Beginning of spring is the basis of the calculation of the zodiac.

Traditional numerology and divination all refer to beginning of spring. Including the current folk fortune tellers, have always followed the traditional zodiac formula. Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, it can't be determined by the current Spring Festival. For convenience, some people decide the zodiac directly according to the Spring Festival, so the tradition is gradually forgotten by many people, and the definition of the zodiac is also controversial. The period from beginning of spring to beginning of spring is 365 days, while the short period from Spring Festival travel rush to Spring Festival is only 354 days, and the long period is 384 days. This shows that the definition of beginning of spring is correct.
