New Year's Day in China always refers to the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar (summer and lunar calendar). The "yuan" of "New Year's Day" refers to the beginning, which means the first. The beginning of every number on New Year's Day is called "Yuan"; "Dan" is a hieroglyph, with the upper "sun" representing the sun and the lower "one" representing the horizon. "Dan" means that the sun rises from the horizon of Ran Ran, symbolizing the beginning of a day.

People put "Yuan" and "Dan" together, which means the first day of the New Year. New Year's Day is also called "three yuan", that is, year yuan, month yuan and hour yuan.

Different languages in Chinese have different names, some are called "New Year's Day", some are called "Big Day", and some are called "New Year's Day", which is generally called "the first day of the first month". In China, New Year's Day has been listed as a legal holiday. Because the longitude position of different countries in the world is different and the time of different countries is different, the date of "New Year's Day" is also different. China is the first 12 country in the world to start the New Year.

It is said that 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.

New Year's Day in China always refers to the first day of the first month of the summer calendar (lunar calendar and lunar calendar). The calculation method of the first day of the first month was also very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the New Year's Day of the past dynasties is not consistent. Meng Xiyue (1 month) is the first month of the Xia calendar, the twelfth month of the Shang lunar calendar (1February) and the winter month of the week calendar (1 1 month). After Qin Shihuang unified China, Yangchun month (October) was the first month, that is, the first day of October was New Year's Day.
