Please select one of the following time zone regions.
1) Beijing Time
2) Xinjiang Time
#? 1

The following information has been given:

    China
    Beijing Time

Therefore TZ='Asia/Shanghai' will be used.
Local time is now:  Sun Oct 23 17:56:15 CST 2016.
Universal Time is now:  Sun Oct 23 09:56:15 UTC 2016.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line TZ='Asia/Shanghai'; export TZ to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.

Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Asia/Shanghai

2 设置好后查看时间竟然没变，根据上面信息的最后说明，在profile中添加环境变量TZ=’Asia/Shanghai’

root@ubuntu:~# date -R    #查看时间和时区

root@ubuntu:~# vim /etc/profile        #编辑环境变量文件
root@ubuntu:~# source /etc/profile     #使环境变量立即生效
