What year is Geng Shennian?

The 57th year of a cycle in China's traditional calendar year is called "Gengshen Year". The year of Gengshen is not a specific year. In various AD years, if the number of years is divided by more than 60, or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder of division by 10 is 7, and the remainder of division by 12 is 9. The year from beginning of spring to beginning of spring in the following year is "Gengshen Year".

The following years are all "Gengshen Year": 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 420, 480, 540, 600, 720, 780, 840, 900 and 960. 1320, 1680, 1740, 1800, 1860, 1920, 1980, 2040, 265438.

Extended data:

The chronology of cadres and branches began in beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, and the chronology of cadres and branches is the calendar chronology of cadres and branches. The same is true of the official almanac (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

After the Republic of China, the emperor's year number was abandoned, and the lunar calendar can only record the year with dry branches, 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 a year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.
