New Year's Day is the first day of the year. The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the poem "Jie Ya" by Xiao Ziyun of the Southern Dynasties: "The four seasons are new on New Year's Day, and the beginning of longevity is today." In the "First Month" entry of Volume 1 of "Dreams of the Southern Song Dynasty" by Wu Zimu: "The first day of the first month is called New Year's Day, commonly known as the New Year. This is the first of the year's festivals." It was called "Yuan Zheng" in "Inscription on Three Hairpins" by Cui Yuan of the Han Dynasty; it was called "Yuan Chen" in "Ode to Yangdu" by Yu Chan of the Jin Dynasty; it was called "Yuan Chun" in "Song of the Emperor's Summer at the New Year's Festival" in the Northern Qi Dynasty; it was called "Yuan Shuo" in the poem "Watching the Army Return to the Camp after the Court on New Year's Day" by Li Shi, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty. Traditionally, New Year's Day refers to the first day of the first lunar month in the Xia calendar (lunar calendar, lunar calendar). It is called differently in different Chinese dialects. Some call it "the first day of the new year", some call it "the first day of the big day", some call it "the first day of the year", and it is generally called "the first day of the first lunar month".The date of New Year's Day has not been consistent throughout my country's history. In the Xia Dynasty, it was the first day of the first lunar month; in the Shang Dynasty, it was the first day of the twelfth lunar month; in the Zhou Dynasty, it was the first day of the eleventh lunar month; after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he decided to set the first day of October as New Year's Day, and this tradition has been followed by successive dynasties since then (Records of the Grand Historian). In the first year of the Taichu reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Sima Qian created the "Taichu calendar", which set the first day of the first lunar month as New Year's Day, the same as the regulations of the Xia Dynasty, so it was also called the "Xia calendar", which was used until the Xinhai Revolution. When the Republic of China was founded, Sun Yat-sen decided to follow the Xia calendar and agricultural seasons, and to use the Western calendar for statistics. He designated the first day of the first lunar month (New Year's Day) as the Spring Festival, and January 1 of the Western calendar as the New Year. In modern times, New Year's Day refers to the first day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. Since the Western calendar was introduced into my country, the term New Year's Day has been used specifically for the New Year, and the traditional old calendar year is called the Spring Festival. Before that, New Year's Day always referred to the first day of the lunar year. Yuan means "beginning" and Dan means "day". New Year's Day means "the first day", which is the first day of the year. 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". Since then, New Year's Day has become a happy festival for people across the country. Celebrating the beginning of the new year and spending New Year's Day happily is a common custom in all countries and regions around the world. In our country, it is also included as a legal holiday. my country and most countries and regions in the world adopt the Gregorian calendar and designate January 1 as the beginning of the new year, called "New Year's Day." Because countries around the world are located at different longitudes and have different times, the date of "New Year's Day" is also different. For example, the Pacific island country of Tonga is located on the west side of the International Date Line. It is the first place in the world where the day begins and the first country to celebrate New Year's Day. Western Samoa, located on the east side of the International Date Line, is the place in the world where the new day starts the latest. According to the Gregorian calendar, our country is the 12th country in the world to start the new year. |
