Our junior high school history textbooks clearly point out that 84 BC1year, known as the first year of the Republic, is the beginning of a clear Gregorian calendar year in China history.
In 84 1 year BC, Zhou Liwang, the ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty, exercised tyranny. The civilians and middle and small aristocrats in the capital couldn't bear it, rose up and rebelled, and drove Zhou Liwang out of the capital.
At that time, there was a saying that princes were "harmonious but different", so they were abbreviated as "republics"; Another way of saying it is that ministers and Mu Gong are in power together (to be more accurate, Zhou and Mu Gong are called tigers), so they take the meaning of "co-governance" and call it "republic".
Since 84 BC1year, all the events recorded in Chinese history have been clearly recorded in the form of chronology. The length of each monarch's reign can be completely related to the important historical events that occur every year during his reign.
Before 84 1 year BC, the historical events in China were incomplete, especially the records of historical events in several years were blank, so these historical records were not considered as credible evidence traditionally. At the end of the 20th century, China's "Xia Shang Zhou Dating Project" made up for this deficiency to some extent.
Extended data:
Ancient chronology:
1, main branch year
Dating method of one-to-one correspondence between "heavenly stems" and "earthly branches" Characterized in that:
A, heavenly stems and earthly branches each forms a Gregorian calendar year, such as "Jiazi Year" and "Renwu Year".
B, heavenly stems and earthly branches collocation is always singular to singular, even to even, it is impossible to even and odd combination.
C, 60-year cycle, cycle after cycle.
2. Year number and year
Since the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, emperors have had year numbers when they acceded to the throne, and then they used the year numbers to mark the years.
Such as: the first year of Kangxi. Yueyang Tower records four years of Qingli Spring, Pipa Tour, Ten Years of Yuanhe, Visiting Baochan Mountain, July of the first year of Yuanhe, Seven years of Yuanfeng in Shi Zhongshan, Meihualing in the second year of Shunzhi, and Deyou in the second year.
3. the year of the maharaja
A chronological method used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as Zuo Zhuan written by Zhao Haoqi Huiwen in the 16th year. The Battle of Dice: "In the spring of thirty-three years, the Qin Dynasty crossed the North Gate of Zhou Dynasty." I stayed in Lu Xigong for thirty-three years. Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru: "In the sixteenth year of Huiwen, Lian Po was General Zhao."
Chronology of the Republic of China: 19 12 After the founding of the Republic of China, 19 12 was designated as the first year of the Republic of China. Since then, there has been the Republic of China Law.
4. The year number is both a branch and a branch.
When the year is numbered, the emperor's year is put in front, and the cadres and branches are listed behind.
For example, "Yangzhou Slow", "Xichun Shen Bing" and "Xichun" are Zhao Shen and Song Xiaozong.
Year number, "Shen Bing" is the year of the main branch; In the story of Nuclear Ship, "Apocalypse is the autumn day in Ren Xu", "Apocalypse" is the year number of Zhu Youxiao, and "Ren Xu" is the dry year.
In Sacrifice to Sister Wen Kuangganlong and Ding Haidong, "Gan Long" is the title of Hongli of Qing Emperor Aisingiorro, and "Ding Hai" is the year of dry support; Ji Ling, a plum blossom, is in April of the second year of Shunzhi. Shunzhi is the title of Aisingiorro Fu Lin, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and Yiyou is the year of dry.
