What date is New Year's Day, and when does it become a legal holiday?
New Year's Day now has become the beginning of the new year, but do you really know what day and month is New Year's Day and when it became a legal holiday? The editor will answer them one by one for you! Although there are no long holidays in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, November is here, so is the New Year far away? This winter, Mr. Shui Mo will accompany you in looking forward to the New Year and explain to you the good and bad luck every day in November of the lunar calendar in 2021.What date is New Year’s Day?As we all know, the calendar currently used in our country is the Gregorian calendar. After the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty, in order to "follow the Xia calendar to follow the agricultural season and the Western calendar to facilitate statistics", it was decided to use the Gregorian calendar as China's official calendar. January 1 was New Year's Day, and the first day of the first lunar month was designated as "Spring Festival". After the Communist Party founded the People's Republic of China, it basically continued to use the dual calendar system - the Gregorian calendar was used for official statistical days, and the lunar calendar was used for festivals.The Gregorian calendar, also known as the solar calendar or the Gregorian calendar, was promulgated and implemented by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. The Gregorian calendar is a complete solar calendar, which is calculated based on the period of the sun's orbit around the ecliptic. Although each year is also divided into 12 months, it has no corresponding relationship with the phases of the moon. The Earth's orbit around the sun is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. The average year in the Gregorian calendar is 365 days, so there is a leap year approximately every four years. However, 4 times 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds is not enough for a whole day, so there is one less leap year every 100 years. For further regulation, a leap year is added every 400 years. That is to say, there is a leap year every four years, no leap year every hundred years, and then a leap year every four hundred years. For example, generally speaking, any year that is divisible by 4 is a leap year, but 1900 is not a leap year, while 2000 is a leap year. So, the Gregorian calendar is basically a matter of calculating leap years. When did New Year's Day become a legal holiday?On September 27, 1949, the First Plenary Session of the First Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided to adopt the world-wide Gregorian calendar, which clearly distinguished the first day of the lunar calendar and the first day of the Gregorian calendar. The first day of the first lunar month was called "Spring Festival", and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was officially designated as "New Year's Day", and both were listed as legal holidays. The New Year's Day holiday was "born" during the Republic of China period. On January 1, 1912, the Republic of China was declared 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." So for us Chinese people, New Year's Day actually only has a short history of 72 years.2022 New Year's Day holiday schedule: The New Year's Day in 2022 falls on Saturday, so there is no adjustment for the holiday. Together with the weekend, the holiday time is January 1st to 3rd, a total of 3 days off.
