清代臺灣的紀年方式，可分為官方紀年與民間紀年兩大類。官方紀年以 帝王年號與在位年份連用以紀年，另由於清代臺灣特殊的時空背景，產生如 以羅馬字母拼寫官方紀年的新港文書，以及臺灣民主國另立年號但仍多用官 方紀年等特例。民間紀年則是存在於特殊情況下的紀年方式，如民變時自立 為王的領袖另立年號紀年，以及民間信仰受陰陽五行說影響而採用干支紀年 等。 清代臺灣的紀年方式有其背後的象徵意涵，採行皇帝年號紀年，可視 為一種服膺政權的象徵。此外，清代的中國與臺灣雖共同使用官方的年號紀 年，仍發展出不少與中國歧異之形式，此與臺灣「孤懸海外」的地理環境、 族群多元的文化經驗有關。

The ways of numbering the years in Qing Taiwan can be divided into the official calendar and civil calendar. The official calendar used reign titles of emperors and particular years to be on the throne to numbering the years because the background of Qing Taiwan, such as “the Sinckan Manuscripts” spelled the official calendar by Roman alphabet, as well as “The Republic of Formosa” created a separate reign but still used the official calendar of Qing Dynasty, etc. special case. Civil calendar existed under special circumstances, such as when popular revolts happened, the leader created a new reign to numbering the years and the folk beliefs adopted Lunar calendar from the impact of the Yin-Yang theory (陰陽五行說). The ways of numbering the years in Qing Taiwan had symbolic meaning behind it, adopting reign titles of emperors can be regarded as a symbol of adhering regime. In addition, although China and Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty jointly used the official calendar, but still developed a of many different forms with China because of the geographical environment and the multiculturalism in Taiwan.
