The Chinese year is luni-solar, comprising twelve lunar months, to which an intercalary month is added, when requisite to perserve correspondence with the solar year. When, during a lunar month, the sun does not enter any sign of the Zodiac, that month is inter calary, and the year contains thirteen months, as in the current year.
