Is this the Year of the Golden Pig? Why do some people say that this year is the Year of the Native Pig?

According to Zhao Zhi Heng, director of Tianjin Astronomical Society, there is only one "Year of the Golden Pig" in 60 years. The last "Year of the Golden Pig" was in the year of Xinhai of 197 1, and the next "Year of the Golden Pig" was in the year of Xinhai of 20031. The coming year of the lunar "pig" is the year of Dinghai, and the people born in this year belong to the "native pig".

Zhao Zhi Heng said that in ancient China, a year was marked by branches. 12 species of animals were discovered in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the branches of 12 were marked one by one, which were called "Zodiac". The year of dry support is also related to the five elements.

Five planets in the sky: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. Ancient astronomers drew up a "65-line map", which made each year correspond to a planet with a period of 60 years. For example, "Jia Zi" and "E Chou" correspond to Venus, and people born in these two years belong to "Golden Mouse" and "Taurus".

In this way, the lunar calendar 197 1 is Xinhai, and the person born is a "golden pig"; In the 2007 Lunar New Year, the person born was a "local pig"; In the 20th/kloc-0th/9th year of the lunar calendar, the person born is a "wooden pig".
