What is the Chinese zodiac on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

It should be a mouse, because there are 12 zodiac signs in a year 12 months, so the first day is also the first of 12 zodiac signs, so it is a mouse. The zodiac on the first day of the Lunar New Year is the year's animal sign. For example, in the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rat, the first day of the Lunar New Year belongs to the mouse.

The zodiac, also known as the zodiac, is a group of twelve animals that match the year of birth, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to textual research, Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province show that there was a relatively complete zodiac system as early as the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document that recorded the same Chinese zodiac as today was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
