People have changed from nomadic farming to farming on the banks of the Nile, and their agricultural harvest has much to do with whether the Nile floods.

The ancient Egyptians found that the time of the Nile flooding was regular in the long term observation. They recorded the time on bamboo poles every time, and learned that there were about 365 days between the two flooding times. At the same time, it was also found that when the rising tide of the Nile came to the vicinity of today's open city, it happened to be the sun.

On the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty, we have the hieroglyphs of Dan.

Every year in the Gregorian calendar, people call it "New Year's Day" in January 1st. Why is that?

Originally in Chinese, "Yuan" is the beginning, that is, "Dan" is the meaning of a day or morning, the two words refer to the first day of the new year.

But this is not fixed from the beginning.

New Year's Day

The origin of

In calendars, people used to say that the earth rotates around the sun for 1 weeks for 1 years.

However, because the earth moves around the sun without a fixed starting point and ending point, the starting and ending points of a year are all artificially prescribed, which results in different calendars.

According to legend, the word "New Year's Day" comes from one of the earliest emperors of our country, Zhuan, who stipulates that the first month of the lunar calendar is "Yuan" and the first day is "Dan".

Later, some dynasties changed the date of the new year's day, but in principle, the first day of the year was new year's day. For example, the first day of January was the new year's day in the early days of the Xia Dynasty, but the first in the early December was the new year's day in the early December, and in the early November, it was new year's day.

Until Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the great historian Sima Qian and others reformulated the calendar, and stipulated that the first month of the new year was new year's day.

After the success of the revolution of 1911 in 1911, it decided to adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar, so the Lunar New Year's Day was changed to "Spring Festival", and the January 1st of the Gregorian calendar was called New Year's day.

When the new China was founded, it began to officially use the "annals of the annals", making the January 1st of the Gregorian calendar the new year's day.

Nowadays, most countries in the world regard January 1st as new year's day because they have adopted the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar.

However, there are also some countries and ethnic groups whose lunar calendar dates are different because of their local calendar traditions, religious beliefs, customs and seasonal climate. This also makes the world colorful and distinctive.

New year's Day is a traditional new year for the people all over the world.

New year's Day is the first day of the year.

New year's Day is a compound word. It is the first or the beginning of the term. The original meaning of the word is a red sun rising from the ground.

In China, the name of new year's Day refers to the Zhuan, one of the three emperors and five emperors.

According to the records of the historian, the first day of the Xia Dynasty was the new year's day, the first day of January was Zhou Dai's new year's day in the early November, and the first month of the lunar new year was Qin Yishi.

After the revolution of 1911, China called the first month of the lunar new year the Spring Festival. The January 1st Gregorian calendar is called New Year's day, not new year's day.

It was not until September 27, 1949 that the first plenary session of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference approved the use of the annals of the annals until the January 1st of the Gregorian calendar was officially designated as new year's day.

The ancestors of the lunar calendar, the Egyptian calendar, took the day of the rising of Sirius and the sun as new year's day; Afghanistan used the spring equinox as new year's day; Jews used the autumn equinox as new year's day; while the Eskimo's new year's day in the frigid zone was not fixed. They took the first rain as new year's day.

In 46 BC, Julian Kaiser, the emperor of Rome, enacted the Julian calendar. At the beginning, he used the winter solstice as new year's day.

However, people insist that the new year should be used as new year's day, so they extend the new year's day to the 10 day after the winter solstice.
