to your animal sign.

The way to tell the age of an animal—

The time of the animal year is calculated from the first day of the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) to the last day of the twelfth lunar month (New Year's Eve). For example, the first day of the lunar calendar in 20 10 is February 14 of the Gregorian calendar, and the last day of the twelfth lunar month of that year is February 2 of 201year of the Gregorian calendar. If someone is a tiger and was born after February 20 14 10, then the calendar year from February 2, 20 10 to February 2, 2010 is his animal year.

In recent years, there is a saying on the Internet that the year of the zodiac begins in the beginning of spring, and the online calendar takes beginning of spring as the basis for the change of the zodiac. According to the old man, beginning of spring has existed since ancient times. If you have any objection, you can consult the ancient books yourself. Don't make it the first day of the first month just because some articles say that the first day of the first month is correct. China has had two parallel calendars since ancient times. )

Animal year culture-

China is used to recording people's birth year with the zodiac, which is repeated every twelve years. If the person born in the following year is a mouse, then the following year is the animal year of this person, that is, the zodiac sign when an individual is born is exactly the same as that of that year, and this year is called the animal year.

Zodiac is an important part of China traditional culture, which has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In China, every Year of the Animal, people are always given special treatment, such as being forced to "wear red underwear" and hang a "red rope". These people usually appear on their birthdays in the animal year, and often receive some grand birthday gifts for good luck.

Especially when the Spring Festival comes every year, people who are about to face their own animal year will pay attention. This is also one of the reasons why red and yellow ribbons, known as "auspicious belts" and "auspicious knots", sell well in the market. People in the animal year tie them around their waists and wrists.
