A brief description of the festival on January 1
January 1 is the first day of the Gregorian calendar year, and most countries in the world regard this day as the New Year.There are 364 days until the end of the year (365 days in leap years).Because this day is the beginning of the year, it is called New Year’s Day.The word "New Year’s Day" first appeared in "Book of Jin" in Chinese literature."New Year’s Day" in Chinese history refers to "the first day of the first month".The calculation method of "first month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the dates of New Year’s Day were not consistent in all dynasties.
After the Revolution of 1911, in order to "run Xia Zheng, so follow the agricultural time, follow the Western calendar, so it is convenient for statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (the actual use was 1912), and stipulated that the solar calendar was January 1st It is "New Year’s Day", but it is 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.
