;;; Commentary:

;; See calendar.el.

;; The rules used for the Chinese calendar are those of Baolin Liu
;; (see L. E. Doggett's article "Calendars" in the Explanatory
;; Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, second edition, 1992) for
;; the calendar as revised at the beginning of the Qing dynasty in
;; 1644.  The nature of the astronomical calculations is such that
;; precise calculations cannot be made without great expense in time,
;; so that the calendars produced may not agree perfectly with
;; published tables--but no two pairs of published tables agree
;; perfectly either!  Liu's rules produce a calendar for 2033 which is
;; not accepted by all authorities.  The date of Chinese New Year is
;; correct from 1644-2051.

;; Note to maintainers:
;; Use `chinese-year-cache-init' every few years to recenter the default
;; value of `chinese-year-cache'.
