Extended data:

The chronology of cadres and branches starts from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because it is the chronology method of the calendar of cadres and branches. 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. Because there is a corresponding relationship between the zodiac and the earthly branches, the zodiac is also counted from beginning of spring.
