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.
Implementation Requirements:

This class is immutable and thread-safe.

    Description copied from class: 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.
    This implementation uses Chronology.dateNow(Clock).
    
    Overrides:
    
    dateNow in class 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 class: 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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    dateNow in class 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 class: 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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    dateNow in class 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 class: 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 class 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 class: 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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    localDateTime in class 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 class: 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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    zonedDateTime in class 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 class: Chronology
    
    Obtains a ChronoZonedDateTime in this chronology from an Instant.
    This obtains a zoned date-time with the same instant as that specified.
    
    Overrides:
    
    zonedDateTime in class 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 class 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 class: 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 class 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 Era eraOf(int eraValue)
```
    Description copied from class: 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 class Chronology
    
    Parameters:
    
    eraValue - the era value
    
    Returns:
    
    the calendar system era, not null
  - eras
```
public List<Era> eras()
```
    Description copied from class: 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 class Chronology
    
    Returns:
    
    the list of eras for the chronology, may be immutable, not null
  - range
```
public ValueRange range(ChronoField field)
```
    Description copied from class: 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 class Chronology
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - the field to get the range for, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the range of valid values for the field, not null
