This MinguoDate calendar system is primarily used in Taiwan (Republic of China…)
(ISO) 1912-01-01 = 1-01-01 (Minguo ROC)
To convert the current date to the Minguo date, just subtracts the current year with number 1911, for example
2016 (ISO) - 1911 = 105 (Minguo ROC)
1. LocalDate -> MinguoDate
Review a full example to convert a LocalDate to MinguoDate
TestMinguoDate.java
package com.mkyong.date;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.chrono.MinguoDate;
public class TestMinguoDate {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// LocalDate -> MinguoDate
System.out.println("Example 1...");
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(1912, 1, 1);
MinguoDate minguo = MinguoDate.from(localDate);
System.out.println("LocalDate : " + localDate); //1912-01-01
System.out.println("MinguoDate : " + minguo); //1-01-01
// MinguoDate -> LocalDate
System.out.println("\nExample 2...");
MinguoDate minguo2 = MinguoDate.of(105, 8, 24);
//LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.ofEpochDay(minguo2.toEpochDay());
LocalDate localDate2 = LocalDate.from(minguo2);
System.out.println("MinguoDate : " + minguo2); //105-08-24
System.out.println("LocalDate : " + localDate2); //2016-08-24
}
}
Output
Example 1...
LocalDate : 1912-01-01
MinguoDate : Minguo ROC 1-01-01
Example 2...
MinguoDate : Minguo ROC 105-08-24
LocalDate : 2016-08-24
