1935 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Wood Pig
The 1935 Chinese year ran from Monday 4 February 1935 to Thursday 23 January 1936.
Its sign is the Yin Wood Pig: 乙亥 (Yǐ-hài) in the 60-year cycle.
Born 1 January – 3 February 1935? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Wood Dog of 1934.
Chinese New Year or Lichun?
Most calendars change the animal at Chinese New Year. Four Pillars (BaZi) astrology starts the year at Lichun, the Start of Spring, instead. For births around the turn of the year the two counts differ:
- 4 February 1935: Wood Pig by Chinese New Year, Wood Dog by Lichun.
- 5 February 1935 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Wood Dog before 01:48 China time and Wood Pig from then on; by Chinese New Year, Wood Pig.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
