Amusing: Calculate the Chinese Caps of a Country/Location
When I was a child my mother always announced my Chinese birthday when it arrived. I was always thrilled! I never knew when it was going to happen. That was the fun of it. I knew that it was always close to my western birthdate. It never made sense and there was no pattern. I never asked her how she figured it out. Is there a way to calculate my children's Chinese birthdays. Maybe there is a computer program that I could write to calculate it. Could you give me some hints or advice? Thank-you very much. You have a great site.

Chinese Caps: Chinese Age, Chinese Birthday Date, Calculation of your Chinese AgeThe Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse count for one year more however your month of birth. A baby born on December 24, 2010, for example, will be 2 years old on January 1, 2011, because it will have traversed 2 years 2010 and 2011, whereas its Gregorian age is one week. In the final analysis, you will always have a year even 2 years more in Chinese age in Chinese lunar calendar than your Gregorian age in solar calendar. Year in the Chinese Lunar CalendarA Chinese Year (Suì, 岁) is composed of 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and sub-divised in 24 Chinese Feasts, equivalent to the 24 Chinese Solar Terms of a Chinese Year. The major solar terms Zhōngqì (中气) are given in boldface, while the minor solar terms Jiéqì (节气) are given in lightface.As these solar terms are only events of the Sun, no lunar event related feasts, such as Chinese New Year which is the day of the first new Moon (day 1 of month 1 of a Chinese lunar year), Dragon Feast (day 5 of month 5 of a Chinese lunar year), are in the list. Since the creation of the People's Republic of China on October 1st 1949 by the President MAO Zedong (Mao Tsetong), China has officially adopted the Gregorian calendar, or the solar calendar for the administration purpose. Nevertheless, the Chinese People keep their traditional feasts fixed on the dates of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. These feasts are very vivid today such as the Spring Festivities, symbol of the arrival of the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival takes place always on the first day of the first month on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. But the date on the solar calendar varies with the year. Il is always on January or February of the current year on the solar calendar, but its date can be obtained only by a very complex calculation of the dual movement of the Earth and of the Moon. In the Ancient Chinese History of 24 dynasties, the time has neither beginning, nor ending. Each dynasty hopes an infinite reign on time and each emperor starts counting by his first year of reign as year 1. For example, the Emperor KangXi of the Qing Dynasty counts his reign by KangXi year 1, KangXi year 2, KangXi year 3, ... Nowadays, the Chinese have officially the Gregorian year. This is to say, the year 2010 for this year. But as the Yellow Emperor (Huangdi) is considered as the Creator of the Chinese Nation, the population count also as Huangdi 4708 for this year. To know more about chinese feasts of the 4 seasons related to the chinese calendar, the chinese lunar calendar of my grand father would be a precious help. |
