culture
Years in the traditional calendar pair one of ten Heavenly Stems with one of twelve Earthly Branches. 甲 is the first stem and 午 the seventh branch, the Horse, so every 甲午 year is a Year of the Horse: 1894, 1954, 2014 and next 2074.
history
Most often the word recalls 1894 and the 甲午战争, the First Sino-Japanese War, in which Japan destroyed the Qing's Beiyang Fleet. The 马关条约 that ended it in 1895 gave Taiwan to Japan.
