When did China begin to use the solar calendar?
In China, as early as 4000 BC, it had its own calendar. From the day of the Yellow Emperor, in a long historical period, China used the "chronology of trunk branches", that is, the ten-day trunk and the twelve-day branch were combined separately, and every 60 years was a cycle. Up to now, (20 18) is the traditional calendar of China kaiyuan 47 15.
2. China adopted the solar calendar from 19 12. The year after the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911 (19 12), the then government of the Republic of China adopted the Gregorian calendar as its national calendar. In chronology, the chronology of the AD is parallel to that of the Republic of China.
1949 On September 27th, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference passed that the newly established People's Republic of China (PRC) adopted the Gregorian calendar and the Gregorian calendar year commonly used by most countries in the international community. However, the lunar calendar has not been abolished. Today, traditional festivals in China are based on the lunar calendar.
Extended data
During the Republic of China, there were two sets of calendars, one was the solar calendar and the other was the lunar calendar. It turns out that since the Revolution of 1911, the new government in the south has mainly promoted the solar calendar and abolished the lunar calendar. By 1928, the Northern Expedition was won, the warlords fell, the Kuomintang basically unified the north and the south, and the slogan of abolishing the lunar calendar was even louder. High-level leaders and new school people almost regard the lunar calendar and all traditional festivals as feudal symbols and stumbling blocks to social progress, insisting on sweeping them away, and even issued a "red-headed document" prohibiting everyone from celebrating holidays according to the lunar calendar and all festivals according to the solar calendar.
However, documents belong to documents, and tradition belongs to tradition. A few new schools celebrate New Year's Day, most old people still celebrate New Year's Day on the first day of the first month, and some friends are neither old nor new. New Year's Day is also Spring Festival, Spring Festival or Spring Festival. Worship ancestors twice a year, put up two sets of Spring Festival couplets and give out two rounds of lucky money. This was a great spectacle in the Republic of China, but it can't be seen now
