A regnal year is a year of the reign of a sovereign,from the Latin regnum meaning kingdom,rule. Regnal years considered the date as an ordinal,not a cardinal number. For example,a monarch could have a first year of rule,a second year of rule,a third year of rule,and so on,but not a zeroth year of rule.

Dual dating is the practice,in historical materials,of indicating a date with what appear to be duplicate or excessive digits:these may be separated by a hyphen or a slash,or placed one above the other. The need for dual dating arose from the transition from an older calendar to a newer one. Another method used is to give the date of an event according to one calendar,followed in parentheses by the date of the same event in the other calendar,appending an indicator to each to specify which reference calendar applies.
The Juche calendar,named after the Juche ideology,is the system of year-numbering used in North Korea. It begins with the birth of Kim Il Sung,the founder of North Korea.

Chinese era names,also known as reign mottos,were titles used by various Chinese dynasties and regimes in Imperial China for the purpose of year identification and numbering. The first monarch to adopt era names was the Emperor Wu of Han in 140 BCE,and this system remained the official method of year identification and numbering until the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912 CE,when the era name system was superseded by the Republic of China calendar. Other polities in the Sinosphere—Korea,Vietnam and Japan—also adopted the concept of era name as a result of Chinese politico-cultural influence.
The word "type" followed by a number is a common way to name a weapon or product in a production series,similar in meaning to "mark". "Type" was used extensively by the Japanese and Chinese militaries beginning in the 1920s,and is still in current use by the militaries of both nations. The United Kingdom uses a type number system for much of their military equipment. Many other nations use the word "type" to designate products in a series.

The Republic of China (ROC) began as a country in mainland China. It was established after the 1911 Revolution,which overthrew the Manchu-led Qing dynasty and ended China's imperial history. It was ruled by the Kuomintang (KMT) as a one-party state while headquartered in Nanjing from 1927 until its relocation to Taiwan on 7 December 1949,following its defeat by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the Chinese Civil War. The CCP proclaimed the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1 October 1949,while the ROC retains control over the "Taiwan Area" and the political status of Taiwan remains in dispute.

The adoption of the Gregorian Calendar has taken place in the history of most cultures and societies around the world,marking a change from one of various traditional dating systems to the contemporary system –the Gregorian calendar –which is widely used around the world today. Some states adopted the new calendar in 1582,others not before the early twentieth century,and others at various dates between. A few have yet to do so,but except for these,the Gregorian calendar is now the world's universal civil calendar,old style calendars remaining in use in religious or traditional contexts. During –and for some time after –the transition between systems,it has been common to use the terms "Old Style" and "New Style" when giving dates,to indicate which calendar was used to reckon them.
