生肖文化是我国六甲记年中特有的传统文化,与生肖相关的文化产业也相当丰富,它也是我们作为中国的年龄证明,每个中国人都有属于自己的生肖,然而关于十二生肖的算法,大家争论不休、各执一词,都没有明确的提出出生年月日与属相的关系。笔者总结其主要观点可分为三大学术立场,即生肖应该从公历的元旦(每年的1月1号)算起;生肖应该从农历的大年初一算起;生肖应该从二十四节气的第一个节气——立春算起。本文将对民间的这三种观点进行推理分析,力求给读者展示相对合理的观点。 Chinese zodiac culture is unique to the traditional Chinese culture in the 6th Anniversary, and the cultural industry related to Lunar New Year is also quite rich. It is also proof of our age as China that every Chinese has its own Chinese zodiac. However, the algorithm of the Chinese Zodiac , We all argue endlessly, all behaved, did not explicitly put forward the relationship between the date of birth and their relatives. The author concluded that its main point of view can be divided into three academic positions, that is, the Lunar New Year should start from the New Year’s Day on the Gregorian calendar (January 1 each year); Lunar New Year should start from the first day of the Lunar New Year; Lunar New Year should be from 24 solar term The first solar term - counting the beginning of spring. This article will make reasoning analysis of these three kinds of views of the people, trying to show readers a relatively reasonable point of view.
