元旦是农历新年的第一天吗？
元旦的由来如下：
New Year's Day is the first day of the lunar calendar. it is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling.
it represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones. as the first day of the year, yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times.
元旦是农历的第一天。这是一天，当地球绕着太阳转一圈，正在开始另一个循环。当人们送走旧的日子，并欢迎新的朋友的时候，它代表了一个新的开始。作为一年的第一天，元旦已被认为是自古以来最重要的节日。
What is special during the new year is that parents or elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the children. people in the ancient times were more particular in giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the eve of new year so that the kids could suppress the past year and enter the new year.
ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable future. representing the wishes for the healthy psychological growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolises the elders' hope to see their children overcome all the unpredictable elements brought by the "year".
新的一年里有什么特殊的是，父母或长辈会把红色的包(和“包”和“你的钱”)分发给孩子们。远古时代的人们更特别地在赠送红包：新的一年的除夕之夜的分布，使孩子们能压制过去的一年，进入新的一年。“雅”的意思是克服不可预知的未来。代表对健康儿童心理成长的愿望，压岁钱象征长老希望看到自己的孩子克服各种不可预知的因素所带来的“年”。
