The Chinese Calendar

The Chinese Calendar is a lunisolar calendar used traditionally in China as well as in other countries particularly in, but not limited to, East Asia. It is often used today to track important cultural events and holidays like the Chinese Lunar New Year.

This type can be used with Date to represent dates in the Chinese calendar.

Months

The Chinese calendar is an astronomical calendar which uses the phases of the moon to track months. Each month starts on the date of the new moon as observed from China, meaning that months last 29 or 30 days.

One year in the Chinese calendar is typically 12 lunar months; however, because 12 lunar months does not line up to one solar year, the Chinese calendar will add an intercalary leap month approximately every three years to keep Chinese calendar months in line with the solar year.

Leap months can happen after any month; the month in which a leap month occurs is based on the alignment of months with 24 solar terms into which the solar year is divided.

Year and Era codes

Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese calendar does not traditionally count years in an infinitely increasing sequence. Instead, 10 “celestial stems” and 12 “terrestrial branches” are combined to form a cycle of year names which repeats every 60 years. However, for the purposes of calendar calculations and conversions, this calendar also counts years based on the ISO (Gregorian) calendar. This “related ISO year” marks the ISO year in which a Chinese year begins.

Because the Chinese calendar does not traditionally count years, era codes are not used in this calendar.

Month codes

This calendar is a lunisolar calendar. It supports regular month codes "M01" - "M12" as well as leap month codes "M01L" - "M12L".

This calendar is currently in a preview state: formatting for this calendar is not going to be perfect.

Trait Implementations

impl Calendar for Chinese

fn debug_name(&self) -> &'static str

Obtain a name for the calendar for debug printing

fn month(&self, date: &<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner) -> MonthInfo

The calendar-specific month code represented by date; since the Chinese calendar has leap months, an “L” is appended to the month code for leap months. For example, in a year where an intercalary month is added after the second month, the month codes for ordinal months 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 would be “M01”, “M02”, “M02L”, “M03”, “M04”.

fn day_of_month(&self, date: &<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner) -> DayOfMonth

The calendar-specific day-of-month represented by date

fn day_of_year(&self, date: &<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner) -> DayOfYear

Information of the day of the year

type DateInner = ChineseDateInner

The internal type used to represent dates

type Year = CyclicYear

The type of YearInfo returned by the date

fn from_codes( &self, era: Option<&str>, year: i32, month_code: MonthCode, day: u8, ) -> Result<<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner, DateError>

fn to_iso(&self, date: &<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner) -> IsoDateInner

Obtain an ISO date from this date

fn days_in_year(&self, date: &<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner) -> u16

Count the number of days in a given year, specified by providing a date from that year

fn days_in_month(&self, date: &<Chinese as Calendar>::DateInner) -> u8
