The Year of the Pig is one of the twelve zodiac signs in the China calendar. The year of the pig in Jihai, the lunar calendar, starts on February 5, 20 19 and ends on October 24, 2020 10, which is also a normal year, with a total of 354 days.
Judgment method—
When the AD number is divided by 12, the year with the remainder of 3 is the year of the pig.
The formula is: the number of years in AD ÷ 12= a quotient, and the remainder is 3.
For example: 2007÷ 12= quotient 167, and the remainder is 3. So 2007 is the year of the pig.
Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the elephant trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. The Year of the Pig is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the calendar year of the trunk and branch, and the calendar year of the trunk and branch is the calendar year method of the trunk and branch. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).
Extended data:
Year of pig culture-
Since the history of the Chinese nation, pigs have had a high status from the beginning. When the thick burial culture prevailed in the Han Dynasty, pigs were almost necessary in the tombs of dignitaries, and the most typical ones were jade handles and pottery pigs. In the Tang Dynasty, trotters also represented the meaning of being the best in the world, but the meaning of trotters at that time was very different from that of big trotters now.
The word "home" refers to the word "home" with a treasure cover next to it, and the word "home" has not changed much since ancient times. The word "pig" represents a pig, which shows the connection between China pig and home. From domesticated wild boar to jade pig, it is a status symbol and has an inseparable relationship with our family. It can be seen that pigs are inseparable from the history of China, and it is difficult for an animal to run through the history of China from ancient times to the present.
Pigs rank last in the zodiac. The Fat Pig Arch is a Qing Ji paper-cut widely used by Han people and some ethnic minorities in northern China during the Spring Festival. Piglets are called "blessing pigs", which means wishing (pigs) happiness. They are also called good luck messengers. During festivals, especially in northern China, people put the "Fat Pig Arch" on doors or windows, hoping that the fat pig will enter the arch with gold and silver treasures and a bumper harvest, and wish to herald prosperity, longevity, abundant financial resources and abundant crops in the new year.
