In Chinese astrology calendar, 2014 is 31st Stem-Branch in the cycle and is Green Wooden Horse Year.   • The Year 2014 is the 4711th Chinese year. The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China). The Yellow King became king in 2697 B.C., therefore China will enter the 4711th year on January 31, 2014. Also, the Chinese Year uses the cycle of 60 Stem-Branch counting systems and the Green Wood Horse is the 31st Stem-Branch in the cycle. Since (60 *78) + 31 = 4711, therefore 2014 is the Green Wooden Horse Year, which is the 4711th Chinese Year.
