Two boundaries, two useful readings

What each year record keeps separate

The familiar animal year and the Four Pillars year use different turning points. Every page shows both, then traces the repeating branch and the complete stem–branch pair on their own cycles.

  1. 01

    Chinese New Year

    Opens the outer zodiac-animal interval and fixes its exact start and end dates.

  2. 02

    Li Chun

    Opens the Four Pillars year and the first of twelve solar-term branch months.

  3. 03

    Branch return · 本命年

    The animal branch returns every twelve years across the supported calendar range.

  4. 04

    Exact pillar return

    The same Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch meet again every sixty years.
