Recently, sharp-eyed people have discovered that our hometown has begun spring, but unfortunately, an unknown "expert" actually made a big statement at this time, saying that after the beginning of spring this year, he would have to follow the "dragon" to mix. Don't worry, we can't just follow it, we have to figure out what's going on.
First of all, let's understand that the beginning of spring is not a small solar term, it marks the official beginning of the whole spring. This is an important node between heaven and earth, and if we pass this hurdle, we can put it away in winter, and the door of spring will be officially opened for us. But at this time, a group of people were talking nonsense there, this year's Lichun is the "dragon" year? It's really an endless suspense.
In order to solve this dispute, we must first understand the traditional Chinese culture, the 12 zodiac signs, but the good things left by the ancestors. It is said that the zodiac is a representative of our birth year, and each zodiac sign has its own unique characteristics. Some people say that the switch of the zodiac is on the first day of the new year, and some people say that it is the beginning of spring. Which one exactly?
We found two celebrities, one said that after the beginning of spring, it is the new zodiac, and the other thought that the zodiac is calculated from the beginning of the first lunar month. How do you think this makes people believe this? But then again, whether it is the "dragon" year after the beginning of spring is really a bit of a scientific reason.
First of all, he said that at 16:27 on February 4, 2024, we ushered in the beginning of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, so this year after the beginning of the Spring is the "Dragon" year. This guy is very clear, accurate to the minute. I quite admire this kind of accurate calculation, which looks like it and says it right.
However, just as we were fascinated by this idea, another expert on astronomical education jumped out and disagreed. This benevolent brother said that whether it is an ordinary year or a leap year, the zodiac is calculated from the beginning of the first month of the lunar calendar, and the beginning of spring or New Year's Day cannot be regarded as the beginning of the zodiac. He's a director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, so we can't help but listen to the experts, right?
Having said that, when will you really enter the zodiac sign of the dragon? Don't worry, there are national standards for this. On May 12, 2017, the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a "Compilation and Promulgation of the Lunar Calendar" (GB T33661-2017), which is still somewhat authoritative. The naming method of the lunar year is stipulated, and the start and end days of the zodiac are calculated from the first day of the first month of the first month of each year to the Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year. To put it simply, the state stipulates that the zodiac is counted from the beginning of the first month! Isn't this the best way to solve the problem?
Looking at it this way, do you say that it will be a "dragon" after the beginning of spring, or it will be calculated from the beginning of the first month, and it seems that the problem will be solved. In this regard, the country has a unified statement, stop speculating on your own.
In general, this "Year of the Beginning of the Spring Dragon" controversy is really dazzling. Whether it is the "dragon" year after the beginning of spring, and who is right and wrong in this matter is really not a simple question. However, in this zodiac controversy, we have come to a conclusion: the country has standards, don't mess around. This standard was drafted in 2017 and is certified by an authoritative organization. Believe it or not, that's the last word.
Finally, don't think that this kind of problem is small, but it's actually quite big. Saying the wrong zodiac sign will mislead a large number of people. So, let's not be confused by these rhetoric, don't accidentally run away with the "dragon", and end up being laughed at by others and not knowing. Therefore, everyone must have a bottom line and be measured, that is, the beginning of spring will pass again, and the zodiac will not be guessed, there must be a rule, right?
