The origin of New Year's Day is that 1949 adopts the universal method of AD chronology and designates 1 on the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day.
"Yuan" means beginning, and "Dan" means dawn. New Year's Day (New Year's Day) is the first day of a year, also known as the "new calendar year" and "solar calendar year". New Year's Day is also called "three yuan", that is, year yuan, month yuan and hour yuan.
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".
There is no specific etiquette on New Year's Day, as usual.
The word "New Year's Day" in the history of China first appeared in the Book of Jin. In the history of China, "New Year's Day" means "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 in previous dynasties was also inconsistent. From the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, January of the lunar calendar was designated as the "first month", and the first day of January was called New Year's Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
After the Revolution of 1911, it was decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used 19 12) in the first year of the Republic of China, and it was stipulated that Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/0 was called "New Year's Day", but it was not called "New Year's Day". 1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC) takes Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/as New Year's Day, so New Year's Day is also called "solar calendar year", "new calendar year" or "Gregorian calendar year" in China.
In the eyes of ancient China people, "Yuan" means beginning; Dan means morning. According to historical records, in the history of China, "New Year's Day" has many appellations, such as Yuanri, Jacky, Chen Yuan, Kainian, Yuan Chun, Shangri-La and Huanian, but among many appellations, "New Year's Day" is the most common and the longest.
