Is New Year's Day a traditional festival in China?

New Year's Day is not a traditional festival in China, but a legal holiday. At the same time, New Year's Day is also the New Year of most countries in the world.

The word "New Year's Day" in the history of China first appeared in the Book of Jin. From the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, January of the lunar calendar was designated as the "first month", and the first day of January was called New Year's Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. When New China was founded, the "AD Chronology Law" was officially used, and the annual Gregorian calendar 1 was designated as New Year's Day. And included in the legal holiday, become a national holiday. Take a holiday for one day, and then adjust it frequently on the weekend before or after the holiday, usually for three days in a row. 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.
