The Origin and Information of New Year's Day

1, the origin of New Year's Day: China's ancient New Year's Day is not the current "Gregorian calendar"-Gregorian calendar 1. From the first day of the twelfth lunar month in Yin to the first day of the first lunar month in Han, there have been many repeated changes. During the period of the Republic of China, 19 12 and 1 When Sun Yat-sen took office as interim president in Nanjing at the beginning of the year, it was "timely farming" and "convenient statistics". The first day of the first lunar month is designated as the Spring Festival, and the first day of the solar calendar is changed to 1 as "New Year's Day", but it is still called "New Year's Day". It was not until after liberation that the Central People's Government promulgated and uniformly used "National Statutory Holidays and Remembrance Days", designated the Gregorian calendar 1 as New Year's Day, and decided to have a national holiday on this day. At the same time, in order to distinguish the two New Years, and in view of the fact that the "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar is just around the Lunar New Year, the first day of the first lunar month is called the "Spring Festival". New Year's Day custom: New Year's Day is the beginning of celebrating the New Year, which can be said to be the custom of New Year's Day in all countries and regions of the world. In China, New Year's Day is also listed as a legal holiday. China and most countries and regions in the world adopt the Gregorian calendar, and set 65438+ 10/0 as the beginning of the new year, which is called "New Year's Day". China pays less attention to New Year's Day than New Year's Day, so the custom of New Year's Day in China is to post "Celebrate New Year's Day".

2. As New Year's Day was born in People's Republic of China (PRC) and evolved from the Spring Festival, China just started to celebrate New Year's Day at that time. Of course, most of its customs and habits are similar to the Spring Festival, or a scaled-down version of the Spring Festival. After all, New Year's Day is not a traditional festival in China. Although it has followed some traditional ways of celebration, such as setting off firecrackers, killing three students, worshipping ghosts and gods, and offering sacrifices to ancestors, it has not been seen in people's minds what important position it will occupy. In modern times, the custom of Chinese New Year is even simpler.

It is known throughout China and even the whole world that many countries regard New Year's Day as the number one holiday and have a holiday on New Year's Day. After the founding of New China, it was also stipulated that New Year's Day was a legal holiday.

Nowadays, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Eve party, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, there were groups beating gongs and drums to dance folk dances, but now they can also be seen in TV documentaries. Today, science and technology have developed and evolved into a gala or something. In recent years, there have been tours, parties and other programs. Anyway, there is not much tradition on New Year's Day, so it becomes a holiday for everyone to play. Even New Year's Day only means a day's holiday for the younger generation.

5. Preserving China's traditional ways of celebrating is based on the people, especially in rural areas. Every new year's day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and worship the gods of all parties, which will be a family reunion dinner. As for a more intense way to celebrate, I haven't seen it yet.
