What chronology do we use in China?

The year begins with the birth of Christ Jesus. Our country was founded in the Republic of China 19 12, and it began to use intertemporal system. Because of the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, we completely overthrew the feudal autocratic monarchy system, and because Dr. Sun Yat-sen was influenced by the new western ideas and proposed to measure time in the AD, we also officially started a time documentary similar to the Gregorian calendar. However, we have not given up our original opportunities and methods. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, new regulations were issued, and both methods were used at the same time. Then our new year is still according to the lunar calendar. Extended data

The calendar year of People's Republic of China (PRC) adopts the calendar year system of most countries in the world, which was decided at the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference in September 1949. At the meeting, everyone agreed to adopt the common calendar system in most countries in the modern world, that is, adopt AD as the calendar year of new China.

It began in the year when Jesus was born. In julian calendar and Gregorian calendars, the date after the birth of Jesus is called the principal year, Anodomini (AD) (Latin). Before the birth of Jesus, it was called "BC". However, in order to dilute its religious color and avoid causing antipathy among non-Christians, modern scholars mostly change its name to Common era (abbreviated as C.E.) before Common Era (abbreviated as B.C.E). In China, as early as 4000 BC, it had its own calendar. Starting from the Yellow Emperor's calendar, in a long historical period, China used the "trunk and branch chronology", that is, ten days of trunk and branch were combined separately with twelve days of trunk and branch, and every 60 years was a cycle. Since the starting point of the year is 1, most scientists who have a full understanding of the year and the most authoritative astronomical institutions in the world clearly support the statement that 2 1 century began at 200 1.
