意味

The new calendar; the Gregorian (solar) calendar adopted in Japan in 1873, used in contrast to the traditional lunisolar 旧暦.

A noun distinguishing the Western Gregorian calendar from the traditional Japanese lunisolar system. Japan officially switched to 新暦 in Meiji 6 (1873) as part of the modernisation reforms. Most daily life, government, and business in modern Japan runs on 新暦, though traditional festivals and some regional events still follow 旧暦. Dates in the two systems typically differ by about one month.
