Is beginning of spring the Year of the Rabbit?

The beginning of spring is the Year of the Rabbit.

Beginning of spring's method of calculating the year of the zodiac can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, mainly based on the chronology of the main branches. The chronology of trunk and branch is based on the sun, and beginning of spring is the beginning of the alternation of trunk and branch every year. Moreover, according to the chronology of trunk and branch, the length of each year is about 365 to 366 days, which is basically consistent with the length of modern years.

Traditional folk customs in China, such as numerology and divination, and the Gregorian calendar all use beginning of spring as the basis for calculating the zodiac year. Many folk experts support beginning of spring as the zodiac year.
