What is the origin of New Year's Day?
Today's "New Year's Day" is the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27th, A.D. 1949. When we decided to establish the Republic of China, we also decided to adopt the universal calendar, officially designated the Gregorian calendar 1 as "New Year's Day" and changed the first day of the first lunar month to "Spring Festival".

"Yuan" means beginning, and "Dan" means dawn. New Year's Day is the first day of the year, also known as the "new calendar year" and "solar calendar year". New Year's Day is also called "three yuan", that is, year yuan, month yuan and hour yuan.

In A.D. 19 1 1, the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. In order to "follow the agricultural season, so follow the western calendar, so do statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used as 19 12), and stipulated that Gregorian calendar 1 was called "New Year's Day", but not "New Year's Day".

China's ancient New Year's Day diet is rich and colorful, and the description in Chronicle of Jingchu Years is a concentrated expression. In the Southern Dynasties, Jingchu paid tribute to him on New Year's Day, followed by pepper and cypress wine, peach soup, Tu Su wine, soup and spiced dishes. They were powdered, but the ghost pill was eaten. They each ate an egg. Among them, there are peach soup, drinks, food and medicines, all of which have their own special meanings.
