Chinese New Year 1955

Chinese New Year 1955 is on January 24, 1955, beginning the Year of the Wood Goat (乙未, Yi Wei), which lasts until February 11, 1956. Until then it is still the Year of the Wood Horse. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1955 year begins on February 4, 1955 at 10:17 PM Beijing time (14:17 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap third month.

1955 is mostly the Year of the Wood Goat (乙未), from January 24, 1955. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Wood Horse.

In the Year of the Wood Goat, the signs traditionally said to be in conflict with Tai Sui, the year's ruling deity, are Goat (birth year), Ox (clash and punishment), Rat (harm) and Dog (punishment and break).

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 1955 has 13 months, including a leap third month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 30, 1955.

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.
