New Year’s Day information

The origin of New Year's Day

New Year's Day is the first day of the year. The name "New Year's Day" is said to come from Zhuan Xu, one of the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He takes the first month of the lunar calendar as the Yuan and the first day as the Dan. "Yuan" means first and beginning, and "Dan" means a red sun rising from the ground. The combination of "Yuan" and "Dan" means that people will welcome the new year with vigor. On this day, cities and rural areas across our country are decorated with lights and colorful decorations and put on festive attire. Many units hang up huge slogans saying "Celebrate New Year's Day" to celebrate the New 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 calendar for its calendar." This is what we call the Gregorian calendar. In order to distinguish 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 the "Spring Festival" and the first day of the solar calendar is designated as "New Year's Day". "So far, New Year's Day has become a happy holiday for people across the country.

China's New Year's Day, according to legend, originated from Zhuan Xu, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the "Book of Jin": "Emperor Zhuan took the first month of Mengxia as the Yuan Dynasty, which is actually the spring of New Year's Day in Zhengshuo". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Jie Ya" in the Southern Dynasty also recorded that "New Year's Day for all four seasons, early spring for longevity".

China is the first to call the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day". Yuan means "beginning" and "beginning", and dan refers to "days". New Year's Day collectively means "the initial days", that is, The first day of the year. The date on which the first day of the first lunar month was calculated was also very inconsistent before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the New Year's Day month and day in the past dynasties are not consistent. The lunar calendar of the Xia Dynasty took Meng Xi month (Yuan month) as the first month, the Yin calendar of the Shang dynasty took the twelfth month (December) as the first month, and the Zhou calendar of the Zhou dynasty took the winter month (November) as the first month. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he took Yangchun month (October) as the first month, that is, the first day of October as New Year's Day. Starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Meng Xiyue (January) was designated as the first month, and the first day of Meng Xiyue (the first day of the first lunar month in the lunar calendar) was called New Year's Day, which was still used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. But this is the lunar calendar, that is, the lunar calendar or the lunar calendar, and it is not what we call New Year's Day today.

In 1911 AD, 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 "make Xia Zhengzheng, so it follows the agricultural time, and it is based on the Western calendar, so it is convenient for statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used in 1912), and stipulated that January 1 of the Gregorian calendar (Gregorian calendar) is the "New Year", but it does not It's called "New Year's Day".

The "New Year's Day" mentioned today is the first plenary meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27, 1949. While deciding to establish the People's Republic of China, it also decided to The world-wide AD calendar was adopted, and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was officially designated as "New Year's Day", and the first day of the first lunar month was changed to "Spring Festival".

Song Boren's poem "New Year's Day" in the Song Dynasty: "There are no greeting guests in the room, and I just get up early as usual. The peach version changes with each person, and the plum blossoms are fragrant every year. The spring breeze returns laughter, and the clouds predict the abundance. Why bother to persuade the cypress wine? "My heart is peaceful and my life is long."

Tian Jia New Year's Day by Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty: "Last night I fought back to the north, and now I am in the east. I have no salary and am still worried about my father. The lotus hoe follows the shepherd boy. The Tian family is in charge of the weather, and it is said that this year will be prosperous. "

Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri" The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.

Under the mountain,

The wind blows the red flag like a picture.

Selected poems] Appreciation - Mao Zedong's poem Qin Yuan Chun Snow

SNOW

--to the tune of Chin Yuan Chun

February 1936

North country scene:

A hundred leagues locked in ice,

A thousand leagues of whirling snow.

Both sides of the Great Wall< /p>

One single white immensity.

The Yellow River"s swift current

Is stilled from end to end.

The mountains dance like silver snakes

And the highlands* charge like wax-hued elephants,

Vying with heaven in stature.

On a fine day, the land,

p>

Clad in white, adorned in red,

Grows more enchanting.

This land so rich in beauty

Has made countless heroes bow in homage.

But alas! Chin Shih-huang and Han Wu-ti

Were lacking in literary grace,

And Tang Tai-tsung and Sung Tai- tsu

Had little poetry in their souls;

And Genghis Khan,

Proud Son of Heaven for a day,

Knew only shooting eagles, bow outstretched

All are past and gone!

For truly great men

Look to this age alone.

* AUTHOR"S NOTE:

The highlands are those of Shensi and Shansi.

Qinyuan Spring Snow

February 1936

>

The scenery of the North is thousands of miles covered with ice and thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only the vast rivers are rushing up and down.

The silver snakes dancing in the mountains and the wax elephants want to compete with the gods.

On a clear day, the red dress is particularly enchanting

There are so many demons in the country that attract countless heroes to bow down

It is a pity that the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty lost their literary talents

Tang Zong and Song Dynasty The ancestors were less charming

Genghis Khan, a genius of his generation, only knew how to bend a bow and shoot eagles

Though all the famous figures have passed away, they still look at the present

Kong Shangren wrote poems<>: "Xiao and Shu's hair is gray, and they are sleeping around the fire. Cut the candles to dry up the late-night wine, and pour out the money to buy spring money. Listening to the firecrackers burning, the childlike innocence is there, and watching the peach charms being exchanged, the old people are happy. The drums and horns are filled with plum blossoms. Part 1: Happy New Year at the fifth watch. "Xu Junqian, a poet from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, stayed up with his wife on New Year's Eve, and wrote the poem "My Wife Sits at Night to Stay Up New Year's Eve": "When the joy is not over, don't stop drinking. I love peaches, and look for red bayberries in the palms. When the curtains are opened and the wind enters the tent, the candles turn to ashes, waiting for the dawn light to destroy them." The couple sat at night, waiting for the dawn light, and their joyful mood was vivid. superior. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was drunk on New Year's Eve one year and happily wrote the poem "Shou Sui": "If you want to know that the old age is like a snake... If you work hard today, you can still be praised as a young man!" The poet said: Compare the passing time to a long snake burrowing into a hole. On the last day of the year, it is like the remaining tail of the snake, which cannot be caught even if it is tried. The poet lamented so strongly that time flies and life is short. Reading it today can still be a wake-up call. However, the poet did not give up his efforts because of this, and still encouraged himself to "work hard today", which showed the poet's spirit of seizing the day.

Celebrating the beginning of the New Year is a common custom in various countries and regions around the world. "Every country and region has its own different customs in celebrating New Year's Day because of its different history, culture, religious beliefs, and national habits."
