Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comparative calendar that juxtaposes the Chinese lunar calendar system with the Western solar calendar. It also offers an overview of notable foreign residents in the region, foreign consulates, and legations present in Hong Kong. The era used in Chinese histories, alongside a king's reign, is the oldest in current use, dating back over 2,600 years before the birth of Christ. Other calendars, like those of the Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, are also based on the Chinese sexagenary cyclical computation but use different starting dates. This book provides valuable context for understanding the historical development of East Asian calendars and their continued relevance in the present day.
