	Chinese calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar formed by combining a purely lunar calendar with a solar calendar.
		Because Chinese dates are on firm ground beginning in 841 BC, the calendar of the early Zhou dynasty is known to have used arbitrary intercalations.
		Every other jiéqì of the Chinese solar year is equivalent to an entry of the sun into a sign of the tropical zodiac (a principle term or cusp).

	Chinese calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among Chinese, the calendar is not used for most day to day activities, but is used for the dating of holidays such as Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) and the Mid-Autumn Festival and for divination, including choosing the most auspicious date for a wedding or the grand opening of a building.
		The times of the astronomical new moons and the sun entering a zodiac sign are determined in the Chinese Time Zone by the Purple Mountain Observatory (紫金山天文台 Zǐjīnshān Tiānwéntái) outside Nanjing using modern astronomical equations.
		In Chinese astronomy, seasons are centered on the solstices and equinoxes, whereas in the standard Western definition, they begin at the solstices and equinoxes.

	Clouds hang low over Chinese WLAN standard \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2003-12-19 \| By Sumner Lemon and Stephen Lawson, IDG ...
		China's implementation of a national standard for wireless LANs (WLANs) is bad news for Chinese end-users and could signal the start of a renewed push to exert greater government control over encryption technology in the world's most populous country, according to U.S. industry groups.
		The Chinese WLAN standard, GB15629.11-2003, is very similar to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.'s (IEEE's) 802.11 standard, commonly known as Wireless Fidelity or Wi-Fi, but it uses a different security protocol developed locally, called WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI).
		Stevenson-Yang said the objectives of Chinese officials are outlined in Directive 237, which states that only government-approved encryption technology may be used by companies and individuals in China and prohibits the use of encryption technology developed overseas.

	International standard date and time notation
		A single leap second 23:59:60 is inserted into the UTC time scale every few years as announced by the International Earth Rotation Service in Paris, to keep UTC from wandering away more than 0.9 s from the less constant astronomical time scale UT1, which is defined by the actual rotation of the earth.
		In case an unambiguous representation of time is required, 00:00 is usually the preferred notation for midnight and not 24:00.
		Please consider the 12h time to be a relic from the dark ages when Roman numerals were used, the number zero had not yet been invented and analog clocks were the only known form of displaying a time.

		But the result was confusion, because time changed from state to state and even city to city.
		Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa remain on standard time year-round.

	Controversy over Chinese WLAN standard deepens
		The Chinese WLAN standard, called GB15629.11-2003, is very similar to the IEEE's 802.11 standard, commonly known as Wireless Fidelity or Wi-Fi, but it uses a different security protocol, called WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI).
		The Chinese standard for WLANs was approved by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) in May and came into effect on Dec. 1, although a transition period has been granted that extends the compliance deadline for some WLAN products until June 1, 2004.
		Seen as a whole, the implementation of the Chinese WLAN standard and the licensing requirements have fundamentally changed a market that had previously been open to foreign equipment vendors by creating a new barrier to trade, Stevenson-Yang said.

		The Chinese time announcement most commonly heard is the one on all mainland Chinese stations at top of the hour: here an example: "Bei3-jing1 shi2-jian1 shi2-san1 dian3-zheng4"
		Remember that in Chinese time is announced in 24 hour cyclus, so 1 pm becomes shi2-san1 dian3-zheng4 (13 o'clock).

		The Chinese Ministry of Information Industry allocated 155 MHz spectrum to TD-SCDMA in October 2002, paving the way for the commercial use of the standard in China.

	IEEE: Chinese security standard could fracture Wi-Fi \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2003-12-09 \| By Sumner Lemon, IDG News Service
		The implementation of a Chinese security standard for wireless networking could undermine efforts to develop a global standard for wireless LANs (WLANs) and drive up the cost of networking equipment for end users, warned a senior executive at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) in a recent letter to Chinese government officials.
		The Standardization Administration of China (SAC) announced the adoption of China's WLAN standard, called GB15629.11-2003, in May. While WLAN equipment sold in China is required to comply with this standard from Dec. 1, a transition period has been granted that extends the compliance deadline for some WLAN products until June 1, 2004.
		The Chinese WLAN standard is similar in many ways to IEEE's 802.11 wireless networking standard -- commonly known as Wireless Fidelity or Wi-Fi -- but it has one crucial difference: it uses a different security protocol, called WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI).

		Daojia is the pinyin Romanization for the Chinese characters which are the name for what is arguably the oldest of these two (see Romanization systems for Chinese terms).
		For almost 2,000 years, the Chinese text used by commentators in China and upon which all except the most recent Western language translations were based has been called the Wang Bi, after the commentator who used a complete edition of the DDJ sometime between 226-249 CE.
		By the time of the Tang dynasty (618-906 CE) Daoism was the intellectual philosophy that underwrote the national understanding.

		According to the TD-SCDMA Forum, a Chinese industry group, four 3G licenses are likely to be awarded by Beijing this year.
		Many analysts have speculated that China would delay the roll-out of 3G networks until at least the end of next year in order to give the Chinese standard a chance to compete with the European UMTS and the North American CDMA2000 1x standard.
		Both foreign standards are already being deployed or tested in a number of markets, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.
