Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Wang Kechao, director of science popularization, said that there are three dragon days in the dragon month of the Jiachen Year of the Dragon in 2024, so there will be three "dragon months, dragon days, and dragon hours in the year of the dragon", respectively on April 10, April 22 and May 4th from 7 to 9 p.m.

In other words, the last "Year of the Dragon, Moon of the Dragon, Sun of the Dragon, and Time of the Dragon" this year is from 7:00 to 9:00 on May 4th.

Hyperion, a traditional culture research enthusiast, said in an interview with the Beijing News, "It is actually easier to see the Chen year, the month, the sun, and the sun, but the Jia Chen is more special because the Jia Chen cycle occurs every 60 years. The Chen year is The moon, day, hour, and hour also represent a change for the better. "Details>>>

"Dragon year, Dragon month, Dragon day, Dragon hour", how are they calculated?

The dragon is the only one among the twelve zodiac signs that is not. Animals that actually exist, but occupy a unique position in traditional Chinese culture, are endowed with sacred and auspicious meanings. What is the meaning of the Dragon Year, Dragon Moon, Dragon Sun, and Dragon Hour? This is actually a saying formed after the transformation of the stems and branches and the zodiac in traditional Chinese timekeeping, which refers to the Chen year, Chen month, Chen day, Chen hour, and Chen matches the dragon in the Chinese zodiac. So this moment is the so-called Year of the Dragon, Dragon Moon, Dragon Sun, Dragon Hour.

The chronology of the 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 chronology of the stems and branches is established on the basis of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches. The ten heavenly stems are nails, Yi, C, D, E, E, Ji, Geng, Xin and 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 matched in order. For example, the first A among the Heavenly Stems and the first Z among the Earthly Branches are paired to form Jia. The second-ranked B among the Heavenly Stems and the second-ranked Chou among the Earthly Branches are paired to form B. Ugly, and so on. After the 10th-ranked Gui among the heavenly stems is paired with the 10th-ranked You among the earthly branches to form Guiyou, the heavenly stems start again from A and are matched with the 11th-ranked Xu among the earthly branches to form Jiaxu, and the order continues. The least common multiple of 10 and 12 It is 60, so when it reaches the sixtieth pairing, it happens to be the last Gui of the heavenly stem. It matches with the last Hai of the earthly branches to form Guihai to complete a cycle. The next reincarnation will start again from Jiazi.

Year of the Dragon

Yang Fan, deputy director of the Ancient Astronomy Research Center of the Beijing Planetarium, said that the stem and branch calendar corresponds to each year and the stems and branches. The so-called sixty-one years means that one stem and branch reincarnate in 60 years. The ancients also ranked the 12 zodiac signs in sequence with the twelve When the earthly branches correspond to each other, the dragon ranked fifth corresponds to Chen, and there are five years of the dragon every 60 years.

How to quickly convert the AD year into the 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 by subtracting 3 from the AD year and then dividing it by 60 is the stem and branch number of that year. If the remainder is 1, then the stem and branch number of that year is 1. From the sixty stems and branches table, we can know that the year is the year of Jiazi; and so on, if the remainder is 2, then the year is the year of Yichou; if the remainder is 59, Then that year is the year of Renxu. If the remainder is 0, the year is the year of Guihai.

Take the years 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 stem and branch serial number of 2023. You can check the year from the sixty stems and branches table. It is the year of Guimao; subtract 3 from 2024 and divide it by 60, the quotient can be calculated as 33, and the remainder is 41. This remainder is the number of the stems and branches of 2024. From the sixty stems and branches table, you can find that the year is the year of Jiachen.

Dragon Moon

Dragon Moon In the traditional Chinese calendar, a year is also divided into 12 months, but this month is divided based on the synodic moon as the standard. We may now be more familiar with using numbers to represent months, but the ancients also associated the twelve earthly branches with December. More than 2,000 years ago, it was determined that the month where the winter solstice is located is the sub-month, and the month where the winter solstice is located in the next year is the sub-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 regarded as the first month. Therefore, the child month where the winter solstice is located is the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, if the earthly branches of the month match the zodiac signs, the third month of the year in the lunar calendar is the Chen month, which is the Dragon month.

In addition to using numbers like 123 to count days, 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, and then arranged the calendar days of the following year according to the order of the stems and branches, so Every 60 days there are 5 chen days, which are 5 dragon days.

About the dragon hour, the ancients also divided the day and night into 12 hours, which corresponded to the twelve earthly branches. They designated the current 23:00 to 1:00 as the Zi hour, and the Chen hour as 7:00-9:00 in the morning. 00, expressed in the order of the zodiac, Chen hour is Dragon hour.
