New Year's Day Source:

More than 4,000 years ago, Yao and Shun flourished, worked diligently for the people and did many good things for the people. Yao is deeply loved by people. However, due to his son's lack of talent, Yao did not hand over the leadership of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but to the competent Shun. Yao said to Shun, "We must pass on the throne in the future and rest in peace after death."

Later, Shun gave the throne to Yu, who had rendered meritorious service in water control. Like Shun, Yu has done many good things for the people and is very popular. Later, after Yao's death, people took the day of offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and the first emperor Yao as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day" or "Jacky". It is said that this is the origin of the ancient Chinese New Year.
