Anyone born January 1 through January 21, 1898 is still a Fire Rooster carried over from 1897.<\/p>\n      <p>The lunar side runs ahead of the solar side this year. The lunar new year landed on January 22, 1898, thirteen days before Start of Spring (<span class=\"tzl-cn\">L\u00ecch\u016bn<\/span>) on February 4 \u2014 an unusually wide lunar-new-year-first gap. Many BaZi practitioners treat L\u00ecch\u016bn, not the lunar new year, as the boundary, so a birth between January 22 and February 3 already counts as Earth Dog under the lunar convention this page follows, while still reading as the previous year&#8217;s Fire Rooster under the solar convention some practitioners use. A February 4 birth needs the exact time and place, since L\u00ecch\u016bn began at a specific moment during that day, not at midnight. The <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/january-february-zodiac\/\">January\u2013February boundary guide<\/a> lays out both methods side by side.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"tzl-section\">\n  <h2>What an Earth Dog actually is<\/h2>\n  <p>&#8220;Dog&#8221; names the animal; the element rides on top of it. 1898 is written <span class=\"tzl-cn\">\u620a\u620c (w\u00f9 x\u016b)<\/span> \u2014 Yang Earth on the stem, sitting above a branch that tradition assigns to Earth as well, the Dog&#8217;s own branch element. Stem and branch share the same element here, so nothing is read as controlling or feeding anything else; the pairing doubles Earth&#8217;s weight rather than putting two elements in tension. It&#8217;s the identical stem-branch as <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/1958-chinese-zodiac\/\">1958<\/a>, one sixty-year turn later.<\/p>\n  <p>In folklore the Dog didn&#8217;t finish last in the Great Race, though it came close. A strong swimmer, the story goes it got sidetracked playing in the water along the way and crossed eleventh of twelve, ahead of only the Pig. Tradition reads the Dog as loyal and honest as a result, more interested in the people around it than in coming first, and Earth is said to settle that loyalty into something steady and unshowy rather than restless. Read that as the symbolic reading tradition offers, not a claim about any specific person born that year.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"tzl-section\">\n  <h2>The year that gave the Reform its name<\/h2>\n  <p>Here is the detail that sets 1898 apart from every other Dog year. Its sexagenary name, <span class=\"tzl-cn\">\u620a\u620c (w\u00f9x\u016b)<\/span>, is also the name Chinese history gave to one of the most consequential hundred days of the late Qing dynasty. On June 11, 1898, the Guangxu Emperor launched a sweeping program of institutional reform \u2014 reorganizing the civil service examinations, the military and the bureaucracy along more modern lines \u2014 an episode known in English as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hundred_Days%27_Reform\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hundred Days&#8217; Reform<\/a> and in Chinese, by its stem-branch year, as <span class=\"tzl-cn\">\u620a\u620c\u53d8\u6cd5<\/span> (W\u00f9x\u016b Bi\u00e0nf\u01ce).<\/p>\n  <p>It lasted barely three months. On September 21, 1898, Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup, placed the emperor under house arrest and reversed nearly all of the reforms. Six reformers, including Tan Sitong, were executed a week later, on September 28, and are remembered in Chinese history as the <span class=\"tzl-cn\">\u620a\u620c\u516d\u541b\u5b50<\/span>, the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu. As with the <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/1911-chinese-zodiac\/\">1911 Metal Pig page&#8217;s Xinhai Revolution<\/a> thirteen years later, the event is filed in Chinese not by a place or a ruler&#8217;s name but by the two-character stem-branch of the year in which it happened \u2014 the same naming pattern turning up a second time on this site.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"tzl-section\">\n  <h2>Traditional Dog pairings<\/h2>\n  <p>In the traditional groupings, the Dog forms a three-harmony trine with the <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/compatibility-tiger\/\">Tiger<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/compatibility-horse\/\">Horse<\/a>, pairs with the <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/compatibility-rabbit\/\">Rabbit<\/a> in six-harmony, and stands opposite the <a href=\"https:\/\/thezodiaclore.com\/compatibility-dragon\/\">Dragon<\/a> in the clash.
