Origin of New Year's Day:

The word "New Year's Day" that has existing documented records first appeared in "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." The method of calculating the first day of the first lunar month was not unified before the period of Emperor Wu of Han. Therefore, the month and day of New Year's Day are not consistent throughout the ages. The Xia calendar of the Xia Dynasty took the first month (January) as the first month, the Yin calendar of the Shang Dynasty took the twelfth month (December) as the first month, and the Zhou calendar of the Zhou Dynasty took the eleventh month (November) as the first month. After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he took the Yangchun month (October) as the first month, and the first day of October as New Year's Day.
Starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the first month of the lunar calendar was designated as the first month of the lunar calendar, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was called New Year's Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. In order to "follow the Xia calendar to follow the agricultural season and the Western calendar to facilitate statistics", the Gregorian calendar was decided to be used in the first year of the Republic of China (actually used in 1912), and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was designated as "New Year", but it was not called "New Year's Day". Representatives of provincial governors met in Nanjing and decided to use the Gregorian calendar, calling January 1 of the lunar calendar "Spring Festival" and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar "New Year's Day", but it was not officially announced at the time.
On January 1, 1912, the Republic of China was established and Sun Yat-sen took office as the provisional president in Nanjing. In his oath of office, Sun Yat-sen ended with "New Year's Day of the first year of the Republic of China." This is the origin of Chinese New Year's Day.
