Note that the above is only a rough correspondence, because the Gregorian calendar and the elephant trunk calendar in China, which are widely used in the world, are two different calendars. Gregorian calendar starts from 65438+ 10/month 1, while lunar calendar starts from the date when beginning of spring built silver moon. Generally speaking, that day in beginning of spring is equivalent to February 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

The Year of the Ox is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the calendar year of the main branch, and the calendar year of the main branch is the calendar year method of the main branch. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar). 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.
