1. The origin of New Year's Day:
"Yuan" means the beginning, and "Dan" means dawn. New Year's Day (NewYear) is the first day of the year, also known as the "New Year" and "Gregorian Year". New Year's Day is also called "Three Yuan", which is the Yuan of the year, the Yuan of the month, and the Yuan of the hour. After the success of the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen designated the first day of the first lunar month of the lunar calendar as the Spring Festival, and January 1 of the Western calendar as the New Year in order to "run the summer season, so that the agricultural season follows the Western calendar." On September 27, 1949, the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided: "The Chinese People's Republic of China adopts the AD year method for the calendar year" and confirmed that New Year's Day (New Year's Day) is a legal holiday in China. New Year's Day is also a legal holiday in many countries or regions around the world.
2. What are the ways to celebrate New Year’s Day:
How to celebrate New Year’s Day 1: It is known throughout China and even the whole world. Many countries regard New Year’s Day as a holiday. We have a holiday on New Year's Day. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, New Year's Day was also designated as a statutory holiday.
New Year’s Day celebration method 2: Nowadays, it is more common to organize activities organized by groups, such as New Year’s parties, hanging slogans celebrating New Year’s Day, or holding group activities, etc. In the past, there were organizations beating gongs and drums, and collective Folk dances can still be seen on TV documentaries, but with the development of science and technology today, they have evolved into galas and the like. In recent years, there have been more tours, parties and other programs. Anyway, there are not many traditions on New Year's Day. It is a holiday on this day and people can use it as much as they want. Even New Year's Day only means a day off for the younger generation.
The third way to celebrate New Year's Day: The traditional Chinese way of celebrating is among the people, especially in rural areas. Every New Year's Day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and worship the gods of various places before the family reunites for a meal. As for a more serious way of celebrating, I haven’t seen it yet.
3. Ancient poems and poems about New Year's Day:
"Like a Dream Ling New Year's Day" Mao Zedong (January 1930)
Ninghua, Qingliu, Guihua ,
The road passes through deep forests and slippery moss.
Where are you heading today?
Point directly to the foot of Wuyi Mountain.
Under the mountain,
The wind spreads the red flag like a picture.
"New Year's Day Trial" by Chen Xianzhang
When the sky is full of wind and clouds celebrating, the temples and temples are fighting for the legacy.
Next to the wall, people are playing wine to entertain the guests, and young children are singing New Year's poems together.
As we age, new years come again, and with the coming of spring, there are even more beautiful flowers.
Where is the evening breeze and the flute of the Jianglou is blowing until the moon rises in the east sky.
"Dingmao Yuan Day" by Qian Qianyi
A bottle of old wine was poured out in the court, and the child held his clothes to comfort the screen.
When you serve your mother, you are happy to have meat in your meal, and when you are in the new year, you are even more happy to dream about fish.
The hook curtain is about to connect the new nest of swallows, and the polyester inkstone is still sparse to write the old book.
I got through the neighborhood chicken and millet situation, and nothing happened to my house.
"New Year's Work" by Liu Changqing
The New Year is in the heart of my hometown, and the sky is alone with tears.
When you grow old, you live among others, and when you return in spring, you come first.
The mountains and apes are in the same day and evening, and the rivers and willows are surrounded by wind and smoke.
Already like Changsha Fu, a few years from now.
"Shou Sui" by Du Fu
At A Rong's house, the pepper tray has been filled with flowers.
The hairpins make a noise on the horses, and the torches scatter the crows in the forest.
The Ming Dynasty has passed by forty, and the dusk scene is slanting.
Who can be more restrained? Drunkness is life.
"Yuan Day" by Wang Anshi
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Thousands of households always exchange old talismans for new peaches.
