A calendar used in ancient China. It was also called the quadrant system because the length of a year was 365 days + 1/4 days. Seven leap months were inserted every 19 years (19 x 12 + 7 = 235 lunar months), and the 19 years of this basic cycle were considered one chapter, with leap months and the length of the moon changing every four chapters (76 years). The cycle of one chapter was also known in Greece as the Metonic cycle. Astronomically, the lunar nodes and periapses take 18.599 years and 8.851 years, respectively, so the cycle returns to roughly the original state every 19 years.

中国の古代に用いられた暦。1年の長さが365日+1/4日であることから,四分法ともよばれた。19年に7個の閏月を挿入し(19×12+7=235朔望月),この基本周期の19年を1章とし,4章(76年)で閏月および月の大小が循環するようにした暦法である。1章という周期は,ギリシアでもメトン周期として知られていた。天文学的には月の交点,近点がそれぞれ18.599年,8.851年の周期であるから,19年の周期でほぼ元どおりに復帰する。
