The origin of New Year's Day: four seasons, New Year's Day, longevity and early spring.

China's New Year's Day is said to have started in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 3,000 years. The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the Book of Jin: "It is actually the spring of New Year's Day when the emperor was transferred to the first month." In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Elegance in the Southern Dynasties" also recorded "New Year's Day in four seasons, long life in early spring".

China first called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day". Meta means "early" and "beginning" and refers to "day". Together, New Year's Day is the first day of the year. The date of the first day of the first month was also very different before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the New Year's Day of the past dynasties is not consistent. Meng Xiyue (1 month) is the first month of the Xia calendar, the twelfth month of the Shang lunar calendar (1February) and the winter month of the week calendar (1 1 month). After Qin Shihuang unified China, Yangchun month (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 Meng Xiyue (January) is the first month, and Meng Xiyue (the first day of the first month in the summer calendar) is called New Year's Day, which has been used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. But this is the summer calendar, that is, the lunar calendar or lunar calendar, and it is not what we call New Year's Day today.

In A.D. 19 1 1, the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. In order to "follow the agricultural season, so follow the western calendar, so do statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used as 19 12), and stipulated that Gregorian calendar 1 was called "New Year's Day", but not "New Year's Day".

Today's "New Year's Day" is the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27th, A.D. 1949. When we decided to establish the Republic of China, we also decided to adopt the universal calendar, officially designated the Gregorian calendar 1 as "New Year's Day" and changed the first day of the first lunar month to "Spring Festival".

Why is 1 month 1 day called New Year's Day?

Around 50,000 BC, the ancient Egyptians had changed from nomadism to farming and settled on both sides of the Nile, and their agricultural harvest was closely related to whether there was a flood in the Nile. Through long-term observation, the ancient Egyptians found that the time of Nile flooding was regular, so they recorded this time on bamboo poles every time, and learned that the time interval between two floods was about 3.65 days. At the same time, it was found that when the Nile came near Cairo at high tide today, the sun and Sirius rose from the horizon at the same time.

Therefore, the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of New Year's Day.

New Year's Day is a compound word in Chinese, and "yuan" means beginning or first. "Dan" is a hieroglyph, which means that the sun rises from the horizon. The pictograph "Dan" appeared on bronzes in China during the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

"Yuan" has the meaning of beginning, "Dan" refers to the time of dawn and also refers to a day. New Year's Day is the first day of the year. The word "New Year's Day" comes from Xiao Ziyun's poem "Jieya" in the Southern Dynasties: "Four Qi New Year's Day, long life." In the Song Dynasty, Wu's Meng Lianglu recorded the first month: "The first day of the first month is called New Year's Day, commonly known as the first day of the New Year's Day." First of all, this is the first year's festival. "New Year's Day is called" Yuanri "in Shu Shun Dian and" Jacky "in Cui Yuan's Ming of Chai Sanzi in Han Dynasty; In the Jin Dynasty, Yu interpreted Yang Du as ""; The Northern Qi Dynasty called it "Yuan Chun" in Huangxia Ci of Hui Yuan Ge Xiang. Tang Dezong Shili called it "Yuan Shuo" in the poem "Yuan Ri retired from the DPRK to watch the war and return to camp". New Year's Day refers to the first day of the first month of the summer calendar. There are different names in Chinese dialects, such as "New Year's Day", "Big Day" and "New Year's Day", which are generally called "the first day of the first month".
