Tomorrow is New Year's Day, January 1, 2023.

New Year's Day is the beginning of a new year in the Gregorian calendar. It is a common holiday all over the world and is a major holiday.

In fact, in ancient China, there was a saying of New Year's Day. As early as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that the first month of spring should be the first month of each year, and the first day of January was called New Year's Day, which was still used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and established the Republic of China. In order to get rid of some old cultural ideas and introduce new cultural ideas.

stipulates that January 1st of the Gregorian calendar (Gregorian calendar) is the "New Year", but it was not yet called "New Year's Day" at that time.

"New Year's Day" was called "New Year's Day" when Sun Yat-sen announced his inauguration as the interim president in Nanjing. In his oath of office, Sun Yat-sen ended with "New Year's Day, the first year of the Republic of China." This is the origin of China's "New Year's Day". Although the Nanjing government at that time had less say than the Beijing government of Yuan Shikai , the name "New Year's Day" was still spread throughout the country and was retained.

It is worth noting that even during the Republic of China, New Year's Day was a legal holiday, and this day was also known as the Founding Day of the Republic of China.

Some people say that after New Year's Day, people automatically grow one year older. This statement is unfounded.

There are two ways for Chinese people to calculate how old they are one year older. One is virtual age, that is, one year older after the Spring Festival. The other is one year old (real age), that is, one is one year older after one's birthday. So whether you are one year older has nothing to do with New Year's Day.

New Year's Day is on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar every year. It is the first day of the new year and one of the statutory holidays in my country. At this time, most companies will have a holiday, especially public institutions . On New Year's Day, people wish each other, usually saying Happy New Year, or Happy New Year or Happy New Year.
