Festival introduction

Yuan means "start", and the beginning of each number is called "yuan"; Dan means "day"; New Year's Day means "the first day". "New Year's Day" usually refers to the first day of the first month in the calendar. In China, the word "Chinese New Year" has existed since ancient times, and it was first seen in the Book of Jin in literary works. The "New Year's Day" in the history of China refers to the "first day of the first month". The calculation method of the "first month" before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was very inconsistent, and the dates of New Year's Day (the first day of the first month) in previous dynasties were also inconsistent.

In order to "follow the summer, so 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 19 12), and stipulated that Gregorian calendar 1 was called "New Year's Day", but it was not called "New Year's Day". 1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) took 65438+ 10 1 as New Year's Day, so New Year's Day is also called "solar year", "new calendar year" or "Gregorian year" in China.
