Is the frog used to represent a year in the Chinese cycle of years?
No, The frog never represent a year in Chinese Cycle of Years.

And the last category, the animals that symbolized China -- Dragon, which is this year. Dragon symbolized prosperity and peace, so the Chinese Cycle of Years must have Dragon.
