What does virtual year mean?

Nominal age refers to a person's age from birth to the end of the lunar calendar, and nominal age refers to a person's actual age MINUS the end of the lunar calendar. So the imaginary year is usually younger than the actual age. For example, a person born in 1990 is already 3 1 year in 202 1 year, but if his birthday is celebrated before the end of 202 1 year in the lunar calendar, then his nominal age may be only 30 years old. Virtual year and virtual year are important concepts in China traditional culture, which often appear in birthday celebrations, fortune telling, weddings and other occasions.

Virtual Year occupies an important position in the traditional culture of China. Many people think that a wasted year is closely related to people's fate. According to traditional culture, people will be influenced by "Five Elements" and "heavenly stems and earthly branches" at birth, which will affect people's fate and fortune. Therefore, people often tell fortune and calculate all kinds of good and bad luck, and the imaginary year is an important calculation factor.

Virtual year also affects people's living habits and social etiquette. In traditional culture, people usually attach importance to age and the status of the elderly, so people often ask other people's ages and address each other according to their age. However, if there is a big difference between two people in nominal age or nominal age, their social etiquette may also be affected. For example, in business, young people may be considered inexperienced because they are too young; When visiting the elderly, the elderly may be disrespected by young people because they are too old.
