Maybe to foreigners but they love using the era for the year which doesn't really help anyone.
What eras do they have/use?
Each emperor (Japan) and Big Change (China), is given a name. You can look up the current japanese era. From a friend, the chinese (and others like Singapore, Macau, Taiwan) are also living in an era with its corresponding year.
