Chinese New Year 1984

Chinese New Year 1984 is on February 2, 1984, beginning the Year of the Wood Rat (甲子, Jia Zi), which lasts until February 19, 1985. Until then it is still the Year of the Water Pig. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1984 year begins on February 4, 1984 at 11:18 PM Beijing time (15:18 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap tenth month.

1984 is mostly the Year of the Wood Rat (甲子), from February 2, 1984. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Water Pig.

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

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 1984 has 13 months, including a leap tenth month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 10, 1984.

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.
