   (days of the week in Chinese)   
      
   Monday - 星期一 (xīngqī yī)   
   Tuesday - 星期二 (xīngqī èr)   
   Wednesday - 星期三 (xīngqī sān)   
   Thursday - 星期四 (xīngqī sì)   
   Friday - 星期五 (xīngqī wǔ)   
   Saturday - 星期六 (xīngqī liù)   
   Sunday - 星期天 (xīngqī tiān) OR 星期日 (xīngqī rì)   
      
      
   I'm noticing that the number 7 is NOT used.   
   So, in this system, Sunday has the feel of a 0 (mod 7) -- reset to 0 ?   
      
      
    >>>   Monday as Start: The week starts with Monday being "星期一" (xīngqī   
   yī), which literally translates to "week one."   
      
      
   in the West, there is ambiguity about if a week starts on a Monday or Sunday   
      
      
    >>>    Sunday as the start: Traditionally, calendars often show Sunday   
   as the first day, reflecting religious practices where Sunday is the   
   start of the week.
