Chinese New Year 1982

Chinese New Year 1982 is on January 25, 1982, beginning the Year of the Water Dog (壬戌, Ren Xu), which lasts until February 12, 1983. Until then it is still the Year of the Metal Rooster. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1982 year begins on February 4, 1982 at 11:45 AM Beijing time (03:45 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap fourth month.

1982 is mostly the Year of the Water Dog (壬戌), from January 25, 1982. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Metal Rooster.

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

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 1982 has 13 months, including a leap fourth month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on October 1, 1982.

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.
