The significance of years in calligraphy

Time is also called time. In ancient times, Jupiter marked a year. The ancients divided the equatorial part of the sky into 12 equal parts, and each equal part was marked with some stars. Jupiter only walks once a year, 12. The number of stars that Jupiter and its branches value every year is called years.

The official name of China Zodiac stamps is Ganzhi Year. For example, the Year of the Monkey is Geng Shennian, Ren Shennian and Shen Jianian. The the Year of the Loong stamp in the China Special Administrative Region Zodiac stamps reads "Year of Chen Geng".

Writing "Nian Times" is China's traditional expression of Nian. For example, 1894, the chronological characters should be written as "Wu Jia in the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty". In the language of the article, you can also write "Nianzai". For example, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting begins with "Yonghe is nine years old and ugly". When the year is expressed by "year" and "year in year", it must start with the number of years and the year. But if you only write the word "dry branch", you can use it independently. In China's modern history, the Sino-Japanese War, the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911 all used the Gregorian calendar year. Another example is Su Shi's "Qianchibi Fu", which reads "Autumn, looking forward to July." Refers to July 16th, five years in Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong. Of course, if it is the suffix chronology of inscriptions, chapters and documents at that time, it should be written like this: "Song Yuanfeng is five years old."
