At present, the Chinese zodiac used by the people, as well as traditional folk customs such as numerology and divination, are all based on the solar term "beginning of spring". For example, if numerology wants to see a person's date of birth, it must strictly start from spring.

Researchers pointed out that in ancient China, heavenly stems and earthly branches was used to record the year, month and day. The term "Zodiac", including the concept of "twelve o'clock", is unique in the chronology of heavenly stems and earthly branches, which is different from the lunar calendar. The chronology of trunks and branches is based on the sun, and the alternation of trunks and branches begins in beginning of spring every year. For example, the year of the horse is Wu Jianian, the year of the sheep is Wu Jianian, and the year of the sheep is Wu Jianian. Moreover, according to the chronology of trunks and branches, the annual length is about 365.25 days.
