今天是2024年第三个也是最后一个的龙年龙月龙日龙时。
The first two were April 10th and April 22nd.
前面的两个是四月十日与四月廿二。
Ancient China adopted the "Gan-Zhi Calendar".
中国古代采用“干支历”。
It consists of 60 different groups of names consisting of 10 celestial stems and 12 earthly branches, used to represent the order of year, month and day, and are used cyclically in this way.
即10个天干与12个地支相配而成的60组不同名称，用来表示年、月、日的次序，如此循环使用。
Such a day must be particularly auspicious, right?
这样的日子一定特别吉祥吧？
It has no special meaning.
它没有什么特殊的意义。
This is just an interesting phenomenon of the Chinese Lunar Calendar using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches for timing.
这只是中国农历中的一个有趣现象，农历利用天干地支来记录时间。
According to such calculation, the Year of the Rabbit has Rabbit Year, Rabbit Month, Rabbit Day, Rabbit Hour which occurred on March 10 last year; the Year of the Snake has the Snake Year, Snake Month, Snake Day, Snake Hour, and May 12 next year will be such a day.
按照这样的算法，兔年有兔年兔月兔日兔时，去年出现在3月10日；蛇年有蛇年蛇月蛇日蛇时，明年的5月12日就是这样的一天。
P/S: Forgot to tell everyone that Dragon Hour is from 7am to 9am.
注：忘了告诉大家龙时为早上7时至9时。
