What year is Geng?

Geng Shennian is not just a year. Gengshen in recent years is 1920, 1980, 2040, 2 100, 2 160.

The 57th year of a cycle in China's traditional calendar year is called "Gengshen Year". In the following AD years, the number of years divided by more than 60 zeros, or the number of years divided by 3, the remainder divided by 10 is 7, and the remainder divided by 12 is 9. The year from beginning of spring to beginning of spring in the following year is "Gengshen Year".

Chronology of cadres and branches

The chronology of cadres and branches begins in beginning of spring with 24 solar terms, and 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). 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 each 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.
