Which country celebrates New Year's Day?

In the calendar, people are used to calling the 1 period of the earth around the sun 1 year. However, because the earth's orbit around the sun has no fixed starting point and ending point, the starting point and ending point of a year are artificially stipulated, which leads to the inconsistency of various calendars.

According to legend, the word "New Year's Day" comes from Zhuan Xu, one of the earliest emperors in China. He defined the first month of the lunar calendar as "Yuan" and the first day as "Dan". Later, some dynasties changed the date of New Year's Day, but in principle, the first day of each year is still regarded as New Year's Day. For example, in Xia Dynasty, the first day of the first month was regarded as New Year's Day, but in Shang Dynasty, the first day of February was regarded as New Year's Day, and in Zhou Dynasty, the first day of October was regarded as New Year's Day.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty that the great historian Sima Qian and others reformulated the calendar, stipulating that the first day of the first month of the first month of each year was New Year's Day, and it has not changed since then.
