What is the origin of New Year's Day?
The use of the western calendar in China began with Dr. Sun Yat-sen191265438+10.2, and Sun Yat-sen informed the provinces that the Republic of China would change the solar calendar to the year of the Yellow Emperor1/month 13 (i.e./kloc 19 1 1 year1month 13 is the Gregorian calendar 19 12 1.
Before the founding of New China, on September 27th, 1949, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference adopted the Decision on Chronology of People's Republic of China (PRC), announcing that the chronology of People's Republic of China (PRC) adopted the year AD, and the Gregorian calendar 1 month/day was New Year's Day.
At that time, there was a lot of debate about whether to use the calendar year. The thing is this: The sixth group of the preparatory meeting for the first plenary session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference mainly discussed the use of the times. Some group members think that China people's era and national era should be adopted. Some people tend to continue to adopt the era of the Republic of China. Others suggested using the era of the Yellow Emperor. Each has his own views and arguments. After investigation and study, the team members found that most countries in the world adopted the AD calendar. So everyone agreed to adopt AD calendar and report the plan to the conference.
After many discussions, everyone unanimously decided to adopt the advertising calendar. On September 27th, this resolution was formally adopted at the General Assembly. Since then, there has been another festival in China people's lives: New Year's Day.
The legal holiday of the New Year is one day. Like the United States, Britain, Singapore and other countries, the legal holiday of China New Year is one day. And Japan will have a holiday from 65438+February 29th to 65438+1October 3rd, * * * six days. The first country in the world to celebrate the New Year is Tonga, an island country in Oceania, and the last one is Western Samoa in Oceania. Interestingly, these two countries are in the southern hemisphere, between 17 1- 175 degrees west longitude, but there is an invisible international international date line in the middle. Tonga, located on the west side of the transformation line, became the first country to welcome the New Year. Western Samoa in the east became the last one.
