This type of Japanese Style Big Wave Surfing Dragons Zip Shirt tee actually mattered during the Vietnam War, when the Communist North Vietnamese ordered an attack to occur on “the day after the Lunar New Year” in 1968 (the Tet Offensive). Traditionally, the Vietnamese lunar calendar was based on the longitude of Beijing (116.42 deg), which the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) continued to observe. However, in 1967, the North Vietnamese government adjusted their lunar calendar to follow standard UTC+7 time (105 deg), which was about 45 minutes 40 seconds behind the south’s. In 1968, the new moon marking the Lunar New Year occurred at 11:29pm on January 29 in the north, but at 12:15am on January 30 in the south. Because of the difference in calendars, the Viet Cong units with closer links to the north attacked on January 30 while those operating in Saigon and other areas of the south attacked on January 31. When Saigon fell in 1975, all of Vietnam was unified under the new lunar calendar. (I wonder whether anti-Communists in Vietnam and abroad continue to follow the traditional calendar.
