Which year AD is the second year of Hongwu?

The second year of Hongwu was 1369 AD.

After the fall of the Daxia regime, the Chu soldiers and villagers who stayed in Sichuan laid the foundation for the spread of Chu in Sichuan in the early Ming Dynasty and sowed the seeds of the ancestral origin of the Chu people in Sichuan. This is the origin of the memory of Chu people in Shu.

This is reflected in the fact that when later generations of Shu people traced the origin of their ancestors, they often said that the time of moving to Sichuan originated from the 2nd year of Hongwu (1369).

When the relocation activities that started in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties became a thing of the past and became a kind of historical sedimentation, people started to think about the origin of life and followed the proposition of "where do I come from?" , will naturally evoke understanding and memory of the past.

Because Xiaogan Township was the earliest in the history of "moving lakes to expand to Sichuan" since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, occupying the source position, it is the most famous and has the greatest influence.

Even by the mid-Ming Dynasty, although this geographical unit had long disappeared in Huguang, it had been preserved by Huguang immigrants and their descendants as a memory of their hometown in the Sichuan area where immigrants settled. And it has been passed down from generation to generation through oral instruction and written carriers.

Before the birth of Jesus, it is called Before Christ (B.C.). However, in order to downplay its religious overtones and avoid the resentment of non-Christians, most modern scholars have changed the terms "Common era" (abbreviated to C.E.) and "Before the Common Era" (abbreviated to B.C.E.).

The year after the Revolution of 1911 (1912), the then government of the Republic of China adopted the Gregorian calendar as the national calendar. In terms of chronology, the AD chronology was parallel to the Republic of China chronology.
