The time of New Year's Day in the history of China is not uniform. When was Gregorian calendar 1+0 () officially designated as "New Year's Day"?

1 On September 27th, 949, the first China People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) officially established China1New Year's Day.

When we decided to establish People's Republic of China (PRC), we also decided to adopt the international calendar, that is, the solar calendar. New Year's Day refers to the first day of the first year of the year.

In order to distinguish between the two New Year's Days, and in view of the fact that the "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms is just around the first day of the first month of the summer calendar, the first day of the first month of the summer calendar was renamed as "Spring Festival", and the solar calendar 1 day was designated as the beginning of the new year-"New Year's Day", which was listed as a legal holiday and became a national legal holiday.

The custom of traditional New Year:

1, set off firecrackers

Setting off firecrackers is a traditional folk custom in China with a history of more than 2,000 years. According to legend, it was to drive away a monster named Nian. At midnight, the New Year bell rang and firecrackers shook the whole sky of China. In this "three yuan" moment of "year yuan, month yuan, time yuan", some places still set up "prosperous fire" in the courtyard to show prosperity, prosperity and auspiciousness.

2. ancestor worship

Sacrificing ancestors is a grand folk activity. New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Double Ninth Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival (except, Qing, Jiu and Yu) are the four major festivals for ancestor worship in Chinese traditional festivals. In ancient times, this custom was very popular. Due to different local customs and habits, the forms of ancestor worship are also different. China people have a tradition of pursuing the future with caution, and they will never forget to worship their ancestors on holidays.
