373 # Beijing (which was implemented in 1949). Briefly, there was also a |
346 # to use UT+8. As the Shanghai radio station (and I presume the |
374 # "Lhasa Time" in Tibet and "Urumqi Time" in Xinjiang. The first was |
347 # observatory) was still under control of French missionaries, it |

378 # There seems to be a good chance China switched to a single time zone in 1949 |
351 # Guo Qing-sheng (Shaanxi Astronomical Observatory, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China) |
379 # rather than in 1980 as Shanks & Pottenger have it, but we don't have a |

380 # reliable documentary source saying so yet, so for now we still go with |
353 # [undated and unknown publication location] |
381 # Shanks & Pottenger. |
354 # It says several things: |
382 |
355 # * The Qing dynasty used local apparent solar time throughout China. |
383 # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] |
356 # * The Republic of China instituted Beijing mean solar time effective |
384 # Changbai Time ("Long-white Time", Long-white = Heilongjiang area) |
357 # the official calendar book of 1914. |
358 # * The French Concession in Shanghai set up signal stations in |
|
359 # French docks in the 1890s, controled by Xujiahui (Zikawei) |
|
360 # Obervatory and set to local mean time. |
|
361 # * "From the end of the 19th century" it changed to UT+8. |
|
362 # * Chinese Customs (by then reduced to a tool of foreign powers) |
|
363 # eventually standardized on this time for all ports, and it |
|
364 # became used by railways as well. |
|
365 # * In 1918 the Central Observatory proposed dividing China into |
|
366 # five time zones (see below for details). This caught on |
|
367 # at first only in coastal areas observing UT+8. |
|
368 # * During WWII all of China was in theory was at UT+7. In practice |
|
369 # this was ignored in the west, and I presume was ignored in |
|
370 # Japanese-occupied territory. |
|
371 # * Japanese-occupied Manchuria was at UT+9, i.e., Japan time. |
|
372 # * The five-zone plan was resurrected after WWII and officially put into |
|
373 # place (with some modifications) in March 1948. It's not clear |
|
374 # how well it was observed in areas under Nationalist control. |
|
375 # * The People's Liberation Army used UT+8 during the civil war. |

|
377 # An AP article "Shanghai Internat'l Area Little Changed" in the |

|
379 # different - the occupied districts going by Tokyo time, an hour |

|
483 # report regarding Xinjiang, as well as the Time article reference by David |

493 # From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30): |

494 # In the early days of the PRC, Tibet was given its own time zone (UT+6) but |

|
503 # Unfortunately, we have no good records of time in Xinjiang before 1986. |

504 # During the 20th century parts of Xinjiang were ruled by the Qing dyansty, |

|
651 |
|
652 # From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02): |
|
653 # I've found more evidence about when the time zone was switched from UTC+9 |
|
654 # back to UTC+8 after WW2. I believe it was on Sep 21, 1945. In a document |
|
655 # during Japanese era [1] in which the officer told the staff to change time |
|
656 # zone back to Western Standard Time (UTC+8) on Sep 21. And in another |
|
657 # history page of National Cheng Kung University [2], on Sep 21 there is a |
|
658 # note "from today, switch back to Western Standard Time". From these two |
|
659 # materials, I believe that the time zone change happened on Sep 21. And |
|
660 # today I have found another monthly journal called "The Astronomical Herald" |
|
661 # from The Astronomical Society of Japan [3] in which it mentioned the fact |
|
662 # that: |
|
663 # |
|
664 # 1. Standard Time of the Country (Japan) was adopted on Jan 1, 1888, using |
|
665 # the time at 135E (GMT+9) |
|
666 # |
|
667 # 2. Standard Time of the Country was renamed to Central Standard Time, on Jan |
|
668 # 1, 1898, and on the same day, the new territories Taiwan and Penghu islands, |
|
669 # as well as Yaeyama and Miyako islands, adopted a new time zone called |
|
670 # Western Standard Time, which is in GMT+8. |
|
671 # |
|
672 # 3. Western Standard Time was deprecated on Sep 30, 1937. From then all the |
|
673 # territories of Japan adopted the same time zone, which is Central Standard |
|
674 # Time. |

684 # I finally have found the real official gazette about changing back to |

685 # Western Standard Time on Sep 21 in Taiwan. It's Taiwan Governor-General |
|
686 # Bulletin No. 386 in Showa 20 years (1945), published on Sep 19, 1945. [1] ... |
|
687 # [It] abolishes Bulletin No. 207 in Showa 12 years (1937), which is a local |
|
688 # bulletin in Taiwan for that Ordinance No. 529. It also mentioned that 1am on |
|
689 # Sep 21, 1945 will be 12am on Sep 21. I think this bulletin is much more |
|
690 # official than the one I mentioned in my first mail, because it's from the |

691 # top-level government in Taiwan. If you're going to quote any resource, this |

2435 # From Paul Eggert (2014-07-15): |
2436 # Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not |
|
2437 # standardized until relatively recently; we don't know when, and possibly it |
|
2438 # has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to |
|
2439 # modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines |
|
2440 # observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar |
|
2441 # time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12 |
|
2442 # o'clock for "Arab" time). |
|
2443 # |
|
2444 # The TZ database cannot represent quasi-solar time; airline time is the best |
|
2445 # we can do. The 1946 foreign air news digest of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics |
|
2446 # Board (OCLC 42299995) reported that the "... Arabian Government, inaugurated |
|
2447 # a weekly Dhahran-Cairo service, via the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and |
|
2448 # Jidda, on March 14, 1947". Shanks & Pottenger guessed 1950; go with the |
|
2449 # earlier date. |
|
2450 # |
|
2451 # Shanks & Pottenger also state that until 1968-05-01 Saudi Arabia had two |
|
2452 # time zones; the other zone, at UTC+4, was in the far eastern part of |
|
2453 # the country. Ignore this, as it's before our 1970 cutoff. |
