The traditional calendar year in China, one of the lunar calendar years, occurs once every 60 years. The latest year of Chen Geng is 2000, and the next year of Chen Geng is 2060. There are ten heavenly stems, namely A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and twelve earthly branches, namely Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.
The ancients put them together in the order of Jiazi, Ugly B and Bingyin (that is, the sky turns six times and the earth turns five times, which is just a cycle). Sixty pairs from Jiazi to Guihai are called Jiazi. Chen Geng is one of the main branches, which consists of Tiangan Chen Geng and Dichen. This is the17th year in the 60-year calendar.
It roughly corresponds to the Gregorian calendar year, such as 1820, 1880, 1940, 2000, 2060, etc. (60 year cycle). The specific algorithm is that the number of years is divided by more than 60 and 20, or the number of years is reduced by 3, and the remainder divided by 10 is 7, and the remainder divided by 12 is 5. The years from beginning of spring in that year to beginning of spring in the following year are all "Chen Geng years".
