Legend about New Year's Day:

According to legend, in the prosperous time of Yao and Shun in ancient times more than 4,000 years ago, when Yao was in power, he worked diligently for the people and did many good things for the people, which was deeply loved by the people. However, due to his son's incompetence, he did not pass on the leader of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but passed it on to Shun, who has both ability and political integrity. Yao said to Shun, "You must pass on the throne in the future, and you will be relieved when I die."

Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who made great contributions to flood control. Yu also loves the people and has done many good things for the people like Shun, and is deeply loved by the people. Later, people took the day when Yao died and sacrificed to heaven and earth and the first emperor Yao as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day" or "Jacky". There is also a legend that the first day of the first month (New Year's Day) began in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 5,000 years. It is said that this is the origin of the ancient Chinese New Year.
