Song Wu's "Liang Lumeng" Volume 1 "First Month" entry: "The first day of the first month is called New Year's Day, and the custom is called New Year's Day. This is the first one.

The origin of New Year's Day
Xia Dynasty is the first day of the first month, Shang Dynasty is the first day of December, and Zhou Dynasty is the first day of November. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he regarded the first day of October as New Year's Day. Since then, the dynasties have not changed. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian founded the "taichu calendar", and once again took the first day of the first month as New Year's Day, just like the provisions of the Xia Dynasty, so it was also called "Li Xia", which was used until the Revolution of 1911. 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, the western calendar and the statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (19 12 was actually used), and stipulated that the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/0/was called "New Year's Day", but it was not called "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. 1949. When we decided to establish the Republic of China, we also decided to adopt the international calendar, officially designated Gregorian calendar 1 as "New Year's Day" and changed the first day of the first lunar month to "Spring Festival". At present, most countries in the world take 65438+ 10 1 as New Year's Day, because most of them adopt the international Gregorian calendar. However, some countries and nationalities have different New Year's Day dates because of their local calendar traditions, religious beliefs, customs and seasonal climate, which makes the world more colorful and ethnic.
