    Lol China used to use “Year 1” right after Xinhai Revolution.

    Its “民国” (ROC) followed by the year number

    Example: 民国一年 ROC Year One (aka 1912)

    (ROC stand for Republic of China, btw)

    Then the communists kicked the KMT out, and I think the ROC government in exhile in Taiwan stopped using it.

      Actually it is still used. It’s everywhere in legal documents, government documents and stuff. Though people more commonly say 2024 instead of 民國113年.
