The Origin of New Year's English Translation of Junior Middle School Composition

"Year" is not a concept of time at first, but refers to the cycle of crop growth, such as "five crops a year". In Xia Dynasty, China began to use "year" to express the meaning of time. Since the Xia Dynasty, different dynasties have used different calendars, so the start date of a year has changed. For example, the year of Xia Dynasty began in the first month, while the year of Qin Dynasty began in October. If the beginning of the year is not fixed, it is difficult to fix the customs of festivals.

"Year" is not a concept of time at first, but refers to the period of crop growth, such as "grain ripens into one year".

In Xia Dynasty, China began to use "year" to express the meaning of time. Since the Xia Dynasty, the calendars used in different dynasties were different, and the date of the first year changed accordingly.

For example, the first month of the year is the first month of Xia Dynasty, and the first month is October of Qin Dynasty. If the age is not fixed, it will be difficult to fix the custom of the New Year's Day.

In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (BC 104), the taichu calendar Law came out, which was a calendar of yin and yang. Taichu calendar defined the first month as the beginning of a year, which made the beginning of a year correspond to the beginning of the twenty-four solar terms.

In the first year of Emperor Wudi's reign (BC 104), taichu calendar was promulgated, which was a calendar of yin and yang.

In taichu calendar law, the first month is defined as the first year of a year, so the beginning of a year corresponds to the beginning of the 24 solar terms.

This provision is very conducive to arranging agricultural activities. Therefore, although the calendar was revised many times by later generations, the stipulation that "the first month is the first year" has always been used. The promulgation of "taichu calendar" has shaped the custom of Chinese New Year, passed down from generation to generation, and continues to this day.

Such regulations are very conducive to arranging agricultural activities. So, although later generations revised the calendar many times,

The law that "the first month is the first year of life" has always been used. The promulgation of "taichu calendar" stereotyped the custom of Chinese New Year.

And passed down from generation to generation, and it continues to this day.
