Throughout its many years of history, various calendar systems have been used in Korea. Many of them were adopted from the lunar Chinese calendar system,[1][2] with modifications occasionally made to accommodate Korea's geographic location and seasonal patterns.
The solar Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1896, by Gojong of Korea.[3] Koreans now mostly use the Gregorian calendar; however, traditional holidays and age-reckoning for older generations are still based on the traditional lunisolar calendar.
