Traditional Chinese calendar

[MenoData]

This is a lunisolar calendar, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_calendar. To make an implementation possible, an astronomical module is required.

About era names bound to emperors, this site might be interesting for the period 1645-1912 (I am going to support this calendar only after 1645 when the calendar rules had been fixed):

Actually, the Chinese calendar does not use eras any longer so such a property can only be optional.
