Is the rotation point of the ecliptic in beginning of spring or Spring Festival?

The zodiac is calculated according to the beginning of spring. The rotation point of the ecliptic is the beginning of spring! But for the convenience of calculation, it is generally considered as the Spring Festival!

The basis of the zodiac is the chronology of the branches. The zodiac corresponds to the twelve earthly branches. Corresponding to the ugly mouse, cow, tiger and rabbit. For example, the Year of the Rat is the Year of the Rat, Shen Nian is the Year of the Monkey, the fourth year is year of the snake, and the second year is the Year of the Loong. This is clear, and the answer is clear. The zodiac is divided according to which day of the year. This is beyond dispute. The dividing line between the dry and dry years is beginning of spring! In the lunar calendar, many people think that the beginning of a year is the Spring Festival. Actually, it was a misunderstanding. This is misled by the beginning of the new year on the Gregorian calendar 1+0. The Lunar New Year should begin in spring.

Contrary to folklore experts, some astronomical researchers believe that the New Year of the zodiac should begin in beginning of spring. According to reports, the method of taking beginning of spring as the standard of the zodiac began in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. At present, the folklore used by the people, such as traditional numerology and divination, also takes the "beginning of spring" solar terms as the basis for calculating the zodiac. For example, if numerology depends on a person's date of birth, it must strictly start from spring.

Researchers pointed out that China used heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the year, month and day in ancient times. The zodiac, including the concept of twelve o'clock, is unique in the heavenly stems and earthly branches Chronology, which is a different system from the lunar calendar. The chronology of the trunk and branch is based on the sun, and heavenly stems and earthly branches alternately starts from beginning of spring every year. For example, the year of the horse is Wu Jianian, and the year of the sheep is B. According to the chronology of trunks and branches, the length of each year is about 365.25 days.

Conclusion: The ecliptic is divided according to beginning of spring, not Spring Festival or New Year's Eve.
