The origin of New Year's Day:

China's New Year's Day originally refers to the first day of the first lunar month. The "yuan" of "New Year's Day" refers to the beginning, which means the first. The beginning of each number 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.

People put "Yuan" and "Dan" together, which means the first day of the New Year. The dates of New Year's Day in China are not consistent. In ancient times, people regarded the day of offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and Yao as the first day of the New Year. Yin is on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, summer is on the first day of the first month, Shang is on the first day of December, Zhou is on the first day of November, and Qin is on the first day of October.

After Sima Qian founded "taichu calendar" in Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month was regarded as New Year's Day, which was still used in Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, the provincial congresses of the Republic of China decided to adopt the Gregorian calendar, so they called the first day of the first lunar month "Spring Festival" and Gregorian calendar 1 day "New Year's Day". This is the origin of the name and date of today's New Year's Day.
