The Chinese year is luni-solar, comprising twelve lunar mort''s, to which an intercalary month is added, when requisite to preserve 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.
