When New Year’s Day starts, it was very inconsistent before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Therefore, the New Year’s Day month and day of the past dynasties are not consistent.The Xia calendar of the Xia Dynasty takes Mengxiyue (January) as the first month, the Yin calendar of the Shang Dynasty takes the twelfth month (December) as the first month, and the Zhou calendar of the Zhou Dynasty takes the winter month (November) as the first month.After Qin Shihuang unified China, the first month of Yangchun (October) was used as the first month, that is, the first day of October was New Year’s Day.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mengxiyue (January) was defined as the first month, and the first day of Mengxiyue (the first day of the first month of the Xia calendar) was called New Year’s Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.But this is the summer calendar, the lunar or lunar calendar, not the New Year’s Day we call it today.After the Revolution of 1911, in order to "run Xia Zheng, so follow the agricultural time, follow the Western calendar, so it is easy to count", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (the actual use was 1912), and stipulated that January 1 of the solar calendar was "New Year", but not Not called "New Year’s Day".In 1949, the People’s Republic of China adopted the Gregorian calendar January 1 as the New Year’s Day, so "New Year’s Day" is also called "Gregorian Calendar Year", "New Calendar Year" or "Gregorian Calendar Year" in China.
