What is New Year's Day? Introduction to New Year's Day.

1, New Year's Day, that is, 1 in Gregorian calendar, is commonly known as "Chinese New Year" in most countries in the world. Yuan means "start", and the beginning of each number is called "yuan"; Dan means "day"; New Year's Day means "the first day".

"New Year's Day" usually refers to the first day of the first month in the calendar. In China, the word "Chinese New Year" has existed since ancient times, and it was first seen in the Book of Jin in literary works. The "New Year's Day" in the history of China refers to the "first day of the first month". The calculation method of the "first month" before the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was very inconsistent, and the dates of New Year's Day (the first day of the first month) in previous dynasties were also inconsistent.

3. New Year's Day in modern China has been listed as a legal holiday by the China government and has become 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. In modern China, the celebration of New Year's Day is far less important than the Spring Festival. General organs and enterprises will hold year-end collective celebrations, and there are few folk activities.
