Different calendars should be clearly understood. The Phoenix City is full of energy. The year 2018 AD arrived amidst the global countdown and the colorful fireworks. With the new year and new atmosphere, people all hold new prospects, set new plans, move towards new dreams, and create new realms. To see off the old and welcome the new, in addition to congratulations to each other and blessings to the people by governments around the world, the biggest publicity should be shops, catering industries and entertainment venues, hoping to attract more customers and obtain a bumper profit harvest. In addition, what is most exaggerated is a group of poets, writers who like to dance and write. Many of them can't help but write and type to express their feelings and express their feelings for the New Year and festivals. They are posted on the poetry society website, posted on the Facebook page, or submitted to the newspaper site, and are published one after another. Let the vast number of netizens, numerous readers, and like-minded friends notice the approach of the New Year and festivals and not ignore these great days. During the two weeks before and after 2018, I read many poems and essays corresponding to the festivals, and I also sketched an article "Farewell to the Old and Welcome to the New Year" to join in the fun. While appreciating these excellent poems and essays, I found that some authors made mistakes in their writing. At this time, they even chanted "Send the chickens and welcome the dogs" and declared a prosperous new year. This misled the readers and confused some of the new generation who did not understand the lunar calendar. The luni-yang calendar is the old and new calendars, as well as the Chinese and foreign calendars. Many overseas Chinese compatriots are still accustomed to calling them the Tang calendar and the Western calendar. As we all know, the Chinese nation has its own calendar year, which means that at the end of the lunar calendar year, after the autumn harvest and winter storage, a grand celebration is held to welcome the New Year, which has always been called the "New Year" among the people; The "New Year" was renamed the Spring Festival. It's just that most of the writing is on the text, and every household in the folk still shouts "Celebrate the New Year, celebrate the New Year". It is called the "New Year" of the Spring Festival, and foreigners commonly call it Chinese New Year. In order to cooperate with the world and make it easier to communicate dates, the government of the Republic of China began to implement the solar calendar system after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, which became the national calendar; but among the people, they still attached great importance to the lunar calendar, so there is a saying that "the government follows the solar calendar, and the people follow the solar calendar. Celebrate the New Year." The old year refers to the old calendar year, which is different from the new calendar year, that is, the Tang calendar is different from the Western calendar. To be precise, the lunar calendar is different from the solar calendar, and the calculation methods of the Chinese and foreign calendars are different. One calendar is based on the moon's waxing and waning cycle and the four distinct seasons, and the other is based on the earth's orbit around the sun. The lunar calendar is very convenient for farmers to farm and is the best reference material. It is usually called the lunar calendar; the solar calendar has fixed dates every month, which is convenient for settling accounts. The 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar are even transferred to the solar calendar records, and they all have the same dates, with only one day difference every four years. The current solar calendar is based on the birth of Jesus as the epoch, so there are records of 2018 years. In fact, human society is more than 2,000 years old. It can be estimated that it is older and longer; however, everyone starts from belief in God, and religion is sacred. Praying devoutly has become a common practice after being passed down from generation to generation. In China, the Qing Dynasty once advocated taking Xuanyuan Huangdi as the era. After verification and calculation, the first year of the Republic of China was already the year 4609 of the Yellow Emperor, which is more than 2,000 years older than the AD used in the world. This shows how long the history of the human world is. The Nationalist Government subsequently did not continue to adopt the Yellow Emperor Era and changed it to the Republic of China Era. The descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties now do not know how many thousands of years China has experienced. They only know that Taiwan still inherits the Republic of China Era, and this year is 107 years. Mainland China is in line with the world and adopts the new calendar of 2018. As for the lunar calendar used by the people, it is still recorded in turn with the ten heavenly stems matched with the twelve earthly branches, with sixty sixty-year-old sixty-year cycles, and the ten heavenly stems are still used to represent the five elements. A and B belong to wood, Bing and Ding belong to fire, Wu and Ji belong to earth, and Geng and Xin belong to metal. Rengui belongs to water. The twelve zodiac animals are also used to record the zodiac signs of people, such as rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Everything is as before and has not changed at all. All fortune tellers and family elders use the zodiac as the calculation standard. As long as you tell the zodiac sign and count it with your fingers, you will be sure of your age. However, we must remember that this is a calculation based on the lunar calendar, that is, the lunar calendar, the Tang calendar, and the old calendar, and cannot be confused with the solar calendar of AD. As far as welcoming New Year's Day in 2018 is concerned, it is still November 15th in the year Dingyou in the lunar calendar, so it must not be regarded as "giving away chickens to welcome dogs." A friend had a baby in his family in mid-January. He read some poems by some writers and became full of doubts. He wanted to find out whether the zodiac sign was really a dog. Let me explain categorically: Dingyou’s zodiac sign is Rooster, and he will be prosperous until the Spring Festival of 1898, when he is a Dog. There is still more than a month left!
