New Year's Day, commonly known as "New Year" by most countries in the world, is the first day of the new year on the Gregorian calendar.
Yuan means "first"; Dan means "day"; "New Year's Day" literally means "the first day". The term "New Year's Day" first appeared in the "Jin History", but its meaning has been used for over 4,000 years. [1] In ancient China, the first day of the month was considered as New Year's Day, such as the first day of the twelfth month or tenth month. Since Emperor Wu of Han, it became the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Since the Republic of China, it became the first day of January on the Gregorian calendar. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, it also adopted January 1st of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day, so New Year's Day is also called "the Western New Year" in China.
