The Chinese calendar is based on a sexagesimal cycle (60 years) which is based on the combination of a ten year cycle (the Heavenly Stems) and a twelve year cycle (the Earthly Branches).
Many people are familiar with the twelve year cycle of the Earthy Branches because these are associated with the twelve animals of the Chinese horoscope (Year of the Rabbit, Year of the Horse etc.) however it is the sexagesimal cycle which is considered far more important by the Chinese in fortune telling and dating.
Cycles of ten and twelve crop in several places in Chinese dating and I was reminded of this the other night during the Moon Cake festival.

 Culture and History
Briefly put, this combines two ancient numerical systems -- the ten Heavenly Stems (tian gan 天干) and the twelve Earthly Branches (di zhi 地支) – to formulate a sexagesimal cycle.
These sixty permutations have been applied widely – to days, months and any variety of other items that can be counted in a cycle – but it is generally acknowledged that they were not applied to years until the Han dynasty.
Beginning in the Han, however, the sixty-year cycle began to be used in both official and unofficial ways – as a way to date publications, for instance, but also to measure the recurrence of religious festivals.
