China's 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. Legend 2: In the heyday of Yao and Shun in ancient times more than 4,000 years ago, Yao worked diligently for the people and did many good things for the people, which was deeply loved by the people. However, due to his son's incompetence, he did not pass on the position of the leader of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but passed it on to Shun, who has both ability and political integrity.

Yao said to Shun, "You must pass on the throne in the future, and you will be relieved when I die." Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had rendered meritorious service in water control. Yu also loves the people and has done many good things for the people like Shun, and is deeply loved by the people.

. Later, 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". It is said that this is the origin of the ancient Chinese New Year.
