The 2022 Chinese New Year Day is on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, in China’s time zone. The zodiac sign of 2022 Chinese New Year is the Water Tiger, which is from the Chinese Stem-Branch Calendar. Chinese calendar uses 60 Stem-Branch systems to counting the day, month, and year. Water Tiger is the 39th Stem-Branch in the cycle.
The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China). The Yellow King became king in 2697 B.C., therefore China will enter the 4719th year on Tuesday, February 1, 2022. Because 4719 = (60 * 78) + 39, therefore 2022 of Water Tiger Year is the 4719th Chinese Year. According to the Chinese Five Element theory, Water is connected to the color black. Therefore, 2022 is also called the year of the Black Water Tiger.
