China chronology method
1949 On September 27th, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference unanimously adopted the AD calendar year in People's Republic of China (PRC).
This chronological system began to be adopted by European countries. China adopted the Gregorian calendar month and day (19 12) one year after the Revolution of 1911, but at the same time adopted the year of the Republic of China.
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.
On September 27th, the second of the four resolutions adopted at the first plenary session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference was: "The year number of People's Republic of China (PRC) adopts AD".
