Lunar New Year Algorithm China Huangli uses beginning of spring to determine the zodiac.

The "lunar calendar" is the lunar calendar that began to be used in the Han Dynasty. The New Year is bounded by beginning of spring, beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, and the zodiac is based on beginning of spring.

There are 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches in the Liujia concentration, that is, Zi Chou Yin Mao and Tatsumi Shen You Xu Hai Noon. This is a bit complicated, so the ancients thought of using animals to represent earthly branches, that is, the zodiac. Rats, ugly cows, yinhu, maotu, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. The zodiac is unique in Liu Jianian, China, and it should be counted from the date of beginning of spring.

Traditional numerology and divination all take "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac! Including the folk diviners, who have always followed the traditional formula of the China Zodiac. Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, it cannot be determined by the current Spring Festival.
