Definition
历 is a bound form (b.f.) that cannot stand alone as an independent word. It appears in compounds related to calendars and chronology, such as 日历 (calendar), 农历 (lunar calendar), and 历法 (calendar system). The character 历 is the simplified form of 曆 (calendar). Note that the same simplified character 历 also represents 歷 (experience/history), but this entry covers the calendar-related senses.
