ChineseCalendar
is a concrete subclass of Calendar
that implements a traditional Chinese calendar. The traditional Chinese
calendar is a lunisolar calendar: Each month starts on a new moon, and
the months are numbered according to solar events, specifically, to
guarantee that month 11 always contains the winter solstice. In order
to accomplish this, leap months are inserted in certain years. Leap
months are numbered the same as the month they follow. The decision of
which month is a leap month depends on the relative movements of the sun
and moon.
All astronomical computations are performed with respect to a time zone of GMT+8:00 and a longitude of 120 degrees east. Although some calendars implement a historically more accurate convention of using Beijing's local longitude (116 degrees 25 minutes east) and time zone (GMT+7:45:40) for dates before 1929, we do not implement this here.
Years are counted in two different ways in the Chinese calendar. The
first method is by sequential numbering from the 61st year of the reign
of Huang Di, 2637 BCE, which is designated year 1 on the Chinese
calendar. The second method uses 60-year cycles from the same starting
point, which is designated year 1 of cycle 1. In this class, the
EXTENDED_YEAR
field contains the sequential year count.
The ERA
field contains the cycle number, and the
YEAR
field contains the year of the cycle, a value between
1 and 60.
There is some variation in what is considered the starting point of the calendar, with some sources starting in the first year of the reign of Huang Di, rather than the 61st. This gives continuous year numbers 60 years greater and cycle numbers one greater than what this class implements.
Because ChineseCalendar
defines an additional field and
redefines the way the ERA
field is used, it requires a new
format class, ChineseDateFormat
. As always, use the
methods DateFormat.getXxxInstance(Calendar cal,...)
to
obtain a formatter for this calendar.
References:
This class should not be subclassed.
ChineseCalendar usually should be instantiated using
getInstance(ULocale)
passing in a ULocale
with the tag "@calendar=chinese"
.
