What day is the second day of the first month?

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. For example, the Gregorian calendar year 2023 corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit, which is the year of Guimao. 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 official almanac of past dynasties is like this. 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 understanding of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
