As I said before, this issue is mainly about the "Zodiac Year" starting from beginning of spring and the "Zodiac Year" starting from the first day of the first month. The zodiac should be accompanied by 24 solar terms, which is closely related to the calendar year in heavenly stems and earthly branches. After Liu Che, the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, promulgated the taichu calendar, the first year of the first month of the first month began in the whole country, and the question of when to count the zodiac appeared.
The days in beginning of spring are not fixed. It changes every year, either in the twelfth month or the first month, which is not easy to remember. The first day of the first month is eternal, and it is easy to save trouble. Let's start counting the zodiac from the first day of the first month. It can't be wrong. This is how two ecliptic algorithms appear.
When does spring begin? It's actually very easy to calculate. In beginning of spring, which is 45 days away from the winter solstice, the proverb says, "Spring beats six or nine heads". Moreover, when you arrive in Tomb-Sweeping Day, you can also infer that 60 days after beginning of spring is Tomb-Sweeping Day. As the saying goes, "the winter solstice lasts for 45 days in spring, plus 60 days until Qingming", which is what it means.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter are integrated, but they are not synchronized with the twelve turns of the solar year. If beginning of spring happens to be the first day of the first month, it is really rare. Therefore, there is an old saying that "it is hard to meet spring in a hundred years."
(four seasons)
Even if the four seasons start at the same time as December, it is impossible to reach the end point at the same time. That is to say, the four seasons can't completely coincide with December. Even in beginning of spring on the first day of the first month of this year, it can't be beginning of spring on the first day of the first month of next year. This is because there is a difference in the total number of days between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.
According to the change cycle of the moon around the earth, the lunar year is about 354 days. The solar year is determined by the cycle of the earth around the sun, which is about 365 days a year. In order to balance and synchronize the calendar, the difference of 1 1 day is realized by leap month on the lunar calendar.
The lunar calendar of a leap month year is 13 months, so the days of the 24 solar terms are not fixed in the lunar calendar, but in the solar calendar.
(Twenty-four solar terms)
Spring, summer, autumn and winter spring comes first. Among the six solar terms in spring, beginning of spring is ahead, and beginning of spring is one of the 24 solar terms, marking the arrival of spring and the beginning of four seasons and a year. China was an agricultural country in ancient times, based on agriculture. Farmers master the farming season according to the seasons, so they attach great importance to the 24 solar terms and are most concerned about "beginning of spring". There is a saying that the Spring Dynasty (beginning of spring Day) is greater than the Year Dynasty (the first day of the first month), because "a day's plan lies in the morning, and a year's plan lies in the spring".
In addition, the zodiac is closely related to beginning of spring. Although there is a custom of calculating the zodiac on the first day of the first lunar month, traditional families always adhere to the old principle of calculating the new zodiac in spring. Therefore, if you go to fortune telling, the fortune teller must ask about your birthday before going to class.
(fortune teller)
Fortune telling has always been called "real dragon" and "fake dragon".
When you tell your fortune according to the zodiac, you must first determine the zodiac. If this person was born at the end of the year or the beginning of the year, we should pay special attention to whether his birthday was before beginning of spring or after beginning of spring. If the year is the Year of the Loong and beginning of spring was born on the 24th and 25th of the twelfth lunar month, he thinks this person is a dragon, but he is already a snake in fortune telling.
When you die, this is special. Although it is still considered as a dragon, the Year of the Loong is a "fake dragon" and a "real snake" because the four seasons have passed. After the spring begins, it is year of the snake. Year of the snake has already started to rotate in spring, summer, autumn and winter. After beginning of spring, it is no longer winter in the Year of the Loong, but spring in year of the snake.

On the other hand, if the year is year of the snake, the ninth day of the first month of this year will be the beginning of spring. Someone was born in year of the snake on the eighth day of the first month of this year. Of course, this man is a snake. However, in numerology, this person's zodiac sign is a "fake snake" rather than a "real dragon", because the four seasons in the Year of the Loong are not over yet, and a year will not be completed until the ninth day of beginning of spring, the four seasons in year of the snake have not yet started, and it is still winter in the Year of the Loong.
One more question, if the birthday happens to be beginning of spring, how about the zodiac? It depends on the time of spring. Now the almanac was written in early spring. Before this time, the old year zodiac was born, and after this time, the new year zodiac was born. For example, in the twelfth lunar month of the Year of the Rooster, beginning of spring is at 0/2 o'clock, and chickens are born before 12: 59, and dogs are born at 00 o'clock.
(Zhu Yuanzhang, born in the Year of the Loong, Chen Wu, in 1328, is said to be a true son, which is different from the real dragon in the zodiac).
What if parents can't remember the date of birth? Generally speaking, look for a favorable animal sign. For example, if one year is the Year of the Sheep and beginning of spring gave birth to a girl, but I can't remember the exact time, then she belongs to the monkey, because as the saying goes, "a woman who belongs to the sheep has a bad life". If a boy is born, he can be a sheep, because it is no problem for a boy to be a sheep. Boys are better than monkeys.
How's it going? Is that clear? You can leave a message if you can't figure it out.

The above is about the birth of the dragon in a few months, and it is about the beginning of spring sharing. After reading 88, the dragon people are at their peak. I hope this can help everyone!
