if any one is confused, the year number before players represents their birth year which was also the dragon years. 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon, 2012’s Water Dragon, 2000’s Metal Dragon, 1988’s Earth Dragon, and 1976’s Fire Dragon

[@Independent_Man3]

Wood dragon, water dragon, metal dragon, ... what happens when they run out of dragons?

[@does-it-matter1102]

@@Independent_Man3 they can't because it is made up of five fundamental element of Chinese mysticism, i.e., metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. So, 2024 is wood dragon, and previous wood dragon was 1964, similarly others. Hope this helped

[@Independent_Man3]

@does-it-matter1102 They have a dragon year every 12 years, then they cycle through the 5 elements every 60 years? Okay, kind of funny calendar they have

[@TuanPham-st2zv]

2024 is the year of Fire Dragon, not Wood

China actually doesn't use Lunar Calendar. It's called agricaltural calendar which is a mix of lunar and solar calendar. So the Chinese new year is based on lunisolar calendar. So calling the Chinese new year as lunar new year or solar new year is actually wrong, because the Chinese new year date is actually not lunar calendar new year.

[@user-nm8um2gr1z]

where Zhang Jike?

[@samuelnicholson7905]

This is only for players born in a year of the dragon. Zhang wasn't

[@navid3780]

​@@samuelnicholson7905Zhang Jike was born in a dragon year just as Ma Long, which is 1988 👀

[@jessenguyen3012]

@@navid3780 The Lunar New Year in 1988 was on February 17. Zhang Jike was born on February 16, meaning he was born in the year of the rabbit as the year of the dragon did not start until the day after he was born

[@navid3780]

​@@jessenguyen3012ahh I see makes sense then 🫡 TY!

[@samuelnicholson7905]

@@navid3780 as the other guys said in China it doesn't start until 17th of Feb and Zhang was born the day before

[@ATReaves]

出生在2024年的人，屬相不一定是龍，因為屬相是農曆的。如果出生在2024年1月1日到2024年2月9日，就不是屬龍。其他年份也有這種情況。外國人不一定懂。 People born in 2024 are not necessarily chinese dragons, because they are in the lunar calendar. If you were born from January 1, 2024 to February 9, 2024, it is not a chinese dragon. This is also the case in other years. Foreigners may not understand.

[@traytyler9951]

Year of dragon = ma long winning 3rd Olympic gold

[@Independent_Man3]

He isn't playing in singles. He is like 3000 points behind FZD and 2000 points behind WCQ.

[@x0cx102]

@@Independent_Man3 still some time to determine, wcq is still young and if he loses several times to non Chinese players they might pick ma long still
