My respect to you, and may the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
00:34
And may the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you
00:36
Thank you, Professor Omar.
00:37
In his opinion, I am not an astronomy specialist.
00:41
But I will answer with the information I don't know.
00:45
First, the Chinese have two calendars.
00:49
Lunar calendar and solar calendar
00:52
The solar calendar is not the western solar calendar.
00:57
Which is known as the Gregorian Calendar
00:59
The Chinese solar calendar is similar to the Chinese lunar calendar.
01:04
It goes back thousands of years.
01:07
It goes back at least three thousand years in history.
01:11
Before I try to give you a quick overview of the lunar calendar
01:17
The Chinese solar calendar
01:18
I mean, I would like to say that first, regarding today’s measurement…
01:24
Because of course the lunar calendar is a measure of the month
01:28
Based on the month measurement
01:30
The lunar month is measured based on the moon's rotation.
01:36
around the Earth
01:39
The solar calendar is a calendar for the whole year.
01:44
For the entire solar year
01:45
It depends on the Earth's complete rotation around the sun.
01:50
Today is the day's measurement as a unit of time
01:55
Of course, it depends on the Earth's complete rotation around its axis.
02:01
The Chinese are no different from other Western scientists.
02:07
Or the Westerners falling into something
02:09
And they even agree with them that the day starts at midnight.
02:14
Midnight is the beginning of a new day
02:17
But for the general public, the beginning of the day is considered to be dawn.
02:23
Dawn is the beginning of the day
02:24
I think we even find the thought dot
02:27
Many people in our Arab country
02:30
Especially in fiber, meaning they consider dawn to be the beginning of the day.
02:36
Let's start talking about the Chinese lunar calendar.
02:40
Then we enter the solar calendar
02:42
Chinese lunar calendar
02:43
The lunar month, as I said, depends on the rotation of the moon.
02:49
A complete orbit around the Earth
02:52
The month is approximately twenty-nine and a half days.
02:55
Approximately twenty-nine and a half days
02:57
Approximately twenty-nine and a half days
02:58
Therefore, the full Chinese year according to the lunar calendar is from the twelfth to the thirteenth month.
03:09
Twelve or thirteen months
03:12
This thirteenth month is added every two or three years.
03:17
That means every two and a half months, or every three and a half months, an additional month is added to the year.
03:29
In the year 2020, the fourth month of the lunar calendar occurred twice.
03:37
That means the fourth month twice in 2014, the ninth month was repeated twice
03:42
The lunar year has a specific name for each month.
03:48
The name Dot keeps telling us what the Chinese are doing this month.
03:55
He describes when the same month describes the Chinese hot pepper in that month.
04:00
It is usually associated with agriculture.
04:03
From the name of the month we know what the Chinese plant in this month.
04:09
Whether this month is hot or not
04:13
Very close to our popular culture
04:16
There are popular proverbs that tell us whether this month will be hot or cold or whatever.
04:22
The Chinese lunar calendar differs from the Chinese solar calendar by about 15 days.
04:31
15 days before, 15 days after
04:35
The solar calendar remains almost constant every year.
04:37
With a difference of only one, two, or three days
04:39
Because the lunar year sometimes has 13 months
04:45
This month, as I said, is added every two or three years.
04:51
The total is sometimes possible when there are 13 months
04:57
The total number of days in a lunar year is approximately 383 days.
05:05
Sometimes 385 days
05:07
This is when there are 13 months
05:11
And this year that we are in
05:13
2020 is the year
05:15
13 months, it's very possible
05:17
This year the number will be
05:19
Approximate days of the year
05:21
383 or 385
05:23
Chinese Lunar New Year
05:25
Which is it?
05:27
Chinese New Year
05:29
Following the lunar calendar
05:31
It starts every year
05:33
From January 21
05:35
Until February 20
05:37
Between January 21
05:39
Until February 20
05:41
From the Western calendar
05:43
While the calendar
05:45
Chinese solar
05:47
It starts every year
05:49
From February 3
05:51
Until February 5
05:53
And it remains
05:55
Name of the first day
05:57
It is the beginning of spring
05:59
Chinese solar system begins
06:01
At the beginning of spring
06:03
We notice that
06:05
Chinese New Year
06:07
It begins
06:09
After the Western year
06:11
known
06:13
It starts from
06:15
20 days to 50 days
06:17
20 days to 50 days
06:19
The Chinese lunar calendar begins
06:21
Chinese New Year
06:23
It begins
06:25
Of course every year
06:27
It varies
06:29
Her stomach is different
06:31
solar calendar
06:33
There is no month in it
06:35
minus
06:37
There is no month in it
06:39
It's like February
06:41
For example, not 28 or 29 days
06:43
no
06:45
Chinese solar calendar
06:47
All months
06:49
You will remain too
06:51
365 or 366 days
06:55
Every month
06:57
Divided into two solar periods
06:59
His name
07:01
Each month is divided into two periods.
07:03
So at the end of the year
07:05
Chinese solar year
07:07
Divided into 24 periods
07:09
Every period
07:11
From 15 days to 16 days
07:13
Therefore
07:15
The month is over
07:17
It may be 30 days
07:19
Yama promised him 30 days
07:21
So the first period and the second period
07:23
They are divided into 15 days and 15 days.
07:25
Or 15 days and 16 days
07:27
Or 16 days and 15 days
07:29
Types of the group
07:31
Yama 30 days promises 30 days
07:33
There is no 28 and there is no 29
07:35
And every solar period too
07:37
It symbolizes
07:39
To something
07:41
This same period describes
07:43
period in the season
07:45
Seasonal
07:47
Because it is a 24-hour period
07:49
Divided exactly
07:51
accurately
07:53
They refer to four chapters.
07:55
Four seasons
07:57
spring, summer, autumn, and winter
08:01
24 period
08:03
Countries start
08:05
The first period begins in it
08:07
February almost because it is in it
08:09
A year that may start on February 3
08:11
Year starting February 5
08:13
It is called Leyton.
08:15
Leyton means the beginning of spring
08:17
Of course, the beginning of spring is different.
08:19
From one place to another
08:21
Inside China itself because China is a country
08:23
Too big
08:25
In all regions
08:27
Spring has the same beginning
08:29
For example, North China
08:31
Far North China and Northeast China
08:33
The snow stays
08:35
Available
08:37
Until, for example, the end of May
08:39
Spring is starting in some places.
08:43
Areas like Chamchon City
08:45
For example, it starts in July.
08:47
It starts in July
08:49
It starts in July and August.
08:51
Or less
08:53
It starts in June and July.
08:55
The second half of June and July
08:57
Second half of June July
08:59
In the spring
09:01
Starting from August, the Caliphate begins
09:03
etc.
09:05
Visas vary from one region to another.
09:07
These are the Chinese calendars.
09:11
Lunar calendar and solar calendar
09:13
All are traditional calendars.
09:15
It has different names.
09:17
It could be called, for example, Nonley.
09:19
It means the agricultural calendar.
09:21
Can you name her Yinli?
09:25
It means the lunar calendar.
09:27
It can be called Tioli
09:29
I mean the old calendar
09:31
Or it is called Loli
09:33
Traditional calendar means
09:35
We conclude by saying a quick word about
09:37
Chinese zodiac
09:39
They are 12 signs
09:41
Each sign is named after an animal.
09:43
Divided into 12 years
09:45
So you take a full course
09:47
Every 12 years you take a full cycle.
09:49
These 12 years
09:51
The 12 towers
09:53
They start with the year of the poor animal.

About Chinese astrology
10:39
Chinese astrology
10:41
Chinese astronomers
10:43
They believe that when a person
10:45
He was born in what year?
10:47
It has animal characteristics

For example
10:53
We take Bruce Lee
10:55
The famous Hong Kong actor
10:57
The most famous kung fu game
10:59
He was born in the year of the dragon.
11:01
But he was born in San Francisco.

11:07
foreign name
11:09
His name in Chinese is
11:11
My last name is Lee
11:13
His name is Jin Fan
11:15
But because he was born in the year of the dragon
11:17
He was mischievous
11:19
He was always in suffocation
11:21
In quarrels
11:23
He is a troublemaker and causes a lot of problems for his family.
11:25
In Hong Kong
11:27
They called it as a pet name
11:29
Seoul
11:31
Seulung in Hong Kong pronunciation
11:33
Cantonese
11:35
Mandaline pronunciation in the People's Republic of China
11:37
Xiaolong
11:39
So his name remained in Hong Kong.
11:41
For family name
11:43
His nickname is Seulong.
11:45
Seulong D means
11:47
Little Dragon
11:49
Because he was born in the year of the dragon
11:51
It has the characteristics of a dragon.
11:53
The age of the newborn in a given year
11:55
It has animal characteristics
11:57
Whose name is this year?
11:59
Chinese astrology and Chinese astronomy
12:01
Very popular in Asia
12:03
Given my long history
12:05
Which goes back more than three
12:07
thousands of years
12:09
That's why it's so famous.
12:11
It is used in the travel countries.
12:13
Like in Japan, Korea and Vietnam
12:15
They also use the Chinese calendar.
12:17
Lunar and solar

12:31
In astronomy, it means but
12:33
I hope there is any information in it
12:35
Useful for those interested in astronomy
12:37
Astrology in general
12:39
We conclude by saying:
12:41
Astrologers lie even if they tell the truth
12:43
music
12:55
music
12:57
music
12:59
