Development of the New Year
"The concept of 'New Year' varies across different eras and countries. In China, 'New Year' traditionally refers to the first day of the first lunar month. The term 'New Year' first appeared in the 'Jin Shu': 'The颛帝 (Zhuanyu) took the first month of summer as the beginning, which is actually the start of the new year and the spring of the first day.' In the Han Dynasty, Cui Yuan's 'Three Sons' described it as 'Yuanzheng,' while the Jin Dynasty's Yu Chanshi mentioned it as 'Yuanchen' in his work 'Yangdu Fu.' In the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was called 'Yuanchun' in the poem 'Yuanhui Daxiang Ge Huangxia Ci.' In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Dezong Li Shi referred to it as 'Yuanshuo' in his poem 'Yuanri Tuichao Guanjunzhang Guiying.'Throughout the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xiao Zi Yun of the Southern Dynasty wrote in his poem 'Jieya': 'A new New Year in all four seasons, the first spring of the year.' In the Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu's 'Menglianglu' recorded: 'On the first day of the first lunar month, it is called the New Year, commonly known as the New Year. This is the beginning of the annual cycle.'
In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. To 'follow the Xia calendar to follow the agricultural seasons and adopt the Western calendar to facilitate statistics,' the first year of the Republic decided to use the Gregorian calendar (which was actually implemented in 1912), and set January 1st of the Gregorian calendar as 'New Year,' but it was not called 'New Year.' At that time, the provincial governors held a meeting in Nanjing and decided to use the Gregorian calendar, calling the first day of the lunar calendar 'Spring Festival' and the first day of the Gregorian calendar 'New Year,' although it was not officially announced.
On January 1, 1912, the Republic of China was proclaimed, and Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the provisional president in Nanjing. In his inaugural oath, Sun Yat-sen ended with 'the first day of the first year of the Republic of China.' This is the origin of the term 'New Year' in China.
On September 27, 1949, the First Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided to establish the People's Republic of China and also adopted the universally used Gregorian calendar, which we now call the solar calendar. 'New Year' refers to the first day of the Gregorian year.
In order to distinguish between the lunar and solar New Years, and given that the solar term 'Lichun' (Start of Spring) falls around the first day of the lunar calendar, the first day of the lunar calendar was renamed 'Spring Festival,' and January 1st of the Gregorian calendar was designated as the start of the new year — 'New Year,' and was included as a public holiday, becoming a festival for the entire nation.
