All I know is in Chinese the months and days are like
一月一日 (1/1)
二月二日 (2/2)
and date(1) will allow me to print
一月 but not 一日
二月 but not 二日
probably because date allows two versions for months
1 or January
2 or February
but not days, because in English none is needed.
But that's not the case for Chinese.

Yes the former.
But you need a linguistics expert to confirm what I'm saying.
