The origin of New Year's Day

From the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, January of the lunar calendar was defined as "the first month", and the first day of January was called New Year's Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, it was decided to use the Gregorian calendar in the first year of the Republic of China (actually used as 19 12), and it was stipulated that the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/was called "New Year's Day", but it was not called "New Year's Day".

1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) took Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10 1 as New Year's Day, so New Year's Day is also called Gregorian calendar year, new calendar year or China Gregorian calendar year.
