Which country's holiday is New Year's Day

New Year's Day was first a Chinese holiday.

In the calendar, it is customary to say that the Earth's orbit around the sun is 1 week for 1 year. However, since the earth's orbit around the sun does not have a fixed beginning and end, the beginning and end of the year are artificially defined, which has led to inconsistencies in various calendars. According to legend, the term "New Year's Day" came from Zhuan Xu, one of the earliest emperors of China, who stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar would be "New Year" and the first day of the lunar year would be "New Year's Day". He stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar would be "Yuan" and the first day would be "Dan". Later, some dynasties have changed the date of New Year's Day, but in principle, the first day of the year for New Year's Day, such as the Xia Dynasty to the first day of the first month of the New Year's Day, but the Shang Dynasty to the first day of the 12th month of the New Year's Day, while the Zhou Dynasty to the first day of the 11th month of the first day of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first day of the 10th month of the first month of the Qin Dynasty. Until the Western Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu, the great historian Sima Qian and others to re-establish the calendar, and provide for the first day of the first month of each year for the New Year's Day, and from then on through the generations did not change.

After the success of the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, it was decided to adopt the internationally recognized Gregorian calendar, so the lunar New Year's Day was changed to "Chinese New Year", and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was called New Year's Day. At the time of the founding of New China, the "A.D. Calendar" was officially used, and January 1 of each year was designated as New Year's Day on the Gregorian calendar.

Nowadays, most of the countries in the world celebrate January 1 as New Year's Day, because they mostly adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar. But there are some countries and nationalities due to local calendar traditions and religious beliefs, customs, seasons and climatic differences, and thus their New Year's Day date is not the same, which also makes the world colorful, more national characteristics.
