The Chinese Lunar Calendar

Chinese Lunar Year Symbols
The Chinese calendar is based on a twelve year cycle which is determined by the moon. There are twelve symbols, one for each year of the cycle. The Chinese year usually starts in January. We have ignored the start date, and give below a simplified chart showing the Chinese year symbol for each year of the last century.
