Note that the dividing line between last year and next year is based on the intersection time of beginning of spring, not on the first day of the first month. For example, if someone was born at 22: 00 on February 4, 2000 in the solar calendar, because the lunar calendar was handed over to beginning of spring in 2000 at 20: 32 on February 4, 2000, his chronological column is 2000.
Moon column
Moon column, that is, the festival when a person is born, is represented by stem and branch. Note that the branches and branches of the month are not divided by the first day of each month in the lunar calendar, but by festivals. The festival before the handover is the festival of last month, and the festival after the handover is the festival of next month.
