In ancient China, Yuan Dan was not on January 1st, as regulated in the Gregorian calendar. The date of Yuan Dan had been changed many times from the 1st of the 12th lunar month in Yin Dynasty to the 1st of the 1st lunar month in Han Dynasty.
When Sun Yat-sen took office as the temporary President in Nanjing at the beginning of January of 1912, he set the 1st of the 1st lunar month as the Spring Festival while the 1st of January was set as the New Year, which was also called Yuan Dan.
After liberation, the Central Government of China issued a National Festival and Memorial Day Holiday that set January 1st as Yuan Dan, which was a one-day holiday for the whole country.
In order to distinguish the two New Years of both the lunar calendar and solar calendar, and as the "spring beginning" of the Lunar Calendar was always around the lunar New Year, the 1st of the 1st lunar month was called the Spring Festival.
Yuan means the beginning, the first. The beginning of a number is Yuan. Dan, which is a pictographic character in the Chinese language, means the day rises from the horizon, symbolizing the beginning of a day. When Yuan and Dan are combined, it means the first day of a New Year.
Yuan Dan is also called Three Yuan, the beginning of a year, the beginning of a month and the beginning of an hour. The word Yuan Dan was first used during the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns era.
在古代,按公历来说,元旦不仅仅是一月一号这一天。元旦的日期从殷朝腊月初一改到汉朝的正月初一。公元1911年,孙中山领导的辛亥革命 ,推翻了满清的统治,建立了中华民国。各省都督代表在南京开会,决定使用公历,把农历的正月初一叫做“春节”,把公历的1月1日叫做“元旦”。
新中国成立后,中国出台了关于全国假日和战争纪念日的放假规定时,定1月1号为元旦,全国放假一天。为了区别农历和阳历的两个新年有鉴于农历二十四节气中的“立春”恰在农历新年的前后,因此便把农历正月初一改称为“春节”。
“元”意为开始,第一,数字的第一个称元。“旦”在中国文字里是象形文字,其意思为太阳从地平线上圣骑,意为一天的开始。当“元”和“旦”相结合,意思就成了一年开始得第一天。元旦又称“三元”,即岁之元、月之元、时之元。 元旦最早可以追溯到“ 三皇五帝时期”。
尧帝在位时,勤政于民,治理天下有方,深得百姓爱戴,但其子无能,所以将帝位让给德才兼备的舜,后来舜把帝位传给治水有功的禹。
人们把尧死后,舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天,当作一年的开始之日,把正月初一称为“元旦”,或“元正”。
The origin of New Year's Day can be traced back to the ancient Yao and Shun period, but also from the Zen system of Yao and Shun period.
During the reign of Emperor Yao, he worked diligently for the people, managed the world well, and was deeply loved by the people, but his son was incompetent. Therefore, he gave up the throne to Shun, who had both ability and political integrity, and later Shun passed the throne to Yu, who was active in water control.
People regard the day when Shun Di sacrificed to Heaven and Earth and Emperor Yao after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and call the first day of the first month " New Year's Day" or " Yuan Zheng".
