A brief introduction to the origin of the New Year's Day on January 1st in the Gregorian calendar

《1》 originated from one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors: Zhuanxu <br />   He took the first month of the lunar calendar as the beginning of the year and the first day of the lunar month as the day of the year. "Yuan" means the first and the beginning, and "Dan" means the sun rising from the ground. "Yuan" and "Dan" together mean that people should greet the new year with vigor and vitality.
"2" "Book of Jin" and "Jie Ya" record:
The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the poem "Book of Jin": "Emperor Zhuanxu took the first month of summer as the beginning, which was actually the spring of the New Year's Day." During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a record in the poem "Jie Ya" by Xiao Ziyun of the Southern Dynasty: "Four seasons new New Year's Day, longevity in the early spring."
《3》The First People's Political Consultative Conference:
On September 27, 1949, the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference resolved: "The People's Republic of China shall adopt the Gregorian calendar," which is what we call the Gregorian calendar. In order to distinguish the two New Years of the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and in view of the fact that "Lichun" in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar falls around the Lunar New Year, the first day of the first lunar month was renamed "Spring Festival" and January 1 of the solar calendar was designated "New Year's Day."
——Dates of New Year’s Day in different dynasties:
The Xia calendar of the Xia Dynasty took the first month of spring as the first month, the Yin calendar of the Shang Dynasty took the twelfth month of winter as the first month, and the Zhou calendar of the Zhou Dynasty took the eleventh month of winter as the first month.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he took October in winter as the first month of the year, and the first day of October as New Year's Day.
Starting from Emperor Wu of Han, the first month of spring was designated as the first month of the year, and the first day of January was called New Year's Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
