During the Yu Shun period, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, October was stipulated as the first month. Qin calendar was used in the early Han Dynasty. In Xia Dynasty, January in Meng Chun was the first month. There are different opinions about the origin of the Spring Festival, but it is generally believed that the Spring Festival originated in the Yu Shun period.

The name of Nian began in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was not formally fixed until the Western Han Dynasty, and it continues to this day.

However, in ancient times, the first day of the first month was called "New Year's Day". Until the victory of the Revolution of 1911 in modern China, in order to conform to the farming season and facilitate statistics, the Nanjing Provisional Government stipulated that the people would use the summer calendar, and institutions, factories, mines, schools and organizations would adopt the solar calendar, with the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 day as New Year's Day and the first lunar month 1 day as the Spring Festival.
