Introduction to the origin of New Year's Day: within 50 words.

Today's "New Year's Day" is the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27th, A.D. 1949. When we decided to establish the Republic of China, we also decided to adopt the universal calendar, officially designated the Gregorian calendar 1 as "New Year's Day" and changed the first day of the first lunar month to "Spring Festival".

In A.D. 19 1 1, the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. In order to "follow the agricultural season, so follow the western calendar, so do statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used as 19 12), and stipulated that Gregorian calendar 1 was called "New Year's Day", but not "New Year's Day".

"Yuan" means beginning, and "Dan" means dawn. New Year's Day (New Year's Day) is the first day of the year, also known as the "new calendar year". In foreign countries, 65438+ 10/is called New Year's Day. In China, the first day of the first lunar month is called New Year's Day. In order to distinguish New Year's Day from the first lunar month, China called the first lunar month New Year's Day and the first lunar month Spring Festival.
