The origin of the New Year s Day, the origin of the New Year s Day

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". 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. Due to the different geographical environment and calendar, in different eras, the time positioning of New Year's Day of various countries and nationalities in the world is different.

Today, the Gregorian calendar is increasingly recognized by countries around the world. Most countries in the world have adopted the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar, and January 1 of each year is regarded as "New Year's Day". Countries that use the Gregorian calendar as the calendar take January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as the New Year's Day every year, and the whole country is closed.

In the minds of the ancient Chinese, "yuan" means beginning; "Dan" means morning. According to historical records, in Chinese history, "New Year's Day" has many titles, such as Yuanri, Yuanzheng, Yuanchen, Kainian, Yuanchun, Shangri, Huasui, etc., but among many titles, "New Year's Day" is the most common and the longest time.

Legend: China's New Year's Day began with one of the three emperors and five emperors, and has a history of more than 5,000 years. Legend 2:

More than 4,000 years ago, when Yao and Shun were prosperous, Yao was diligent in his reign and did a lot of good things for the people, and was very loved by the people, but because his son was not talented and not very successful, he did not pass on the leader of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but passed it to Shun, who had both moral and moral talents. Yao said to Shun: "You must pass on the throne in the future, and you can rest assured after I die."

Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had contributed to the flood control, and Yu was also like Shun, who was close to the people and loved the people, and did a lot of good things for the people, and was very loved. Later, after Yao's death, the day when Emperor Shun sacrificed to heaven and earth and the first emperor Yao was regarded as the beginning of the year, and the first day of the first lunar month was called "New Year's Day", or "Yuan Zheng". It is said that this is the origin of the ancient "New Year's Day".

The word "New Year's Day" first came from ancient Egypt around 50,000 BC. It is said that the ancient Egyptians at that time recorded the time of the flooding of the Luo River every year and found that there was a gap of about 365 days. At the same time, they also discovered that when the Nile River first rose near the city of Cairo today, it was also the time when the Sun and Sirius rose above the horizon at the same time.

Therefore, the ancient Egyptians designated this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of "New Year's Day".
