The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in "Book of Jin": "Emperor Zhuanxu took the first month of summer as the beginning, but it was actually the spring of the New Year's Day." It was called "Yuanzheng" in "Inscription on Three Hairpins" by Cui Yuan of the Han Dynasty, "Yuanchen" in "Fu on Yangdu" by Yu Chan of the Jin Dynasty, "Yuanchun" in "Song of the Emperor's Summer at the Grand Festival" in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and "Yuanshuo" in the poem "Watching the Army Return to the Camp after the New Year's Day" by Li Shi, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty.
On September 27, 1949, when the decision was made to establish the People's Republic of China, it was also decided to adopt the world-wide Gregorian calendar, which we call the Gregorian calendar. New Year's Day refers to the first day of the year in the Western calendar. In order to distinguish the two New Years of the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar, and in view of the fact that the "Start of Spring" in the 24 solar terms falls around the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the first lunar month was renamed "Spring Festival", and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was designated as the beginning of the new year - "New Year's Day", and was included in the legal holidays, becoming a holiday for the people of the whole country.
