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.
