public final class MinguoChronology extends AbstractChronology implements Serializable
The Minguo calendar system.

This chronology defines the rules of the Minguo calendar system. This calendar system is primarily used in the Republic of China, often known as Taiwan. Dates are aligned such that `0001-01-01 (Minguo)` is `1912-01-01 (ISO)`.

The fields are defined as follows:

- era - There are two eras, the current 'Republic' (ERA_ROC) and the previous era (ERA_BEFORE_ROC).
- year-of-era - The year-of-era for the current era increases uniformly from the epoch at year one. For the previous era the year increases from one as time goes backwards. The value for the current era is equal to the ISO proleptic-year minus 1911.
- proleptic-year - The proleptic year is the same as the year-of-era for the current era. For the previous era, years have zero, then negative values. The value is equal to the ISO proleptic-year minus 1911.
- month-of-year - The Minguo month-of-year exactly matches ISO.
- day-of-month - The Minguo day-of-month exactly matches ISO.
- day-of-year - The Minguo day-of-year exactly matches ISO.
- leap-year - The Minguo leap-year pattern exactly matches ISO, such that the two calendars are never out of step.

  - ### dateNow

    public MinguoDate dateNow()
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains the current local date in this chronology from the system clock in the default time-zone.

    This will query the `system clock` in the default time-zone to obtain the current date.

    Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

    Specified by:
      `dateNow` in interface `Chronology`
    Returns:
      the current local date using the system clock and default time-zone, not null

  - ### dateNow

    public MinguoDate dateNow(ZoneId zone)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains the current local date in this chronology from the system clock in the specified time-zone.

    This will query the `system clock` to obtain the current date. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone.

    Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

    Specified by:
      `dateNow` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `zone` - the zone ID to use, not null
    Returns:
      the current local date using the system clock, not null

  - ### dateNow

    public MinguoDate dateNow(Clock clock)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains the current local date in this chronology from the specified clock.

    This will query the specified clock to obtain the current date - today. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using `dependency injection`.

    Specified by:
      `dateNow` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `clock` - the clock to use, not null
    Returns:
      the current local date, not null

  - ### date

    public MinguoDate date(TemporalAccessor temporal)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains a local date in this chronology from another temporal object.

    This obtains a date in this chronology based on the specified temporal. A `TemporalAccessor` represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of `ChronoLocalDate`.

    The conversion typically uses the `EPOCH_DAY` field, which is standardized across calendar systems.

    This method matches the signature of the functional interface `TemporalQuery` allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, `aChronology::date`.

    Specified by:
      `date` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `temporal` - the temporal object to convert, not null
    Returns:
      the local date in this chronology, not null
    See Also:
      - `ChronoLocalDate.from(TemporalAccessor)`

  - ### localDateTime

    public ChronoLocalDateTime<MinguoDate> localDateTime(TemporalAccessor temporal)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains a local date-time in this chronology from another temporal object.

    This obtains a date-time in this chronology based on the specified temporal. A `TemporalAccessor` represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of `ChronoLocalDateTime`.

    The conversion extracts and combines the `ChronoLocalDate` and the `LocalTime` from the temporal object. Implementations are permitted to perform optimizations such as accessing those fields that are equivalent to the relevant objects. The result uses this chronology.

    This method matches the signature of the functional interface `TemporalQuery` allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, `aChronology::localDateTime`.

    Specified by:
      `localDateTime` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `temporal` - the temporal object to convert, not null
    Returns:
      the local date-time in this chronology, not null
    See Also:
      - `ChronoLocalDateTime.from(TemporalAccessor)`

  - ### zonedDateTime

    public ChronoZonedDateTime<MinguoDate> zonedDateTime(TemporalAccessor temporal)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains a `ChronoZonedDateTime` in this chronology from another temporal object.

    This obtains a zoned date-time in this chronology based on the specified temporal. A `TemporalAccessor` represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of `ChronoZonedDateTime`.

    The conversion will first obtain a `ZoneId` from the temporal object, falling back to a `ZoneOffset` if necessary. It will then try to obtain an `Instant`, falling back to a `ChronoLocalDateTime` if necessary. The result will be either the combination of `ZoneId` or `ZoneOffset` with `Instant` or `ChronoLocalDateTime`. Implementations are permitted to perform optimizations such as accessing those fields that are equivalent to the relevant objects. The result uses this chronology.

    This method matches the signature of the functional interface `TemporalQuery` allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, `aChronology::zonedDateTime`.

    Specified by:
      `zonedDateTime` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `temporal` - the temporal object to convert, not null
    Returns:
      the zoned date-time in this chronology, not null
    See Also:
      - `ChronoZonedDateTime.from(TemporalAccessor)`

  - ### zonedDateTime

    public ChronoZonedDateTime<MinguoDate> zonedDateTime(Instant instant, ZoneId zone)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Obtains a `ChronoZonedDateTime` in this chronology from an `Instant`.

    This obtains a zoned date-time with the same instant as that specified.

    Specified by:
      `zonedDateTime` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `instant` - the instant to create the date-time from, not null
      `zone` - the time-zone, not null
    Returns:
      the zoned date-time, not null

  - ### isLeapYear

    public boolean isLeapYear(long prolepticYear)
    Checks if the specified year is a leap year.

    Minguo leap years occur exactly in line with ISO leap years. This method does not validate the year passed in, and only has a well-defined result for years in the supported range.

    Specified by:
      `isLeapYear` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `prolepticYear` - the proleptic-year to check, not validated for range
    Returns:
      true if the year is a leap year

  - ### prolepticYear

    public int prolepticYear(Era era, int yearOfEra)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Calculates the proleptic-year given the era and year-of-era.

    This combines the era and year-of-era into the single proleptic-year field.

    If the chronology makes active use of eras, such as `JapaneseChronology` then the year-of-era will be validated against the era. For other chronologies, validation is optional.

    Specified by:
      `prolepticYear` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `era` - the era of the correct type for the chronology, not null
      `yearOfEra` - the chronology year-of-era
    Returns:
      the proleptic-year

  - ### eraOf

    public MinguoEra eraOf(int eraValue)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Creates the chronology era object from the numeric value.

    The era is, conceptually, the largest division of the time-line. Most calendar systems have a single epoch dividing the time-line into two eras. However, some have multiple eras, such as one for the reign of each leader. The exact meaning is determined by the chronology according to the following constraints.

    The era in use at 1970-01-01 must have the value 1. Later eras must have sequentially higher values. Earlier eras must have sequentially lower values. Each chronology must refer to an enum or similar singleton to provide the era values.

    This method returns the singleton era of the correct type for the specified era value.

    Specified by:
      `eraOf` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `eraValue` - the era value
    Returns:
      the calendar system era, not null

  - ### eras

    public List<Era> eras()
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Gets the list of eras for the chronology.

    Most calendar systems have an era, within which the year has meaning. If the calendar system does not support the concept of eras, an empty list must be returned.

    Specified by:
      `eras` in interface `Chronology`
    Returns:
      the list of eras for the chronology, may be immutable, not null

  - ### range

    public ValueRange range(ChronoField field)
    Description copied from interface: `Chronology`
    Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

    All fields can be expressed as a `long` integer. This method returns an object that describes the valid range for that value.

    Note that the result only describes the minimum and maximum valid values and it is important not to read too much into them. For example, there could be values within the range that are invalid for the field.

    This method will return a result whether or not the chronology supports the field.

    Specified by:
      `range` in interface `Chronology`
    Parameters:
      `field` - the field to get the range for, not null
    Returns:
      the range of valid values for the field, not null

  - ### resolveDate

    public MinguoDate resolveDate(Map<TemporalField, Long> fieldValues, ResolverStyle resolverStyle)
    Description copied from class: `AbstractChronology`
    Resolves parsed `ChronoField` values into a date during parsing.

    Most `TemporalField` implementations are resolved using the resolve method on the field. By contrast, the `ChronoField` class defines fields that only have meaning relative to the chronology. As such, `ChronoField` date fields are resolved here in the context of a specific chronology.

    `ChronoField` instances are resolved by this method, which may be overridden in subclasses.

    - `EPOCH_DAY` - If present, this is converted to a date and all other date fields are then cross-checked against the date.
    - `PROLEPTIC_MONTH` - If present, then it is split into the `YEAR` and `MONTH_OF_YEAR`. If the mode is strict or smart then the field is validated.
    - `YEAR_OF_ERA` and `ERA` - If both are present, then they are combined to form a `YEAR`. In lenient mode, the `YEAR_OF_ERA` range is not validated, in smart and strict mode it is. The `ERA` is validated for range in all three modes. If only the `YEAR_OF_ERA` is present, and the mode is smart or lenient, then the last available era is assumed. In strict mode, no era is assumed and the `YEAR_OF_ERA` is left untouched. If only the `ERA` is present, then it is left untouched.
    - `YEAR`, `MONTH_OF_YEAR` and `DAY_OF_MONTH` - If all three are present, then they are combined to form a date. In all three modes, the `YEAR` is validated. If the mode is smart or strict, then the month and day are validated. If the mode is lenient, then the date is combined in a manner equivalent to creating a date on the first day of the first month in the requested year, then adding the difference in months, then the difference in days. If the mode is smart, and the day-of-month is greater than the maximum for the year-month, then the day-of-month is adjusted to the last day-of-month. If the mode is strict, then the three fields must form a valid date.
    - `YEAR` and `DAY_OF_YEAR` - If both are present, then they are combined to form a date. In all three modes, the `YEAR` is validated. If the mode is lenient, then the date is combined in a manner equivalent to creating a date on the first day of the requested year, then adding the difference in days. If the mode is smart or strict, then the two fields must form a valid date.
    - `YEAR`, `MONTH_OF_YEAR`, `ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH` and `ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH` - If all four are present, then they are combined to form a date. In all three modes, the `YEAR` is validated. If the mode is lenient, then the date is combined in a manner equivalent to creating a date on the first day of the first month in the requested year, then adding the difference in months, then the difference in weeks, then in days. If the mode is smart or strict, then the all four fields are validated to their outer ranges. The date is then combined in a manner equivalent to creating a date on the first day of the requested year and month, then adding the amount in weeks and days to reach their values. If the mode is strict, the date is additionally validated to check that the day and week adjustment did not change the month.
    - `YEAR`, `MONTH_OF_YEAR`, `ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH` and `DAY_OF_WEEK` - If all four are present, then they are combined to form a date. The approach is the same as described above for years, months and weeks in `ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH`. The day-of-week is adjusted as the next or same matching day-of-week once the years, months and weeks have been handled.
    - `YEAR`, `ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_YEAR` and `ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_YEAR` - If all three are present, then they are combined to form a date. In all three modes, the `YEAR` is validated. If the mode is lenient, then the date is combined in a manner equivalent to creating a date on the first day of the requested year, then adding the difference in weeks, then in days. If the mode is smart or strict, then the all three fields are validated to their outer ranges. The date is then combined in a manner equivalent to creating a date on the first day of the requested year, then adding the amount in weeks and days to reach their values. If the mode is strict, the date is additionally validated to check that the day and week adjustment did not change the year.
    - `YEAR`, `ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_YEAR` and `DAY_OF_WEEK` - If all three are present, then they are combined to form a date. The approach is the same as described above for years and weeks in `ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_YEAR`. The day-of-week is adjusted as the next or same matching day-of-week once the years and weeks have been handled.

    The default implementation is suitable for most calendar systems. If `ChronoField.YEAR_OF_ERA` is found without an `ChronoField.ERA` then the last era in `Chronology.eras()` is used. The implementation assumes a 7 day week, that the first day-of-month has the value 1, that first day-of-year has the value 1, and that the first of the month and year always exists.

    Specified by:
      `resolveDate` in interface `Chronology`
    Overrides:
      `resolveDate` in class `AbstractChronology`
    Parameters:
      `fieldValues` - the map of fields to values, which can be updated, not null
      `resolverStyle` - the requested type of resolve, not null
    Returns:
      the resolved date, null if insufficient information to create a date
