The Year of the Tiger is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "tiger" in the zodiac corresponds to the yin in the twelve earthly branches. The year of the tiger is a cloudy year, and every twelve years is regarded as a cycle. For example, Gregorian calendar 20 10 basically corresponds to the year of the tiger, which is the year of Gengyin.
Sixty years of Jiazi, the heavenly stem is 65,438+00, the earthly branch is 65,438+02, and it is applied to Chensi at noon. From Jiazi, Picnic, Bingyin and Dingmao, just 60 rows complete a cycle.
This is a bit complicated and hard to remember, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent complex earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and porcupines.
