In our country, the word "New Year's Day" has existed in ancient times, and was first seen in Jin Shu in literary works. The "New Year's Day" in China's history refers to the "first day of the first month". The calculation method of the "first month" was very different before the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the dates of the New Year's Day (the first day of the first month) in all dynasties were different.
After the Revolution of 1911, in order to "go to the right place in summer, so follow the lunar calendar, from the Western calendar, so make statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually 1912), and stipulated that January 1 of the Gregorian calendar is the "New Year", but not the "New Year's Day". In 1949, the People's Republic of China took January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as the New Year's Day, so the "New Year's Day" is also called the "Gregorian Year", "New Calendar Year" or "Gregorian Year" in China.
The New Year's Day in 2022 will be a holiday from January 1 to 3, 2022, a total of 3 days.
