2022 Chinese New Year of Water Tiger Year - 4719th Chinese Year

 


The 2022 Chinese New Year Day is on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, in China’s time zone. This day is the new moon day of the first Chinese lunar month in the Chinese Lunar Calendar system. The exact new moon time is at 13:46 on 2022-02-01, in the China time zone.

The animal sign of 2022 Chinese New Year is the Water Tiger. Chinese calendar combines solar, lunar, and 60 Stem-Branch counting systems. The 60 Stem-Branch calendar uses the names of Yin Yang Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth) and 12 animals to rank the sequences. Five elements are connected to five colors – White, Black, Green, Red, and Brown. So Chinese use the color animal name to count the year. The name of 2022 is the Yang Water Tiger. Black is connected to Water. Therefore, 2022 is also called Black Water Tiger Year.


How Old is China?


The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China). The Yellow King became king in 2697 B.C., therefore China will enter the 4719th year on Tuesday, February 1, 2022. Also, the Chinese Year uses the cycle of 60 Stem-Branch counting systems and the Male Water Tiger is the 39th Stem-Branch in the cycle. Since 4719 = (60 * 78) + 39, therefore 2022 of Water Tiger Year is the 4719th Chinese Year.
