What are the ways of dating in China?

A.D. started from the Han Dynasty in China, which was also the time of Liu Kan, the Emperor of Han Ping. In the first year of Yuan Dynasty, the last emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Ping, was in power.

If the years of the Western Han Dynasty are arranged according to the AD, they are between the first 26 and the AD 8. In foreign countries, it takes the year of the birth of Jesus as the beginning of the calendar.

On September 27th, 1949, after the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference, the newly established People's Republic of China adopted the Gregorian calendar and the AD, which are common in most countries in the international community, as its calendar and calendar year.

The Gregorian calendar was not used by Christian countries in Western Europe until the eighth century. Even the Pope has always used his reign to record documents for chronology.

it was not until the 11th and 14th centuries that the concept of the Western Yuan became popular. It was also the result of European colonization that AD became the mainstream of the world, and it also spread the Gregorian calendar and became an internationally accepted standard of chronology.

The calendar and calendar year of the People's Republic of China adopted the Western calendar year of most countries in the world, but still adopted the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, which was decided through consultation at the first plenary session in Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in September 1949.
