| 366 367# From Luther Ma (2009-10-17): 368# Almost all (>99.9%) ethnic Chinese (properly ethnic Han) living in 369# Xinjiang use Chinese Standard Time. Some are aware of Xinjiang time, 370# but have no need of it. All planes, trains, and schools function on 371# what is called "Beijing time." When Han make an appointment in Chinese 372# they implicitly use Beijing time. 373# 374# On the other hand, ethnic Uyghurs, who make up about half the 375# population of Xinjiang, typically use "Xinjiang time" which is two 376# hours behind Beijing time, or UTC +0600. The government of the Xinjiang 377# Uyghur Autonomous Region, (XAUR, or just Xinjiang for short) as well as 378# local governments such as the Urumqi city government use both times in 379# publications, referring to what is popularly called Xinjiang time as 380# "Urumqi time." When Uyghurs make an appointment in the Uyghur language 381# they almost invariably use Xinjiang time. 382# 383# (Their ethnic Han compatriots would typically have no clue of its 384# widespread use, however, because so extremely few of them are fluent in 385# Uyghur, comparable to the number of Anglo-Americans fluent in Navajo.) 386# 387# (...As with the rest of China there was a brief interval ending in 1990 388# or 1991 when summer time was in use. The confusion was severe, with 389# the province not having dual times but four times in use at the same 390# time. Some areas remained on standard Xinjiang time or Beijing time and 391# others moving their clocks ahead.) 392# 393# ...an example of an official website using of Urumqi time. 394# 395# The first few lines of the Google translation of 396# <a href="http://www.fjysgl.gov.cn/show.aspx?id=2379&cid=39"> 397# http://www.fjysgl.gov.cn/show.aspx?id=2379&cid=39 398# </a> 399# (retrieved 2009-10-13) 400# > Urumqi fire seven people are missing the alleged losses of at least 401# > 500 million yuan 402# > 403# > (Reporter Dong Liu) the day before 20:20 or so (Urumqi Time 18:20), 404# > Urumqi City Department of International Plaza Luther Qiantang River 405# > burst fire. As of yesterday, 18:30, Urumqi City Fire officers and men 406# > have worked continuously for 22 hours... 407 408# From Luther Ma (2009-11-19): 409# With the risk of being redundant to previous answers these are the most common 410# English "transliterations" (w/o using non-English symbols): 411# 412# 1. Wulumuqi... 413# 2. Kashi... 414# 3. Urumqi... 415# 4. Kashgar... 416# ... 417# 5. It seems that Uyghurs in Urumqi has been using Xinjiang since at least the 418# 1960's. I know of one Han, now over 50, who grew up in the surrounding 419# countryside and used Xinjiang time as a child. 420# 421# 6. Likewise for Kashgar and the rest of south Xinjiang I don't know of any 422# start date for Xinjiang time. 423# 424# Without having access to local historical records, nor the ability to legally 425# publish them, I would go with October 1, 1949, when Xinjiang became the Uyghur 426# Autonomous Region under the PRC. (Before that Uyghurs, of course, would also 427# not be using Beijing time, but some local time.) 428 |
