Common card · No. 210339

The Republic of China calendar, often shortened to the ROC calendar or the Minguo calendar, is a calendar used in the Republic of China (ROC). The calendar uses 1912, the year of the establishment of the ROC in Nanjing, as year 1, making (2026) in the Gregorian calendar 115th in the Republic of China calendar. The ROC calendar is similar to the tradition of using the sovereign's era name and year of reign during the previous dynasties of China. Months and days are numbered according to the Gregorian calendar. The ROC calendar has been commonly used in the ROC since 1912, including in early official documents. The ROC calendar has been the official calendar used in Taiwan since 1945, and also adopted by overseas Chinese and Taiwanese communities. Chorographies and historical research published in mainland China covering the period between 1912 and 1949 also use the ROC calendar.
