China's traditional calendar year: the dry and dry years of the lunar calendar.
The 59th year of a cycle is called "Ren Xunian". In the following AD year, the number of years over 60 is divided by 2, or the number of years is subtracted by 3, and the remainder of division by 10 is 9, and the remainder of division by 12 is 1 1. The years from the first day of the first month of that year to New Year's Eve of the following year were all "Ren Xunian".
Lunar calendar is a dry calendar, and solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. Branches and branches are not divided into solar terms, regardless of traditional habits or official calendars (see the perpetual calendar compiled by Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences for details).

Calendars are not commonly used, but calendars are mostly used for numerology. Therefore, it is based on the solar term month, not the new moon, which is different from the Gregorian calendar year based on the lunar year. In fact, the year of "Ganzhi" which has been widely circulated in recent years began in beginning of spring that year. This is a numerology view, not a common folk practice.
