I think everyone has a very deep impression on 2020, the Year of the Rat. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, we really lived at home for the Spring Festival in the Year of the Rat.
Since ancient times, our country has adopted the method of heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the time of every year and even every day. In this way, the wisdom of the ancients was demonstrated; But it is also different from the Gregorian calendar time in the world.
According to the time of the lunar calendar, the year 2020 can be divided into the following two stages:
The first stage: Jihai Year of the Pig is the last of the 12 zodiac animals. After the Year of the Pig, a new cycle of the zodiac begins.
In 2020, from the date of 1 month 1 on the Gregorian calendar to the date of 1 month 24, this period has always been the Year of the Pig in Jihai. Therefore, babies born in this period of time, their zodiac signs are still pigs.
Only when we have passed the Year of the Pig and entered the Year of the Rat, the baby born is really a mouse.
The second stage: the Year of the Rat of Gengzi From the moment the bell struck at 0: 00 on 1 25th, our lunar calendar officially entered a new year. From this moment on, it means that the Spring Festival, our most important festival, has arrived.
Compared with the pig babies born in early 2020, in the remaining days of 2020, the babies born in the zodiac are all rats.
In this year, there will be a leap April in the lunar calendar, so that people born in April can have two birthdays.
In addition, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in 2020 are also on the same day, so the date when the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar coincide is very memorable. After all, such a situation is not common.
So 2020 is a leap year, which includes the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat.
