In the eyes of ancient China people, "Yuan" means beginning; Dan means morning. According to historical records, in the history of China, "New Year's Day" has many appellations, such as Yuanri, Jacky, Chen Yuan, Kainian, Yuan Chun, Shangri-La and Huanian, but among many appellations, "New Year's Day" is the most common and the longest.
In order to distinguish between the two New Year's Days, and in view of the fact that the "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms is just around the first day of the first month of the summer calendar, the first day of the first month of the summer calendar was renamed as "Spring Festival", and the solar calendar 1 day was designated as the beginning of the new year-"New Year's Day", which was listed as a legal holiday and became a national legal holiday. ?

Legend 1: China's New Year's Day began in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 5,000 years. Legend 2: Yao and Shun flourished more than 4,000 years ago. When Yao was in power, he worked diligently for the people and did many good things for the people, which was deeply loved by the people.
However, due to his son's incompetence, he did not pass on the position of the leader of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but passed it on to Shun, who has both ability and political integrity. Yao said to Shun, "You must pass on the throne in the future, and you will be relieved when I die."
Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who made great contributions to flood control. Yu also loves the people and has done many good things for the people like Shun, and is deeply loved by the people. Later, after Yao's death, people took the day of offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and the first emperor Yao as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day" or "Jacky". It is said that this is the origin of the ancient Chinese New Year.
