    **** EXPLNATION ****


       In the Korean traditional (or Luni-solar) calender, each year has a name based on sexagenary cycle. The name of a year in a 60-year cycle consists of two Chinese characters. The first character is from the ordered series of ten characters indicating celestial stems and the other is from the ordered series of twelve characters indicating terrestrial branches. The first series repeats 6 times and the second series repeats 5 times during 60 years. Therefore, the name of each year would reappear in every 60 years.
       The year of 2001 is the year of Sin-Sa. This implies that the year of 2061 will also be the year of Sin-Sa.
       Another way to indicate a specific year in ancient period (or earlier times) of Korea is to mark the years ruled by a king, such as 3rd year of King Sejong. This method had been used until 1910.

    - The first component is a Celestial Stem(ô¸ÊÎ).
