Excuse me, what year was the first year of the emperor's era?

The era of the Yellow Emperor was used by China revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty. The era of the Yellow Emperor is based on the legendary Yellow Emperor, who is considered as the ancestor of China people.

In the 29th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1903), Liu published the Chronology of Huangdi in the National Daily, opposing the Chronology of Confucius advocated by Kang Youwei and other reformists. Liu advocated taking the birth year of Huangdi as the first year of the era, and 46 14 in the 29th year of Guangxu. However, the year of birth and death of the Yellow Emperor is not clearly recorded in the literature. Song advocated that the year of Guihai when the emperor ascended the throne was the first year of the era, and 1904 was the year of the Yellow Emperor in 4602. Revolutionary magazines headed by People's Daily, the organ newspaper of China League, adopted the era of the Yellow Emperor.

After Wuchang Uprising, Hubei military government adopted the era of the Yellow Emperor, and provincial governments followed suit. However, in the discussion of establishing a Republican government, the Huangdi era was considered to be based on the chronology of the emperor, which was not commensurate with the spirit of democratic republicanism.

After Sun Wen became the provisional president of the Republic of China, he announced that 165438+ 10/3 (1 912 65438+10/) in the Yellow Emperor era was designated as.
