A Brief Overview Of The Chinese Calendar

Article Category: Society

Author Name: James Tien

The Chinese calendar is unique. It has been around for several centuries and it uses both lunar and solar cycles to calibrate the passing of time. Like the more familiar Gregorian calendar used in the West, it has years that run twelve months in length. The dates however differ slightly and the New Year does not fall on the exact same day as it does in the Gregorian cycle.

The months correspond to the lunar phases of the moon. Each month consists of twenty-nine or thirty days. The months are adjusted according to regular intervals and the cycles change on a sixty year cycle.

There are twelve animals represented by it. They are the rat, tiger, ox, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, monkey, sheep, rooster, dog, and pig. These animals all represent different personality types and are used in horoscopes. They can help someone determine what is ahead of them in the way of relationships or careers or family issues. They are similar to astrological zodiac signs but instead of corresponding to a month long "sun sign" they can signify a year.

People also use it for other things such as determining an unborn child's gender. There are charts available that help you find the due date of your baby and then determine based on the date what gender he or she may be.

These predictions are based on the sun's longitude and on the present phase of the moon. The positioning of the sun and moon are found through scientific observation. This gives it added credence.

The Chinese have employed their calendar for thousands of years and it predates the Gregorian version by centuries. The current year is 4710. This is a dragon year, considered the luckiest year in the cycle. Persons born this year are expected to be strong and regal. The dragon sign is associated with positions of royalty as it symbolizes power and strength. Parents are proud to have children born under this powerful sign.

The Chinese calendar has enjoyed a long history. It has been around for thousands upon thousands of years. Although it has been replaced by the Gregorian calendar in the realm of commerce it remains popular in other areas nevertheless. People use it as an astrological guide and some celebrations are still based upon it as well. It is considered a guide for understanding people and events. It is now gaining popularity outside of China as more people discover it.
