1. The Year of the Ox is the way to calculate the year in the Chinese calendar, and the year of the Common Era divided by 12 and the remainder is 5 years are the Year of the Ox. Approximate corresponding Gregorian calendar years such as: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033, 2045, etc.

2. The ox is one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs and ranks second.

3. The ox is a symbol of wealth and strength in Western culture, originating from ancient Egypt, according to the record of the Bible Exodus, the Israelites have not yet gotten rid of the custom of being exposed to Egypt because they have not been able to get rid of the custom of being exposed to Egypt from Egypt, so they used ** to create a golden calf and worship it as the image of Jehovah God.

4. The ox is a symbol of diligence in Chinese culture. In ancient times, there was an application of using oxen to pull ploughs to prepare the land, and later people knew that oxen had great strength, and began to have a variety of different applications, from farming, transportation and even military to widely used. The Qi State in the Warring States Period also used the Fire Ox Array, and the plank road transportation of Shu and Wei in the Three Kingdoms Period also used oxen.

The Year of the Ox has 354 days, specifically from February 12, 2021 to January 31, 2022.

The ancient Chinese dating method is called "Ganzhi Chronicle", which is established on the basis of "Ten Heavenly Stems" and "Twelve Earthly Branches". The "Ten Heavenly Stems" are composed of "A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and Dec", and the "Twelve Earthly Branches" are composed of "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai". The ancients matched a character in the heavenly stem with a character in the earthly branch, the heavenly stem is on the top, representing yang, and the earthly branch is below, representing yin.

The heavenly stem starts from "A", and the earthly branch starts from "Zi". The method is that Jiazi is the first year, Yichou is the second year, and Bingyin is the third year......Renxu is fifty-nine years, until the end of Guihai, one week is the whole sixty years, called "sixty jiazi". Then it starts from Jiazi again, and the cycle repeats.

If you don't know what year of the calendar is a certain year in the Gregorian calendar, in fact, as long as you know the number of years in the Common Era, you can mathematically calculate the stem and branch of the year. If you subtract 3 from the number of years and divide by 60, the positive remainder is the stem and branch number of that year. If the remainder is 1, the serial number of the stem branch of the year is 1, and it can be seen from the table of 60 stem branches that the year is the year of Jiazi; By analogy, if the remainder is 2, then the year is the year of B. If the remainder is 59, the year is the year of Nonxu.

If the remainder is 0, the year is the year of the Lunar New Year.

Due to the complexity of the calculation of the "Ganzhi Chronology", it is easy to be confused. In order to facilitate the memory and calculation of the year, people use twelve kinds of animals and the "twelve earthly branches" to match each other, and use one animal as the genus of the year every year, that is, everyone is familiar with the "rat, ugly cow, Yinhu, rabbit, Chenlong, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig". In this way, things are simplified, and people no longer call it "Gengzi Year" and "Xin Chou Year", but simply call it "Year of the Rat" and "Year of the Ox".

Taking 2021 as an example, 2021 minus 3 and then divided by 60, the quotient can be calculated as 33, and the remainder is 38, and this remainder is the serial number of the cadres and branches in 2021.

This year's Xin Chou is the Year of the Ox, the second of the 12 zodiac signs This year's lunar Year of the Ox is a common year, there is no leap month, there is no beginning of spring, it is a widow year. It is 30 days less than the previous Lunar Year of the Ox and the next Lunar Year of the Ox. As the old saying goes: the year of the ox and the horse is good for farming, and I wish this year a good harvest of good weather and abundant grains.

And Valentine's Day in the Year of the Ox happens to be the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the holiday is also very tight, the vacation time is less than other years, and the cycle is relatively short compared to other years, and many people will feel that this year will pass relatively quickly. If you have to wait until the next Year of the Ox, it will be 2033.

The Year of the Ox is the second year of the Chinese zodiac, and this year is the Year of the Ox. And this year's solar term is missing one solar term because there is a leap month that crowds out other days.

The ox is a sacred animal, the "head of the six animals". In ancient times, cattle were an indispensable item in some coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings, funerals and other activities. In the Shang Dynasty, cattle were used for sacrifice and divination, which is also recorded in oracle bone inscriptions.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cattle began to be used for farming. The emergence of ploughing cattle has brought the potential of cattle into play.

The 12 zodiac signs, also known as the zodiac, are 12 animals in China that match the 12 earthly branches with the year of birth of a person, including rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.

The zodiac signs are figurative representations of the twelve earthly branches, ieZi (Rat), Chou (Ox), Yin (Tiger), Mao (Rabbit), Chen (Dragon), Si (Snake), Wu (Horse), Wei (Sheep), Shen (Monkey), You (Chicken), 戌 (Dog), Hai (Pig).

With the development of history, it has gradually integrated into the folk belief concept of mutual reciprocity, which is manifested in marriage, life, New Year's fortune, etc., each zodiac has a rich legend, and thus forms a concept interpretation system, which has become an image philosophy in folk culture, such as the zodiac on the marriage, temple prayer, natal year, etc.

The Year of the Ox has only 354 days, starting on February 12, 2021 and ending on January 31, 2022, for a total of 354 days.

There is no leap month in the Year of the OxThe Year of the Ox begins on February 12 and ends on January 31, 2022, with no leap month.

There are only 23 solar terms in the Year of the Ox Unlike the 24 solar terms in other years, the Year of the Ox in 2021 has only 23 solar terms.

The Year of the Ox does not correspond to the twenty-second day of the lunar month in 2020, while the beginning of spring in 2022 is on February 4, corresponding to the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the Spring Festival has passed for three days, which meansThe Year of the Ox perfectly staggered the two beginning of spring, becoming a lunar year without the beginning of spring.

In the final analysis, the difference in the number of days in the lunar year is due to the calculation of the calendar.

The Gregorian calendar is a calendar based on the cycle of the earth's revolution around the sun, and there are days in a year;

The lunar calendar is a calendar based on the changes in the waxing and waning cycles of the moon, and there are days in a year.

In this way, it can be seen that there is a gap of more than ten days between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, so we have a lunisolar calendar, which is our lunar calendar, which involves leap months and non-leap months.

According to the lunisolar calendar, there is no leap month in a normal year, and this year's ugly year of the ox is a common year, and the previous year of the ox has a leap month, and the next year of the ox will also have a leap month. So this year's ugly Year of the Ox and the next Year of the Ox are 30 days apart.

"In an agrarian society, people rely on the sky to eat, so the ancients also have a certain experience in the changes in the weather and the yearOf course, these ** are not necessarily accurate, but there is a certain probability.

For example, in the "Earth Mother Sutra", there is such a sentence for next year's year: "Xin Chou Niu is the head, and the height is very pitiful" This sentence is from the hexagram of the "Earth Mother Sutra" for next year.

It means that Xin Chou Year isYear of the Ox,People are sad, people at the top are sad, ordinary people are pitiful.

According to the ** of the "Earth Mother Sutra", 2021 is not a particularly good year, it is not a particularly good year in terms of agriculture, but it is a disaster year for livestock. Therefore, there is a saying that "Xin Chou Niu is the leader, and the height is very pitiful".

Because China is divided into three calendars: lunar, solar and lunar calendars, the solar calendar is calculated based on the rotation of the earth, 365 days a year; The change of the lunar dark war moon is calculated as a cycle, 354 days in a year; The lunar calendar has 7 leap months every 19 years.

The ox is the second place of the zodiac, the year of the ox has 23 solar terms, this year's year of the ox is the year of the ugly, I hope everyone can be angry, safe and auspicious, the year of the ox to make a fortune, go lucky.

There is no leap month this year, so the Year of the Ox is a common year, because in ancient times, in order to correspond to the sexagenary branch and the zodiac, the "Stem Branch Chronology" was set up to prevent the year from being too short or too long, so there is a leap month! Then you can know that the Year of the Ox is 354 days, with one leap month missing.

2021 is the Year of the Ox. Whereas, the Year of the New Ox is a common year and there are no leap months. The ox is the second of the 12 zodiac signs.

The Year of the Ox is 30 days less than both the previous and next lunar Year of the Ox. There are only 23 solar terms in the Year of the Ox, and there is no beginning of spring. The Year of the Ox is a year of ploughing and harvesting.

I also know that this year is a year without spring, because the beginning of spring is before the first day of the new year, so there is no solar term in the lunar year of the ox. In addition, the babies born this year are all babies in the Year of the Golden Ox.
