Or a foreign holiday?New Year's Day is neither a traditional Chinese festival nor a traditional foreign festival.New Year's Day is a worldwide holiday. "New Year's Day" usually refers to the first day of the first month in the calendar. In my country, the word "New Year's Day" has existed since ancient times, and it was first seen in the "Book of Jin" in literary works. "New Year's Day" in Chinese history refers to the "first day of the first lunar month". The calculation method of the "first lunar month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and the dates of New Year's Day (the first day of the first month) were not consistent in different dynasties. After the Revolution of 1911, 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 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". In 1949, the People's Republic of China adopted January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day, so "New Year's Day" is also known as the "Gregorian Year", "New Calendar Year" or "Gregorian Year" in China. Western New Year's Day: In 46 BC, Caesar of ancient Rome designated this day as the beginning of the Western New Year to bless the two-faced god "Janus", the door god in Roman mythology. "Janus" later evolved into the English word "January". So New Year’s Day is not a traditional Chinese festival. Introduction to the legend of New Year's DayDuring the prosperous era of Yao and Shun more than 4,000 years ago, Yao was diligent in his work and did many good things for the people. He was loved by the people. However, because his son was not talented and not very capable, he did not pass the leadership of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but passed it to Shun, who was both virtuous and talented. Yao said to Shun, “You must pass the throne well in the future, so that I can rest in peace after my death.” Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had made great contributions to flood control. Yu, like Shun, was close to the people and did many good things for the people, and was very loved. Later, people regarded the day when Emperor Shun offered sacrifices to the heaven and earth and the former Emperor Yao after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day", or "Yuan Zheng". It is said that this is the origin of the ancient "New Year's Day". |
