Dragon Year(壬辰)

Recommended Posts

Hey, bro

Happy Lunar New Year!!

You are right, the actual Dragon arrives on 4th February 2012, time 18:22hr.

To be precise, the lichun arrives at UTC time 10.22 when the earth's celestial longitude reaches the plane of 315 deg. Read below:

Singapore is "situated" at 0800 + UTC, so it is 0800+ 1022 = 1822hr, the dragon arrives.

I have been waiting for forumers to correct the "error" in my previous statement of "dragon stays for 384 days"...Seem no one interested?? or "don't know"?? Let me correct it :

There is an conceptual error is my previous post that the dragon will stay for "384 days". Actually, each of the 12 animals have fair chance, each stays on this planet for 365.26 days ONLY( start of this lichun to the next start of lichun = 365.26 days), no more and no less. However, because of the "nian concept" - moon cycle is the "culprit", commoners used to think that animal "exchange duty" on cny, and if this the case, then the dragon will "stay" for 384 days liao. Got my point?
