What year is the year of Bing Yin?

The year of Bing Yin is 1926,1986,2046.

The third year of a cycle in the traditional trunk and branch calendar year in China is called "Bing Yin Year", and the latest year is 1986, which is a cycle every 60 years.

In each calendar year, if the number of years divided by 60 is greater than 6, or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder is 3 when divided by 10 and 3 when divided by 12. The year from beginning of spring in that year to beginning of spring in the following year is the year of the third year, such as 1926, 1986 and 2046.

Tree trunk and branch chronology algorithm

The chronology of cadres and branches starts from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because it is the chronology method of the calendar of cadres and branches. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

Since the Republic of China, the lunar calendar has only used branches to record the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve, which is indisputable. Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in each year.
