What is the zodiac?
Traditional folklore, such as numerology and divination, all use "beginning of spring" as the basis for calculating the zodiac! Including the current folk astrology divination, Mr. Divination has always followed the traditional zodiac method. Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, it can't be determined by the current Spring Festival.
The traditional Spring Festival refers to the beginning of spring, and the first day of the first month is the New Year. In the year of the Republic of China (19 1 1), the Gregorian calendar 1 was designated as the Spring Festival. Due to opposition from the people, Yuan Shikai compromised and named the Gregorian calendar 1 New Year's Day.
Controversy about the zodiac algorithm.
Some people decide the zodiac directly according to the Spring Festival for convenience, so the tradition is gradually forgotten by many people, and the definition of the zodiac is controversial. There are even folklore scholars who claim that the zodiac should be set according to the Spring Festival, but they can't find the basis, just speculating that "it should be set according to the Spring Festival" or "for convenience"; But many folklore scholars who support the beginning of spring Zodiac can find the traditional basis.
According to the questionnaire, the number of people who use the tradition of setting the zodiac in beginning of spring and forget it is 50/50.
Of course, if you happen to be born on a "controversial" date, you can also decide according to your personal preference.
