The twelve zodiac signs were introduced from Western countries to China. Many of China's traditional customs are calculated according to the lunar calendar, so many people are confused about whether the twelve zodiac signs are based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar.

　　The answer is: The twelve zodiac signs are divided according to the solar calendar (Gregorian calendar), which means that the zodiac signs are determined by the solar calendar date of birth.

　　Fun fact: The solar calendar is also called the Gregorian calendar, and it is the internationally used calendar. In astronomy, the solar calendar mainly arranges the year according to the annual movement of the sun. A year has approximately 365 days. The solar calendar is established based on the cycle of the sun's direct point, and its average year is a tropical year. There are two types of years: common years and leap years, with only one day difference between them. This solar calendar is used globally, hence it is also called the Gregorian calendar.

　　If your birthday falls on the border of two zodiac signs, you belong to a boundary sign. Please refer to the [Boundary Zodiac Sign Lookup Table] for details.
