What constellation is 76?

1976 is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar, with a total of 366 days and 53 weeks. In the third year of the lunar calendar (the Year of the Loong), leap in August, a total of 384 days.

Lunar calendar 1976 Zodiac: Chen Long (in the year of March of the lunar calendar, the solar calendar 1976 65438+ 10/0/0/65438+0977 17).

Dragon is the fifth animal in the China Zodiac, and its corresponding branch is Chen. In the lunar calendar of China, the year of dry branch is adopted, which is commonly called the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong's judgment method:

When the number of AD years is divided by 12, all the years with a remainder of 8 are the Year of the Loong.

The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 8.

For example, if the quotient of 20 12÷ 12 is 167 and the remainder is 8, then the year of 20 12 is the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, and the chronology of the trunk and branch is the chronology method of the trunk and branch calendar. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (namely the imperial almanac). 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 each year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
