Their agricultural harvest was closely related to whether the Nile River flooded. The ancient Egyptians discovered from long-term observations that the time of the Nile flooding was regular. They recorded the time each time on bamboo poles, from which they learned that there was about 365 days between two floods. They also discovered that when the first rising tide of the Nile River reached the vicinity of today's Cairo, it was also the time when the sun and Sirius rose from the horizon at the same time. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of New Year's Day.In the calendar, people are accustomed to calling one revolution of the Earth around the sun one year. However, since the earth's revolution around the sun has no fixed starting point and end point, the starting point and end point of the year are artificially determined, which causes inconsistencies in various calendars. According to legend, the word "New Year's Day" came from one of the earliest emperors in my country, Zhuanxu, who stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar should be "Yuan" and the first day of the month should be "Dan". Later, some dynasties changed the date of New Year's Day, but in principle the first day of each year was still New Year's Day. For example, the Xia Dynasty set the first day of the first lunar month as New Year's Day, but the Shang Dynasty set the first day of December as New Year's Day, the Zhou Dynasty set the first day of November as New Year's Day, and the Qin Dynasty set the first day of October as New Year's Day. It was not until the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty that the great historian Sima Qian and others revised the calendar and stipulated that the first day of the first lunar month each year was New Year's Day, which has remained unchanged since then. After the success of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, it was decided to adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar, so the Lunar New Year's Day was changed to "Spring Festival", and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was called New Year's Day. When the People's Republic of China was founded, the "Gregorian calendar" was officially used, and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was designated as New Year's Day. |
