To understand how to do this problem, you need to know that the Chinese calendar assigns one of twelve Zodiac signs to each year on a twelve-year cycle. Twelve does not go into 100 evenly.

Then you need to know that the first Year of the Ox in the 21st Century was 2009. That leaves 91 years left in the 21st Century.

Divide 91 by 12 and you get 7 (with a remainder of 8) additional full cycles for the Year of the Ox which will mean there are 8 Years of the Ox in the 21st Century.

That is different from the Year of the Snake (2001): 99 years left divided by 12 = 8 additional full cycles (with a remainder of three).... which means there are 9 Years of the Snake in the 21st Century. There will be 9 years each of the Horse (2002), Sheep (2003) and Monkey (2004). The rest of the Zodiac signs will have 8 years each: Rooster (2005), Dog (2006), Pig (2007), Rat (2008), Ox (2009), Tiger (2010), Rabbit (2011), Dragon (2012).

How many years between the 13th century to the 21st century?

The 13th century spans from the year 1201 to 1300, while the 21st century covers from 2001 to 2100. To calculate the years between the end of the 13th century and the start of the 21st century, subtract 1300 from 2001, which gives 701 years.
