How many days is the legal holiday on New Year's Day?

There are three days off on New Year's Day.

Statutory holidays refer to the rest time for celebrations and vacations, which are uniformly stipulated by national laws according to the customs and habits of various countries and ethnic groups or commemorative requirements. New Year's Day in modern China was listed as a legal holiday by the China government and became a national holiday. After a day's rest, we often adjust the weekend before or after that day, and usually have a three-day rest.

Nowadays, it is common for groups to organize activities, such as New Year's Eve parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, there were organized gongs and drums and collective folk dances, but now they can be seen in TV documentaries. Today, science and technology have developed and evolved into a gala or something. In recent years, there have been tours, parties and other programs. Anyway, there is not much tradition on New Year's Day, so it becomes a holiday for everyone to play.
