Is it cold on New Year's Day in 2024?

It was cold on New Year's Day in 2024.

Generally speaking, the weather is very cold on New Year's Day, because the lunar calendar on New Year's Day is between the end of 1 1 month and the beginning of1February, which is a cold winter. Although it is not the coldest time yet, the northern region has already ushered in heavy snow, and the southern region has continued to cool down, so the temperature on New Year's Day is roughly between the two, which is close to the temperature during the slight cold period and relatively cold.

In China, the word "Chinese New Year" has existed since ancient times, and the book of Jin first appeared in literary works. In the history of China, "New Year's Day" refers to "the first day of the first month". The calculation method of "the first month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and the date of New Year's Day (the first day of the first month) was also inconsistent.

China's concept of "New Year's Day" always refers to the first day of the first month, and the calculation method of "the first month" was also very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Therefore, New Year's Day and New Year's Day are also inconsistent. The summer calendar in Xia Dynasty takes January in spring as the first month, the lunar calendar in Shang Dynasty takes December in winter as the first month and the weekly calendar takes November in winter as the first month.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, October was the first month, that is, the first day of October was New Year's Day. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it has been stipulated that January in spring is the first month, and the first day of January is called New Year's Day, which has been used until the late Qing Dynasty.

The first day of the first month is called Chai Sanziming in Cui Yuan of Han Dynasty, Fu in Jin Dynasty, Song of the Emperor in Summer in Northern Qi Dynasty, and Yuan Shuo in Tang Dezong's poem Shi Li Gui Yuan Watching the War and Returning to Camp.
