What year is the Year of the Rabbit?

The Year of the Rabbit is determined according to the traditional calendar of China. The "rabbit" in the zodiac corresponds to the cardinal number of the twelve earthly branches. The year of the rabbit is the base year, and every twelve years is a cycle. The Year of the Rabbit is the year when the AD number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 7. For example, Ding Mao/KOOC-0/987, Ji Mao/KOOC-0/999, Xin Mao 20/KOOC-0/KOOC-0/,and the next year of the Rabbit is 2023.

The Year of the Rabbit 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 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.
