Year of the Rabbit:
The Year of the Rabbit is determined according to the traditional Chinese calendar. The "rabbit" in the zodiac corresponds to Mao among the twelve earthly branches. The Year of the Rabbit is the year of Mao. Twelve years as a cycle. For example, 2011 in the Gregorian calendar basically corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit, that is, the Year of Xinmao. The Year of the Rabbit is calculated from the beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is dependent on the chronology of the stems and branches, and the chronology of the stems and branches is the method of the ganzhi calendar.
This is true for all official almanacs (i.e. almanacs) of all dynasties. The lunar calendar only uses the stems and branches to mark the year, and its year range is from the first day of the first lunar month to the New Year's Eve. This point is not controversial. The lunar calendar and the Ganzhi calendar are two different calendars. They are different in the starting point of the year, the rules of dividing the months, and the number of days in each year. Since the Gregorian calendar was adopted after the Republic of China, many people, including a very few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.
