China's summer calendar (lunar calendar) uses branches of year, month and day, of which twelve branches correspond to the Chinese zodiac in China. They are: Squirrel, Ugly Cow, Silver Lake, Hairy Rabbit, Chen Long, Sishe, Wuma, Weiyang, Shenhou, Ji You, Baigou and Haizhu.

Therefore, the Year of the Monkey has a fixed date. As a unique folk phenomenon, the zodiac is not only used by our ancestors to record the year, but also to record the month, day and time. Because the zodiac corresponds to the twelve earthly branches.

The China lunar calendar adopts a trunk calendar, and the twelve branches correspond to the year of the zodiac. The latest year of the Monkey is 20 16 (Shen Bing, Tiangan and Shenzhinian in the lunar calendar, corresponding to the Year of the Monkey), and the next year of the Monkey is 2028 (Wushen in the lunar calendar).

The first month includes the rain in silver moon, the second month includes the vernal equinox in Uzuki, the third month includes Grain Rain in Chen Yue, the fourth month includes Mitsuki, and the fifth month includes the summer solstice in May.

June contains summer heat, July contains summer heat, August contains autumnal equinox, September contains early frost, October contains light snow, which is an ugly month, November contains winter solstice and December contains severe cold.
