Chinese New Year 2031

Chinese New Year 2031 is on January 23, 2031, beginning the Year of the Metal Pig (辛亥, Xin Hai), which lasts until February 10, 2032. Until then it is still the Year of the Metal Dog. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 2031 year begins on February 4, 2031 at 8:58 AM Beijing time (00:58 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap third month.

2031 is mostly the Year of the Metal Pig (辛亥), from January 23, 2031. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Metal Dog.

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

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 2031 has 13 months, including a leap third month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on October 1, 2031.

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.
