		In North Korea, however, this year is "Juche 88." That is because North Korea in 1995 scrapped the A.D. calendar and instead switched to the "Juche calendar." Juche is North Korea's policy of self-reliance as devised by North Korea's founder, Kim Il Sung.
		This year is Juche 88 because Kim Il Sung, who died in 1994, was born 88 years ago.
		So North Koreans will skip the world's millennium celebration and will mark their calendar year centennial in 2111.

		Another name for the Chinese calendar is the "Yin Calendar" (陰曆 yīnlì, 阴历), in reference to the lunar aspect of the calendar, whereas the Gregorian calendar is the "Yang Calendar" (陽曆 yánglì, 阳历) in reference to its solar properties.
		The Gregorian calendar was adopted by the nascent Republic of China effective January 1, 1912 for official business, but the general populace continued to use the traditional calendar.

		Sporadic Korean attempts to overthrow the Japanese were unsuccessful, and after 1919 a provisional Korean government, under Syngman Rhee, was established at Shanghai, China.

	Welcome to the Korean Cultural Service
		The Korean Peninsula, located in Northeast Asia, is bordered on the north by China and Vladivostock, Russia.
		The Korean Peninsula is 222,154 square kilometers, almost the same size as the U.K. or Romania.
		While by no means unvarying, these patterns occur with such a surprising degree of regularity, that it is not unusual for a Korean calendar to pinpoint, as if they were holidays, the hottest and coldest days of the year.

	South Korea: 2005 Calendar of Bank Holidays, Public Holidays, and National Holidays
		Korean Calendar Holidays : Both traditional Korean calendars (solar and lunar) posess a structure very similar to their Chinese counterparts.
		However, the Korean calendars use Seoul as a refernce point, rather than Beijing, to determine the date when a Korean lunar calendar or Korean Solar Celendar event occurs.
		This sometimes causes some holidays based on either of the Korean calendars to occur one day later than the corresponding Chinese date (this occurs, on average, in about 4% of the cases).
