The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is called the "Five Beans Festival". So what is the zodiac sign of people born on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in 2018? Are there any traditional customs on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month? Is the lunar calendar the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? Shui Mo Xiansheng website has carefully compiled detailed information about the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018. Just come to Shui Mo Xiansheng website!What is the zodiac sign of the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in 2018?December 5, 2018 (Lunar calendar)January 10, 2019, Thursday, Capricorn (solar calendar) The Chinese lunar calendar uses the Beginning of Spring as the node for the alternation of the zodiac signs . That is to say, the Lunar Year of the Dog in 2018 will not end until the Beginning of Spring in 2019. Therefore, according to the old almanac, the Beginning of Spring in 2019 is exactly February 4, which is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. So a baby born before the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is of the dog sign, a baby born after the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is of the pig sign, and a baby born on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is naturally of the dog sign . What are the traditional customs on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month?The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is called the "Five Beans Festival". Every household in Lucheng eats "Five Beans Rice" , a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years. The so-called "five-bean rice" is rice cooked with five kinds of beans and millet. The legend of eating five-bean rice is related to commemorating King Ji.In order to commemorate Hou Ji, the ancestor of farming, the ancients built Ji Wang Temple in many places. For example, the Ji Wang Temple located in the center of Jishan County, Shanxi Province, is a temple dedicated to Hou Ji, the ancestor of agriculture in my country. The temple was originally located on Jiwang Mountain, 50 miles south of the county seat. According to legend, this was the place where Hou Ji taught people how to farm, and there have been grand temple fairs here in history. People eat five-bean rice on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month before the Chinese New Year to commemorate the god Hou Ji and welcome the coming of the new year. It also means that people will grow another year older and children will grow a little taller. As the local saying goes, "Eat five beans and you will grow three fingers taller. After Laba, you will grow a baza (a palm) taller." Is the lunar calendar the lunar calendar or the solar calendar?The lunar calendar is based on the cycle of the moon's phases (i.e. the synodic month). Because the ancients called the moon Taiyin, it is also called the lunar calendar, which is a pure lunar calendar. Our country uses the "Lunar calendar", which most people call the "lunar calendar", which is incorrect. The lunar calendar is not a pure lunar calendar, but a "lunar calendar".The lunar calendar is a combination of the lunar and solar calendars, also known as the Xia calendar . The lunar calendar is based on the new and full moons. The duration of the synodic month is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds (that is, 29.5366 days), so the lunar calendar also has a long month of 30 days and a short month of 29 days. However, it is not exactly the same as the pure lunar calendar, because the pure lunar calendar is arranged with alternating long and short months, while the long and short months in the lunar calendar are determined by calculation. The lunar calendar uses the time of the new and full moon as the average time of the calendar month . In this respect it is the same as the pure lunar calendar, but the lunar calendar uses the method of setting leap months and the twenty-four solar terms to make the average length of the calendar year equal to the tropical year. In this way, it has the elements of the solar calendar, so it is better than the pure lunar calendar. It is said that all the current lunar calendars were used by our ancestors as early as the Xia Dynasty (before the 17th century BC). So people also call it the Xia calendar. After liberation, it was still called the Xia calendar. After 1970, my country changed its name to the "Lunar calendar". As for the origin of the name "Lunar Calendar", it is probably because China has been an agricultural country since ancient times, so the calendar must serve agriculture. The first day of every lunar month is the "new moon" (when the moon is between the sun and the earth, with its dark half facing the earth). Sometimes there may be two long moons, or two short moons in succession. Since the synodic month is slightly longer than 29 and a half days, there are approximately 53 long months and 47 short months in every 100 calendar months in the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar basically has 12 months as a year, but the time of 12 synodic months is 354.3667 days, which is about 11 days different from the tropical year. This means that every three years there will be 33 extra days, or more than one month. In order to eliminate the extra days, one month is added every three years. This is the leap month in the lunar calendar. A year with a leap month is also called a leap year. So there are 13 months in a leap year in the lunar calendar. As for which month to add as a leap month, it is determined by the solar terms. |
