The origin and customs of New Year's Day, riddles

Introduction of traditional Chinese festivals - New Year's Day

China's New Year's Day, according to legend, started in one of the three emperors Zhuan Xu, more than 3,000 years ago. The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the poem "Book of Jin": "Zhuan Di took the first month of Meng Xia as the first month of the year, in fact, the first month of the spring of New Year's Day". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Jieya" also recorded that "New Year's Day is the first day of the four seasons, and the first day of spring is the first day of ten thousand years".

China first called the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar "New Year's Day", Yuan is the "first", "the beginning of the" meaning, Dan refers to the "day", "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day". ", yuan and Dan collectively referred to as the "initial day", that is, the first day of the year. The first day of the first month from which day counting, in the Han Wu Di before is also very inconsistent. Therefore, the new year's day of the month, day is not consistent. The Xia Calendar of the Xia Dynasty took the month of Meng Xi (January) as the first month, the Yin Calendar of the Shang Dynasty took the month of La (December) as the first month, and the Zhou Calendar of the Zhou Dynasty took the month of Winter (November) as the first month. After the unification of China by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first day of the month of Yangchun (October) was used as the first month, i.e., the first day of October was New Year's Day. It was only from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the first day of the month of Mengxi (New Year's Day) was called New Year's Day, and it was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. But this was the summer calendar, the lunar or lunar calendar, and not yet what we call New Year's Day today.

In 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen led the Xinhai Revolution, which overthrew the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. In order to "line Xiazheng, so smooth farming, from the Western calendar, so the statistics", the Republic of China decided to use the calendar (actually used in 1912), and the solar calendar (Gregorian calendar) January 1 for the "New Year's Day", but is not called "New Year's Day".

Today's "New Year's Day" is the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), which decided to establish the People's Republic of China (PRC) on September 27, 1949, and at the same time decided to adopt the world's common Gregorian calendar and officially designated January 1 on the Gregorian calendar as the "New Year's Day". "New Year's Day", the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was changed to "Spring Festival".
