The Ancient Chinese Calendar is totally different from our standard (Gregorian) calendar. It consists of a cyclic numeral system of 60 combinations, with each of the 60 symbols having two characters. In Japan, these two characters are called “kan-shi.” In English they are known as “heavenly stems and earthly branches.” Kan is based on the Five Elements and Yin-Yang. Shi is what we call "Chinese Zodiac Symbols." And though this calendar is thousands of years old, its use is still relevant and practical even in our time. In fact, it is still used today in the Far East, typically as an almanac.
