List of Chinese era names

This is a list of the Chinese era names used by the various dynasties and regimes in the history of China, sorted by monarch.

The English renditions of the era names in this list are based on the Hanyu Pinyin system.

However, some academic works utilize the Wade–Giles romanization.

For instance, the era of Zhenguan (貞觀) during the reign of the Emperor Taizong of Tang is rendered as Chen-kuan in Wade–Giles.

While not an era name, the Republic of China calendar is based on the era name system of Imperial China.
