How are “Dragon Year, Dragon Moon, Dragon Sun, Dragon Hour” calculated?
The dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that does not actually exist, but it occupies a unique position in traditional Chinese culture and is endowed with sacred and auspicious meanings. What is the significance of the Year of the Dragon, the Dragon Moon, the Dragon Sun and the Dragon Hour? This is actually a saying formed following the transformation of stems, branches and zodiac in traditional Chinese watchmaking, which refers to the year Chen, month Chen? , on the day of Chen, the time of Chen and Chen corresponds to the dragon of the Chinese zodiac. This time is therefore what we call the Year of the Dragon, Dragon Moon, Dragon Sun, Dragon Hour.
The chronology of stems and branches is closely related to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. What is the chronology of the stems and branches? How are the heavenly stems and earthly branches matched?
Yang Fan, deputy director of the Ancient Astronomy Research Center of the Beijing Planetarium, said that the stem and branch chronology is established based on the ten celestial stems and twelve terrestrial branches. The ten heavenly stems are nails, Yi, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, the twelve earthly branches refer to Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen , You, Xu and Hai. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are paired in order. For example, the first ranked A among the heavenly stems and the first ranked Zi among the earthly branches are paired to form Jia Zi, the second ranked B among the heavenly stems and the second ranked. The Chou among the terrestrial branches are paired to form B. Laid, and so on. After the Gui of the 10th rank among the celestial branches is combined with the Toi of the 10th rank among the earthly branches to form Guiyou, the celestial stems start once more from A and are combined with the Xu of the 11th rank among the earthly branches to form Jiaxu. and the order continues. The smallest common multiple of 10 and 12 is 60, so when it comes to the sixtieth pair, it is the last Mistletoe of the celestial stem. It corresponds to the last Hai of the terrestrial branches to form. Guihai to complete a cycle. The next reincarnation starts once more from Jiazi.
The Year of the Dragon

The ancients also matched the 12 signs of the zodiac with the twelve earthly branches in sequence. The fifth ranked dragon corresponds to Chen, and there are five dragon years every 60 years.
How to quickly convert AD year to stem and branch year? Lai Dihui, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that the positive remainder obtained following subtracting 3 from the year AD and dividing it by 60. is the stem and branch number of This year. If the remainder is 1, then the stem and branch number of this year is 1. From the table of sixty stems and branches, we can know that the year is the year of Jiazi and so on, if the remainder is 2, then the remainder is 1; the year is the year of Yichou; if the remainder is 59, then this year is the year of Renxu. If the remainder is 0, the year is the year of Guihai.
Let’s take 2023 and 2024 as examples. Subtract 3 from 2023 and divide it by 60. The quotient can be calculated as 33 and the remainder is 40. This remainder is the number of stems and branches of 2023. You can check the number of the year from 2023. the table of sixty stems and branches. Guimao Year; 2024 minus 3 and divided by 60, the quotient can be calculated as 33, and the remainder is 41. This remainder is the number of stems and branches of 2024. From the table of sixty stems and branches. , it can be seen that the year is the year of Jiachen.

We may now be more accustomed to using numbers to represent months, but the ancients also associated the twelve earthly branches with the month of December. More than 2,000 years ago, it was determined that the month in which the winter solstice occurs is the submonth and the month in which the winter solstice occurs the following year is the submonth. month. Leap months are not counted.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the traditional Chinese lunar calendar has essentially been the Yin Zheng calendar, which means that the Yin month is considered the first month. Therefore, the child month in which the winter solstice occurs is the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, if the earthly branches of the month correspond to the signs of the zodiac, the third month of the year of the lunar calendar is the month Chen, which is the month of Chen. is the month of the Dragon.
Longri
In addition to counting days with numbers like 123, the ancient Chinese also used the method of counting days with stems and branches. Astronomers calculated the stems and branches of the winter solstice in advance, then arranged the calendar days of the following year according to the number. order of stems and branches, so that every 60 days there are 5 chen days, which are 5 dragon days.
