Deciphering the Year of the Dragon Zodiac From the Four Dragons controversy to the dragon culture in

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-13

In traditional Chinese culture, the zodiac is calculated in the year of the lunar year, and the beginning of the lunar year is the beginning of spring. Therefore, people born after the beginning of spring should theoretically belong to a new zodiac. However, due to the differences between the lunar and Gregorian years, as well as the customs and habits of different regions, there is no one unified answer to this question. Some places believe that as long as a person is born after the beginning of spring in the lunar year, he should belong to the new zodiac; In some places, it is believed that only those born after the beginning of spring in the Gregorian calendar year are considered the new zodiac. This controversy is actually a different understanding and application of the calculation method of the zodiac.

In traditional Chinese culture, the zodiac is counted from the beginning of the first month of each year. However, with the development of society, people have different views on the calculation method of the genus. Some people believe that the zodiac signs should be counted from the beginning of spring every year, because the beginning of spring is the beginning of the lunar year; Others believe that the zodiac should be counted from the beginning of the Gregorian calendar year of each year, because the Gregorian calendar is the universal way of calculating time. This controversy is actually an in-depth understanding of the relationship between time and culture.

In addition to these controversies, there is also a lot of interesting things about the knowledge of dragons. For example, why do all dragon kings have the surname Ao? This is actually because the character "Ao" means "dragon" in ancient Chinese, so the dragon king is called the surname Ao. For example, which of the Chinese characters containing "dragon" has the most strokes? The answer is "龘", which means "the appearance of a dragon flying and leaping", and there are 64 paintings in total. This knowledge not only gives us a deeper understanding of dragons, but also gives us a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese culture.

The controversy and knowledge about dragons is actually an exploration and interpretation of traditional Chinese culture. Through these controversies and knowledge, we can see the profound influence and uniqueness of Chinese zodiac culture. Whether it is the controversy of whether the dragon is born after the beginning of spring, when the genus begins to count, or why the dragon king is surnamed Ao, which is the most strokes in the Chinese characters containing "dragon", etc., are all issues that we need to deepen and study in the process of understanding and inheriting traditional Chinese culture.

In Chinese culture, the dragon is a mysterious and sacred creature that is seen as a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. People with the dragon zodiac sign usually have a lot of personality, have a strong sense of self, like to pursue new things, are good at discovering the good in life, and are also very responsible and willing to work hard for their dreams. In the Year of the Dragon, people with the Dragon zodiac sign will experience many challenges and opportunities, and as long as they maintain a confident, positive attitude, and be good at thinking, planning, and relaxing themselves, they will be better able to cope with the various challenges and opportunities in life.
