Who is New Year's Day commemorating?

New Year's Day is not a holiday to commemorate anyone, but a holiday to celebrate the beginning of the new year.
In fact, when it comes to New Year's Day, it can be traced back to the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. It is said that Emperor Yao at that time worked diligently for the people and did a lot of good things for the people throughout his life. However, Yao's son was a loser, so Yao did not pass the tribe to his son, but chose Shun, who had noble character and outstanding abilities. Before his death, Yao also instructed Shun to pass the throne to someone with both moral integrity and talent. After that, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had made great contributions to flood control. In fact, these leaders were all very kind to the people and did a lot of good things. Later, people regarded the day when Shun offered sacrifice to Yao as the beginning of the year, and the first day of the first lunar month was called "New Year's Day". This is the origin of New Year's Day.
