<< review queue entry 29825 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Upon its foundation, the Republic of China adopted the Western calendar in 1912 and the translated term was 西元 (lit. Western Era). Later, in 1949, the People's Republic of China reiterated the use of the Gregorian calendar and accepted the term gōngyuán (公元, lit. Common Era). However, despite the different names, the dating scheme remains the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Christ#Common_Era |
