1, after the Year of the Rabbit is the Year of the Loong. The Year of the Rabbit, the Year of the Loong and so on. It is a special chronological method in ancient China, which is what we usually call the lunar calendar. In China, according to the Zodiac-Rat-Ugly Cow-Silver Tiger-Hairy Rabbit-Chen Long-Four Shoots-Five Horses-Weiyang-Shenhou-You Chicken-Dog-Haizhu, the Zodiac cycle is repeated every 12 years. After the cat and rabbit comes Chen Long, so after the Year of the Rabbit comes the Year of the Loong. Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac and belongs to Chen in the zodiac. At twelve o'clock one day, it is also called "Chen Shi", and from seven to nine o'clock in the morning, it is also called "Dragon and Lion". When the year is divided by 12 and the remainder is 8, it is all the Year of the Loong.

2. The selection and arrangement of the zodiac is based on the corresponding relationship between animal habits and time. In ancient times, the twelve hours of a day were recorded by the twelve branches, that is, the ugly son Yin Mao Tatsumi didn't confess at noon. At night 1 1 in the morning 1 is midnight, when people find that mice are the most active; 65438+ 0 am to 3 am, ugly, cows are ruminating; From 3: 00 to 5: 00, when Yin Shi called, the tiger began to wander around for food, the fiercest? At the same time, the earthly branches match the heavenly stems, which was used to indicate the order of the years in the old society. Therefore, the rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs corresponding to the twelve earthly branches naturally became the zodiac of that year.
