According to relevant historical records, the original name of the Spring Festival is "New Year's Day", and the word "Dan" is interpreted as "seeing the first day, the first day and the second day" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. It means that the sun has just risen from the horizon, which means morning, which is of great significance to people. There are also "New Year" and "Zheng Dan", for example, in the Sui Dynasty.

Du Taiqing once mentioned in "Five Candles Collection": "The first month is the end of the month, and one day is the January day, which is also a cloud and a cloud." The original meaning of "yuan" here is "head", which refers to the beginning of the new year, and then gradually extended to "start", because this day is the first day of the year and the first day of spring, and the first day of the first month is also called "three yuan" in history.

Because it is the first Shuori, it is also called "Yuanshuo". Song and Wu explained in Meng Lianglu: "The first month is the new year's day.".
