What is Shuang Dan Festival?

Shuang Dan Festival refers to New Year's Day and Christmas with similar dates. The names of these two festivals have the pronunciation of "Dan" and are called "Shuang Dan" for short.

Customs of New Year's Day:

1, New Year's Day in modern China, according to the China government, is listed as a legal holiday and becomes a national holiday. After a day's rest, we often adjust the weekend before or after that day, and usually have a three-day rest. In modern China, the celebration of New Year's Day is far less important than the Spring Festival. General organs and enterprises will hold year-end collective celebrations, and there are few folk activities.

2. After Yao's death, people took the day of offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and the first emperor Yao as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day" or "Jacky". There is also a legend that the first day of the first month (New Year's Day) began in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 5,000 years. It is said that this is the origin of the ancient Chinese New Year.

The Western New Year originated in 46 BC, and Caesar of ancient Rome designated this day as the beginning of the Western New Year. In order to bless Janus, the door god in Roman mythology, Janus later evolved into the word January in English.
