Do you know the origin of New Year's Day?

The New Year's Day in ancient China was not the "Gregorian calendar" commonly used today - January 1st of the Gregorian calendar.
From the Yin Dynasty, when the first day of the twelfth lunar month was designated as the beginning of the year, to the Han Dynasty, when the first day of the first lunar month was designated as the beginning of the year, there have been many repeated changes. During the Republic of China, when Sun Yat-sen took office as the provisional president in Nanjing in early January 1912, in order to "follow the farming season" and "facilitate statistics", he designated the first day of the first lunar month as the Spring Festival, and changed January 1 of the Gregorian calendar to "New Year", but it is still called "New Year's Day".
It was not until after liberation that the Central People's Government promulgated the unified "National Holidays and Anniversary Holidays Regulations", designated January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day, and decided to have a one-day holiday across the country.
At the same time, in order to distinguish the lunar new year and the Gregorian new year, and in view of the fact that the "Lichun" among the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar falls around the Lunar New Year, the first day of the first lunar month was renamed "Spring Festival".
