What day is the New Year's Day in 2018? What are the traditions of celebrating New Year’s Day?
As we all know, New Year's Day is the beginning of the new year, so it is on January 1st in the Gregorian calendar. However, many people are more concerned about the lunar date of New Year's Day. So what day is New Year's Day in 2018? In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, whether it is weddings or family affairs, everything is happy. The Fortune Teller website brings you the blessings of the winter month to bring you auspicious warmth. I wish you all the best!What day is the New Year's Day in 2018?New Year's Day is a universal holiday set on the first day of each year in the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, New Year's Day 2018 is on January 1, 2018, which is the 15th day of the eleventh lunar month , which happens to be a Monday. But according to convention, people should be able to enjoy the New Year's Day holiday on that day.Source: On September 27, 1949, the First Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, while deciding to establish the People's Republic of China, also decided to adopt the world's universal Gregorian calendar, which we call the Gregorian calendar. From then on, New Year's Day refers to the first day of the year in the Western calendar. In order to distinguish the lunar and solar new years, and in view of the fact that the "Beginning of Spring" 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 Gregorian calendar was designated as the beginning of the new year, which is now what we call "New Year's Day", and was included in the legal holidays, becoming a holiday for the people of the whole country. New Year's Day in modern China has become a national holiday according to the Chinese government's inclusion of it as a legal holiday. After a one-day holiday, the day before or after the weekend is often adjusted, and the general rule is to have three consecutive days of rest. In modern China, the celebration of New Year's Day is relatively smaller than that of the Spring Festival, but in general government agencies and enterprises, collective celebrations are held at the end of the year, and when people meet each other, they will often say New Year's greetings to each other. What are the traditions of celebrating New Year’s Day?Method 1: It is known throughout China and even the whole world that many countries have designated New Year's Day as a legal holiday and have holidays on this day. After the founding of New China, New Year's Day was also designated as a legal holiday with one day off.Method 2: The traditional Chinese way of celebration is preserved among the people, especially in rural areas. Every New Year’s Day, every household would set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and after paying homage to various gods, the family would reunite and have a meal together. As for more intense forms of celebration, I haven't seen any yet. Method three: What is more common now is activities organized by groups, such as New Year’s Day parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year’s Day, or holding collective activities. In the past, people organized themselves to beat drums and gongs and perform folk dances together, and you can still see them on TV documentaries. With the development of technology today, it has evolved into a gala or something like that. In recent years, there have been programs such as traveling and gatherings. Anyway, there are not many traditions on New Year's Day. It's a holiday on this day and you can have fun however you want. In fact, New Year's Day only means a one-day holiday for the younger generation. |
