Is the Spring Festival in 2020 in beginning of spring? When is the celebration?

China's authoritative National Standards Committee approved the publication of the Compilation and Promulgation of the Lunar Calendar, in which it has been mentioned that the changes of the zodiac are based on the first day of the first lunar month, that is, the Spring Festival. The calendar year of the main branch and the zodiac is the symbol of the lunar year, which is suitable for calculating the zodiac from the first day of the first month in the traditional old imperial calendar, and the Spring Festival on the first day of the first month is also the starting day of the zodiac alternation.

The zodiac signs in China are judged according to the order of the twelve earthly branches. Each earthly branch of Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai corresponds to a different zodiac, and Zi represents the zodiac mouse. According to the calculation of the China lunar calendar, that is, the lunar calendar, in the Spring Festival of 2020, it is 1.

The so-called beginning of spring view means that China's lunar calendar is based on the lunar calendar, and the calculation of the month is based on the lunar calendar, but the change of the monthly branch is based on the solar terms. For example, the Spring Festival in 2020 is the year of the boxer, but the month is still the ugly month (the ugly month is the earthly branch of the twelfth lunar month), not silver moon (the earthly branch of the first lunar month), and it is silver moon after beginning of spring, but this has nothing to do with the Chinese zodiac. This kind of travel is due to the error between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. Because there is a leap month in 2020, the leap month only appears to balance the error of the lunar calendar.
