The origin of New Year's Day

About 50,000 BC, the ancient Egyptians had changed from nomadic herding to farming and settled on both sides of the Nile River. Their agricultural harvests were related to whether the Nile River flooded. Very relevant. The ancient Egyptians discovered from long-term observations that the Nile River flooded at regular intervals. They recorded the time on bamboo poles each time, and learned that there were approximately 365 days between two flooding times. They also discovered that , when the first rising tide of the Nile River reached today's Cairo city, it happened to be the time when the sun and Sirius rose from the horizon at the same time. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians designated this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of "New Year's Day".

New Year's Day is a compound word in Chinese, and "Yuan" means the beginning or first. "Dan" is a pictographic character, which means that the sun rises from the horizon. The pictographic character "Dan" can be found on bronzes from the Yin and Shang dynasties in my country.

"Yuan" means beginning, and "Dan" refers to the time of dawn, and also generally refers to daytime. New Year's Day is the first day of the year. The word "New Year's Day" first came from the poem "Jie Ya" by Xiao Ziyun, a Liang native in the Southern Dynasties: "The four qi new New Year's Day, Wanshou is the beginning of this dynasty." The "First Month" entry in Volume 1 of Wu Zimu's "Meng Liang Lu" in the Song Dynasty: "The first day of the first lunar month is called New Year's Day. "New Year's Day" is called "New Year's Day" in "Shu Shun Dian" and "Yuan Zheng" in "San Zi Chai Ming" by Cui Yuan in the Han Dynasty. It is called "Yuan Chen" in Yu Chan's "Yangdu Fu"; it is called "Yuan Chun" in a piece of "Yuanhui Daxianggehuang Xia Ci" written in the Northern Qi Dynasty; Tang Dezong and Li Shi's "Yuan Day After Retreating from the DPRK to Watch the Military Battle and Return to Camp" "The poem calls it "Yuan Shuo". New Year's Day refers to the first day of the first lunar month of the lunar calendar. There are different names in various Chinese dialects, some are called "New Year's Day", some are called "Datian New Year's Day", some are called "New Year's Day", and generally they are called "New Year's Day".

The month and day of New Year’s Day in our country are not consistent in the past dynasties. In the Xia Dynasty, it was on the first day of the first lunar month, in the Shang Dynasty, it was on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and in the Zhou Dynasty, it was the first day of the eleventh lunar month. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, the first day of the tenth lunar month was designated as New Year's Day, and it has been unchanged in all dynasties since then ("Historical Records"). In the first year of Emperor Taichu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar", and then the first day of the first lunar month was designated as New Year's Day, which was the same as the Xia Dynasty regulations, so it was also called the "Xia Calendar", which was used until the Revolution of 1911. After the founding of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen designated the first day of the first lunar month (New Year's Day) as the Spring Festival, and January 1 of the Western calendar (Gregorian calendar) as the New Year, in order to "run the summer season, so it is in line with the agricultural season; and from the Western calendar, so it is convenient for statistics."

On September 27, 1949, the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference passed the use of the "AD Calendar", calling the first day of the first lunar month the "Spring Festival" and January 1st of the Gregorian calendar. "New Year".

In modern times, New Year's Day refers to the first day of the year. Since the introduction of the Western calendar into our country, the term New Year's Day has been exclusively used for the New Year, while the traditional Old Calendar year is called the Spring Festival.

Before this, New Year’s Day always referred to the first day of the lunar year. Yuan means "beginning" and "beginning", and Dan refers to "days". New Year's Day is collectively known as the "initial days", which is the first day of the year.

On September 27, 1949, the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference resolved: "The Chinese People's Republic of China adopts the AD chronological calendar", which is what we call the Gregorian calendar. To distinguish between the two new years of the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and because the "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar happens to be before and after the lunar new year, the first day of the first lunar month is renamed "Spring Festival", and the first day of the first lunar month is designated as "New Year's Day" , So far, New Year's Day has become a happy holiday for people across the country.

Celebrating the beginning of the New Year and celebrating New Year's Day can be said to be a common custom in various countries and regions around the world. In our country, it is also included as a national holiday. Our country and most countries and regions in the world adopt the Gregorian calendar and designate January 1st as the beginning of the new year, called "New Year's Day".

Since countries around the world are located at different longitudes and have different times, the date of "New Year's Day" is also different. For example, Tonga, an island country in Oceania, is located on the west side of the date line. It is the first place in the world to start the day and is also the first country to celebrate New Year's Day.

Western Samoa, located east of the date line, is the latest place in the world to start a new day. According to the Gregorian calendar, our country is the 12th country in the world to start the New Year.

The origin of New Year's Day

2004-12-31

Every year on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, people call it "New Year's Day". Why is this?

It turns out that in Chinese, "Yuan" means the beginning, which is the first; "Dan" means day or morning. The two words together refer to the first day of the New Year. But this was not fixed from the beginning.

In the calendar, people are accustomed to calling one revolution of the earth around the sun one year. However, since the earth's orbit around the sun has no fixed starting point and end point, the starting point and end point of a year are artificially determined, which results in inconsistencies in various calendars. It is said that the word "New Year's Day" comes from Zhuanxu, one of the earliest emperors in my country. He stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar should be "Yuan" and the first day of the lunar month should be "Dan". Later, some dynasties changed the date of New Year's Day, but in principle, the first day of each year was still New Year's Day. For example, the Xia Dynasty used the first day of the first lunar month as New Year's Day, but the Shang Dynasty used the first day of December as New Year's Day, and the Zhou Dynasty used 11 The first day of the lunar month is New Year's Day. In the Qin Dynasty, the first day of October was the New Year's Day. It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty that the great historian Sima Qian and others re-established the calendar and stipulated that the first day of the first lunar month of each year was New Year's Day, which has not been changed since then.

After the success of the Revolution of 1911 in 1911, it was decided to adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar, so New Year's Day of the lunar calendar was changed to "Spring Festival", and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was called New Year's Day. When New China was founded, it began to officially use the "AD Calendar" and designated January 1st of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day.

Now, most countries in the world regard January 1st as New Year's Day every year, because they mostly adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar. However, there are also some countries and nations that have different New Year's Day dates due to differences in local calendar traditions, religious beliefs, customs, and seasonal climates. This also makes the world more colorful and more nationally distinctive.
