Chinese New Year 1917

Chinese New Year 1917 is on January 23, 1917, beginning the Year of the Fire Snake (丁巳, Ding Si), which lasts until February 10, 1918. Until then it is still the Year of the Fire Dragon. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1917 year begins on February 4, 1917 at 4:57 PM Beijing time (08:57 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap second month.

1917 is mostly the Year of the Fire Snake (丁巳), from January 23, 1917. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Fire Dragon.

In the Year of the Fire Snake, the signs traditionally said to be in conflict with Tai Sui, the year's ruling deity, are Snake (birth year), Pig (clash), Tiger (harm and punishment) and Monkey (punishment and break).

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 1917 has 13 months, including a leap second month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 30, 1917.

Dates are computed astronomically, following the rules of the modern Chinese calendar (GB/T 33661-2017): days in China Standard Time (UTC+8), months starting on the day of the new moon, the winter solstice always in the eleventh month, and leap months placed in the first month without a principal solar term. Solar terms are the moments the Sun reaches each 15 degree point of its path, computed with the Astronomy Engine library. Years before 1929 used Beijing local time, so a handful of historical dates can differ by one day from older almanacs.
