The Calendar in the Spirit Library

Current date in the episode “The Library”: Yang Wu Era, Year of the Monkey

That calendar is really, really cool and so full of tiny details that I could kick myself for not paying closer attention to it earlier. It is the perfect example of why I am sad that there is no official book about all the hidden meanings and references they the creators and animators put in.

The calendar is divided into: Month, Day, Era and Zodiac/Year

We have had official names for the eras and I never noticed :(

The eras seem to not be regularly spaced (not the same length), but to correspond to the Avatar cycle i.e. a new cycle begins with each new Avatar. When the cycle of the 16 eras is complete, it can be assumed that it begins anew, just like months do.

Each radical* of the first character character of an era corresponds to the element of the Avatar (see picture).

* Radicals are the parts a single Chinese character is composed out of.

The years follow the Chinese Zodiac.

The months and days correspond to 12 months/31 days. It is not clear whether the calendar is lunar or solar.

Eras

1. 氜武 - Yang Wu: This is Aangs era

2. 淳泰 - Chun Tai - This is Korra’s era

3. 坧元 - Zhi Yuan

4. 烱裕 - Jiong Yu 

5. 氜隆 - Yang Long

6. 溢文 - Yi Wen 

7. 培治 - Pei Zhi 

8. 焜德 - Kun De 

9. 氲貞 - Yun Zhen 

10. 渪明 - Ru Ming 

11. 堯平 - Yao Ping 

12. 煬崇 - Yang Chong 

13. 氛安 - Fen An  

14. 漳順 - Zhang Shun 

15. 垣正 - Yuan Zheng 

16. 焯光 - Zhuo Guang - Roku’s era

Fun Fact: The Year of the Monkey is a gentle poke at Journey to the West, where the main character is a monkey. I’ve mentioned before how Aang’s journey has a lot in common with it.
