OK. Make it "term".

wiki says "terms"
https://guides.lib.unc.edu/chinese_bib/historical_resources this page does too (poss. from wiki)
  Comments:
To be clear, I want to change it from "year" to something else because it's really not just used for years. "Term" seems OK? I'll change the remaining 59 if this is approved.

I can live with it, but I preferred the "57th year".

Does the new wording on sense 1 look ok to everyone? I'll align the other 59 entries if so.
i.e.
Metal Monkey (57th of the sexagenary cycle, e.g. 1920, 1980, 2040)
