In which country did the New Year holiday originate?

The word "Chinese New Year" first appeared in China's literary works. In the history of China, "New Year's Day" means "the first day of the first month". The calculation method of "the first month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and the date of New Year's Day in previous dynasties was also inconsistent.

After the Revolution of 1911, it was decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used 19 12) in the first year of the Republic of China, and it was stipulated that Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/0 was called "New Year's Day", but it was not called "New Year's Day". 1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) took 65438+ 10 1 as New Year's Day, so New Year's Day is also called "solar year", "new calendar year" or "Gregorian year" in China. ?
