Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted February 4, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Some web sites say the year 2012 is the 4710th Chinese year. If you cannot find the explanation as to why, here is a possible answer for you. The Yellow King's inauguration was held in the spring of 2697 B.C. But the day that was used as the first day of the year was the winter solstice, which was around December 23rd, 2698 B.C. Today's January 1st meant nothing to the Yellow King. If we count that extra eight days in 2698 B.C., then year 2012 is the 4710th Chinese year. 2012 is the year of Dragon. Some people say 2012 is a Black Dragon or Water Dragon year.
