It depends on the lunar calendar or solar terms. My wife was born on February 7th. 1988. She was born on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. What does she belong to? Thank you for your answers. The correct division of genera is the solar term in beginning of spring that day. The Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month) is just a popular algorithm among the people today.

There were actually two calendars in ancient China. One is the "lunar calendar", which is called the lunar calendar or lunar calendar. The other is based on the movement of the sun, which is the ancient "solar calendar". The 24 solar terms in China are determined according to the movement of the sun, beginning of spring is the first day of the New Year in the ancient solar calendar, and the zodiac (called the twelve earthly branches in ancient times) is also determined accordingly, which has nothing to do with the lunar calendar.

In addition, in a year, in addition to the zodiac (earthly branch), there are also corresponding zodiac (earthly branch) in the month, day and hour (it should be noted that this "month" is also defined according to the 24 solar terms, not the lunar month). For example, beginning of spring is called (Tiger) when he is frightened, (Rabbit) when he wakes up to Qingming, (Rat) when he is called from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, and (Cow) when he is called from one o'clock to three o'clock in the morning.

So everyone actually has four zodiac signs: year, month, day and hour!

Year, month, day and time (Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao ...) will have corresponding heavenly stems to match the calendar (* * * Ten heavenly stems: A, B, C, D ...), so that everyone will have eight characters, which is the origin of ancient "birth".

Also, we should know that today's Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month) was called "New Year's Day" before the Republic of China. It was Yuan Shikai who changed "New Year's Day" to Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 day, and renamed the first day of the first lunar month as "Spring Festival", while the ancient Spring Festival specifically referred to that day in beginning of spring, and beginning of spring and Spring Festival were the same day before the Republic of China.

Therefore, after the Republic of China, China people inherited the Gregorian calendar as the calendar year of the Republic of China, including major changes in the Spring Festival and New Year's Day. In the past hundred years, the algorithm of the zodiac has been completely confused. Today, perhaps only the older generation and those who know birthdays know the correct algorithm of the zodiac.

If beginning of spring was born on that day, the first step is to find out on the calendar when the solar terms were paid on the day when beginning of spring was born. The second step is to know your birthplace and exact time of birth. The above two items can be converted into the real solar time when you were born on some websites (originally only Beijing time); The third step is to compare it twice. The year before the solar term is the Chinese zodiac, and vice versa. ..... so complicated!

As a China person who knows something about this, he has an obligation to help the post-80s, post-90s and even post-00s. I hope everyone will forward, forward and forward the above content to answer everyone who comes to Baidu or other websites to ask similar questions. I hope that friends born around the Spring Festival can correctly calculate their birth year.
