The Year of the Pig is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the calendar year of the trunk and branch, and the calendar year of the trunk and branch is the calendar year method of the trunk and branch.

There is no doubt that the lunar calendar only uses branches to mark the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve.

Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in each year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.

The trunk calendar is a calendar marked with 60 different heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is a unique solar calendar in China. It takes beginning of spring as the beginning of the year, and divides the year into twelve months with twenty-four solar terms. Every month contains two solar terms, and there is no leap month.

The dry calendar is related to the periodic movement of the earth around the sun, which can reflect the climate change throughout the year. Since ancient times, the Ganzhi calendar has been widely recognized by the government and the people, and has been applied to astronomy, geomantic omen, numerology, choice and traditional Chinese medicine, and recorded in the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).
