In different times, the timing of New Year's Day varies from country to country. Now, the Gregorian calendar is increasingly recognized by countries all over the world. Most countries in the world have adopted the international Gregorian calendar.

Take 65438+ 10 month 1 every year as "New Year's Day". Countries that use the Gregorian calendar take Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/month as New Year's Day, which is a national holiday.

The word "New Year's Day" in the history of China first appeared in the Book of Jin. New Year's Day in China history refers to the first day of the first month.

The calculation method of "the first month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and the date of New Year's Day in previous dynasties was also inconsistent.

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.

After the Revolution of 1911, it was decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used 19 12) in the first year of the Republic of China, and it was stipulated that Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/0 was called "New Year's Day", but it was not called "New Year's Day".

1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) took 65438+ 10 1 as New Year's Day, so New Year's Day is also called "solar year", "new calendar year" or "Gregorian year" in China.
