What is the zodiac?
The correct calculation of the time of the zodiac should be "from the moment you give it to beginning of spring, to the end before you give it to beginning of spring the next year." For example, children born after 0: 52 on February 4, 2009 (handed over to beginning of spring in 2009) and before 6: 42 on February 4, 20 10 (handed over to beginning of spring on 20 10) belong to cattle.
Therefore, the division of the zodiac is not based on the solar calendar, nor on the lunar calendar, but on festivals. Dividing by season is the most accurate, because every month's solar terms will be adjusted in time according to the position of the earth.

Introduction of the zodiac:
The Zodiac, also known as the Zodiac, is a well-known traditional culture in ancient China, which matches the twelve earthly branches with twelve kinds of animals in 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 the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document of China Zodiac is Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
