New Year s Day is a Western holiday or a traditional Chinese holiday

The traditional Chinese festival, New Year's Day refers to the first day of the year in the Common Era, and has been used for the New Year since the Western calendar was introduced to China.

It is a traditional Chinese festival founded by Mr. Sun Yat-sen to commemorate the founding of New China.

The term New Year's Day first appeared in the Book of Jin, but it was not officially used until the Xinhai Revolution.

New Year's Day is an awkward holiday. In terms of name, it is China's own festival, but legislatively it is a foreign festival brought from the West. It does not have the same cultural connotation as Western religious festivals, nor does it have China's own traditional folk customs.

The "New Year's Day" mentioned today is on September 27, 1949, on the eve of the founding of New China, when the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference passed a resolution that after the founding of New China, China changed to the common era of the Common Era. Since then, January 1 of the Gregorian calendar has been officially called "New Year's Day", and the first day of the first lunar month is "Spring Festival".

There are also many festivals in China that originated in the West, such as Christmas on December 25 every year, Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday of November every year, Valentine's Day on February 14 every year, April Fool's Day on April 1 every year, Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May every year, Father's Day on the third Sunday of June every year, Halloween on November 1 every year, and so on.

Christmas now in Chinese. April Fool's Day. Mother's Day, Father's Day. And Valentine's Day both originated in the West.

Valentine's Day on February 14th, as well as Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Children's Day, and Mother's Day, all originated in the West.

Women's Day, May Day, and Children's Day originated in the West.

New Year's Day is first and foremost a traditional Chinese holiday.

In the calendar, it is customary to say that the earth revolves around the sun for one year. However, since the earth orbits around the sun without a fixed beginning and end, the beginning and end of the year are artificially prescribed, which causes inconsistencies in various calendars. According to legend, the word "New Year's Day" comes from one of the earliest emperors in our country - 颛顼, who stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar is "Yuan", and the first day of the lunar month is "Dan".

Later, some dynasties changed the date of New Year's Day, but in principle, the first day of each year was still New Year's Day, such as the Xia Dynasty took the first day of the first month as New Year's Day, but the Shang Dynasty took the first day of December as New Year's Day, and the Zhou Dynasty took the first day of November as New Year's Day, and the Qin Dynasty took the first day of October as New Year's Day. Until the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the great historian Sima Qian and others reformulated the calendar, and stipulated that the first day of the first month of each year is New Year's Day, and it has not changed since then.

After the success of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, it was decided to adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar, so the lunar New Year's Day was changed to "Spring Festival", and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was called New Year's Day. When the People's Republic of China was founded, it began to officially use the "A.D. chronology method", and set January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day every year.

Nowadays, most countries in the world regard January 1 as New Year's Day every year, because they mostly use the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar. However, there are also some countries and nations that have different dates on New Year's Day due to their local calendar traditions, religious beliefs, customs, seasons and climates, which also makes the world colorful and more national.

First of all, New Year's Day is a traditional Chinese festival, and the word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the Book of Jin: "Emperor Zhuan took the first month of Mengxia as the yuan, in fact, it was the spring of New Year's Day." It can be seen that New Year's Day is indeed a traditional Chinese festival, not a foreign product.

Although the word New Year's Day appeared in the Jin Dynasty, the concept of New Year's Day existed very early, and each dynasty is different, for example, the Qin Dynasty stipulates that October is the first month, then New Year's Day is October 1, the Shang Dynasty defined December as the first month, then December 1 is New Year's Day, and the current January is set as the Zhengyuan Dynasty after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and since then, January has been the first month of the first month, and has been used to this day.

Chinese New Year's Day has always referred to the first day of the first month of the first month of the agricultural (summer, yin) calendar. The "yuan" of "New Year's Day" refers to the beginning, which means the first, and the beginning of the New Year's Day is called "Yuan"; "Dan", a pictograph, the "day" above represents the sun, and the "one" below represents the horizon. "Dan" is when the sun rises over the horizon, symbolizing the beginning of the day.

People combine the words "yuan" and "dan" to mean the first day of the new year. New Year's Day is also known as "three yuan", that is, the yuan of the year, the yuan of the month, and the yuan of the time.

After the Xinhai Revolution, the new calendar was introduced into China, and some people proposed that "the line is in the summer, so the agricultural time, from the Western calendar, so it will be counted", in order to distinguish these two times, the January 1 of the new calendar is set as the New Year's Day, but the name at that time was the New Year, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the Spring Festival. It was not until September 27, 1949, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, that China decided to use the world's common AD chronology, which is what we call the Gregorian calendar, and from then on New Year's Day is the first day of the Gregorian New Year.

There are also different names in various languages of Chinese, some are called "the first day of the new year", some are called "the first day of the first day of the new day", some are called "the first day of the first day of the first month", and they are generally called "the first day of the first lunar month". In China, New Year's Day is a statutory holiday. Due to the different longitude positions in various countries of the world, the time of each country is also different, therefore, the date of "New Year's Day" is also different.

China is the 12th country in the world to start the New Year.

New Year's Day is a Chinese holiday.

New Year's Day is January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly known as the "New Year" in most countries around the world. Yuan is called "beginning", and the beginning of all numbers is called "yuan"; Dan, which is called "day"; "New Year's Day" means "the day of the beginning".

The term "New Year's Day" first appeared in the Book of Jin in Chinese literary works. In Chinese history, "New Year's Day" refers to the "first day of the first lunar month", and the calculation method of "first lunar month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the date of New Year's Day in all dynasties was not consistent.

"New Year's Day" is a compound word, as the name suggests, it means the day of the beginning of the year. The "New Year's Day" in Chinese history refers to the first day of the first month of the Chinese summer calendar.

The original meaning of the word "yuan" in "New Year's Day" is "human head", which is extended to "beginning". The word "dan" means that a rising sun rises from the horizon. Archaeologists have found a picture of the sun rising over the top of a mountain with clouds and smoke in the middle.

It has been verified that this is the ancient Chinese way of writing the word "Dan". Later, it was discovered that the character "Dan" was simplified to the shape of the sunrise horizon. The word "day" is connected with the word "one", which is the image of the sun rising over the horizon, that is, the day is dawning.

Since then, the "Dan" as the beginning of the day has been extended to the first day of the year. Not only do people call the first day of the new year "New Year's Day", but they also call the first month of the new year, i.e., January, "January Month".

The word "New Year's Day" first came from the poem "Erya" by Xiao Ziyun, a Liang man in the Southern Dynasty: "The New Year's Day of the Four Qi, the beginning of longevity and the present dynasty." Wu Zimu of the Song Dynasty said

The New Year Day of the New Year is called New Year's Day, and it is commonly known as the New Year. The first year of the year, this is the first of these. "New Day is the first month of the lunar calendar.

The name of "New Year's Day" in China has been different in the past dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, Cui Ming's "Three Yu Hai Ming" called it "Yuan Zheng"; In the Jin Dynasty Gengzha "Yangdu Fu", it is called "Yuanchen"; In the Northern Qi Dynasty's "Yuanhui Daxiang Song Emperor's Summer Speech", it is called "Yuan Chun"; Tang Dezong Li Shi said "Yuan Shuo" in the poem "Retreating from the Dynasty on New Year's Day and Watching the Army Return to the Camp"; Wait a minute.

The "New Year's Day" month and day in Chinese dynasties are also inconsistent, but they all refer to the beginning of the lunar year. The Xia Dynasty took the first day of the first month as the "New Year's Day" (therefore, the calendar with the first day of the first month as the New Year is called the "Xia calendar"), the Yin Shang Dynasty took the first day of December as the "New Year's Day", and the Zhou Dynasty advanced to the first day of November as the "New Year's Day". After Qin unified China, it was stipulated that the first day of October should be the New Year.

When Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty arrived, he reformed the calendar, promulgated the famous "Taichu Calendar", and restored the first month of the first month as "New Year's Day".

What we now call "New Year's Day" is the first day of the Gregorian New Year. This was only adopted in China after the Xinhai Revolution. When Sun Yat-sen took office as the provisional chief in Nanjing, in order to "go to Xia Zheng and follow the Western calendar", he announced that China began to adopt the world's common Gregorian calendar (i.e., the solar calendar), calling January 1 as "New Year's Day", and the first day of the first month of the old calendar (i.e., the lunar calendar) was set as the "Spring Festival".

On September 27, 1949, the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference used the "Gregorian Calendar Chronology" to call the first day of the first month of the summer calendar (also known as the lunar calendar and lunar calendar) the Spring Festival, and the first day of January in the Gregorian calendar (also known as the solar calendar) as New Year's Day.

New Year's Day is actually a holiday in the West. Traditional Chinese festivals are the Spring Festival or the Lantern Festival. Christmas and New Year's Day are both Western.

New Year's Day is January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly known as the "New Year" in most countries around the world. Yuan is called "beginning", and the beginning of all numbers is called "yuan"; Dan, which is called "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 "New Year's Day" 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 our country refers to the "first day of the first month", and the calculation method of "the first month" was very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the date of the New Year's Day (the first day of the first month) of the previous dynasties was not consistent.

New Year's Day is not a traditional Chinese holiday.

New Year's Day is a traditional festival in China, after the success of the Xinhai Revolution in China, Nanjing temporarily ** in order to facilitate statistics, the implementation of the Gregorian calendar, and the first day of January in the Gregorian calendar every year is set as New Year's Day.
