元旦 New Year's Day新年开始的第一天。世界各地依当地的宗教、文化以及社会习俗对这一天加以庆祝。通常会举行仪式来象征抛弃旧的一年并庆祝新的一年。犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教使用各自不同的历法，因此在不同的日子里来庆祝元旦。在西方，公历的1月1日是公认的元旦。犹太教元旦又称岁首节，以提市黎月初一为元旦，这一天有可能是公历9月6日至10月5日之间的任何一天。穆斯林的元旦则是穆哈兰圣月的第一天，由于伊斯兰教采用的是阴历，这一天相对于公历来说是逐年退行的。中国的农历新年通常是在公历的1月末或2月初，节庆活动往往持续很多天，包括用放鞭炮的方式来驱魔、演戏以及祭祀祖先和众神。New Year's DayFirst day of the new year, celebrated with religious, cultural, and social observances around the world.It is usually marked by rites and ceremonies that symbolize casting off the old year and rejoicing in the new. Most of the world recognizes January 1 as the start of a new year because the Gregorian calendar, from its papal origin in 1582, has become the international reference for treaties, corporate contracts, and other legal documents. Nevertheless, numerous religious and national calendars have been retained. For example, in the Persian calendar (used in Iran and Afghanistan) New Year's Day falls on the spring equinox (March 20 or 21 in the Gregorian calendar). The more widely employed Islamic (Hijrī) calendar is based on 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days; thus, the Islamic New Year's Day gradually regresses through the longer Gregorian calendar. The Hindu new year starts on the day following the first new moon on or after the spring equinox. The Chinese new year begins at sunset on the new moon in the sign of Aquarius (late January or early February). The Hebrew calendar is based on 12 lunar months (13 in certain years) of 29 or 30 days; the Jewish New Year's Day, or Rosh Hashanah, can fall anytime from September 6 to October 5 in the Gregorian calendar.

关于元旦的来历，最早可以追溯到远古的尧舜时期，还要从尧舜时期的禅让制说。
尧帝在位时，勤政于民，治理天下有方，深得百姓爱戴，但其子无能，所以将帝位让给德才兼备的舜，后来舜把帝位传给治水有功的禹。
人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为“元旦”，或“元正”。
The origin of New Year's Day can be traced back to the ancient Yao and Shun period, but also from the Zen system of Yao and Shun period.
During the reign of Emperor Yao, he worked diligently for the people, managed the world well, and was deeply loved by the people, but his son was incompetent. Therefore, he gave up the throne to Shun, who had both ability and political integrity, and later Shun passed the throne to Yu, who was active in water control.
People regard the day when Shun Di sacrificed to Heaven and Earth and Emperor Yao after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and call the first day of the first month " New Year's Day" or " Yuan Zheng".

元旦的由来英文：
China first called the first day of the first lunar month as "New Year's Day"，Yuan means "beginning" and "beginning", and means "days".The New Year's Day is called the "initial day", which is the first day of the year.
中国最早称农历正月初一为“元旦”，元是“初”、“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。从汉武帝起，规定孟喜月（元月）为正月，把孟喜月的第一天（农历的正月初一）称为元旦。
今天所说的“元旦”，是建国时决定采用世界通用的公元纪年法，并将公历1月1日正式定为“元旦”，农历正月初一改为“春节”。
“元旦”，最早来自西方。大约在公元前五万年左右，古埃及人已由游牧改为农耕，定居在尼罗河两岸，他们的农业收成与尼罗河是否发生洪水有很大关系。
古埃及人从长期的观察中发现，尼罗河泛滥的时间是有规律的，他们就把这个时间每次都记录在竹竿上，从中得知两次泛滥时间之间大约相隔365天，也就是一年。
同时古还发现，当尼罗河初涨的潮头来到开罗城附近的时候，也正好是太阳与天狼星同时从地平线上升起的时候。于是，古埃及人便把这一天定为一年的开始。这就是元旦最早的由来。

我国古代使用的是古历法之一的“阴阳历”亦称“夏历”，但历代元旦月日并不一致。夏代元旦在正月初一；商代在十二月初一；周代在十一月初一；秦始皇统一六国后，以十月初一为元旦；直至汉武帝时，才恢复以正月初一为元旦，自至此直至清末相沿未改。辛亥革命后，孙中山先生为了“行夏历顺农历”和“从西历便统计”起见，在我国使用夏历的同时并用公历，将正月初一改称“春节”，公历1月1日称为“元旦”。1949年9月27日，在中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议上，通过使用“公元纪年法”，将正月初一称为春节；将公历1月1日定为元旦。世界上多数国家都把公历1月1日称为元旦，做为新年的开始。但是各国元旦来临的时间并不一样，原因是地球围着太阳公转，同时又从西向东自转，各地出现黎明、白昼、黄昏、黑夜的时刻都不相同，因此全世界“元旦”的时间不可能统一。譬如，当我们在北京时间零点新年钟声中，互相祝贺新年来临的时刻，美国华盛顿才是12月31日上午11时；英国伦敦正是12月31日下午4时；而日本东京已经是1月1日凌晨1时了，他们已经迎接过新年了。世界上也有一些国家，不以1月1日为元旦，而是以大自然某些现象、宗教信仰、风俗习惯为依据确定元旦的日期。如埃及人把尼罗河水上涨的那一天定为元旦，称为“涨水元旦”；居住在北极圈内冰天雪地中的爱斯基摩人，由于当地终年积雪，不知春天和夏天，一年内仅有一段短暂的时间不飘雪花，他们就把雪花暂停之后，又开始飘雪花的那一天为元旦；印度的元旦定在11月之初，他们的民族传统节日“和利节”这一天为元旦；老挝的元旦定在阳历4月中旬佛历“宋干节”那一天；在叙利亚，人们把9月里月亮圆的那一天作为元旦；更有趣的是非洲乌干达，由于他们国家每六个月就有雨、旱两季，所以他们定六个月为一年，并且定在雨季到来的第一天为元旦，这样，他们一年就要过两次元旦没有中英对照！！

Yuandan 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.Customs1. Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chinese traditional custom, starting from haishi(9p.m. to 11p.m.)of the last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare offering s to deities at the altar. At the same time, they too prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui). After haishi, zishi(11p.m. to 1a.m.)will come, and this is the arrival of New Year(Yuandan). At this moment, people begin the celebration with fireworks. Vegetarian and sweet foods will then be placed are the altar for offerings, and incense be burned to welcome the deities. In the ancient times, it was believed that haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui.At the same night, some families will follow the instruction in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the "fortune deity" during the "fortune time" to receive the deity. If the direction of the "fortune deity" is at the "ill position", people will choose to receive "happy deity" or "noble deity" instead.

元旦的来历
我国历代元旦的月日并不一致。夏代在正月初一，商代在十二月初一，周代在十一月初一，秦始皇统一六国后，又以十月初一日为元旦，自此历代相沿未改（《史记》）。汉武帝太初元年时，司马迁创立了“太初历”，这才又以正月初一为元旦，和夏代规定一样，所以又称“夏历”，一直沿用到辛亥革命。
中华民国建立，孙中山为了“行夏正，所以顺农时；从西历，所以便统计”，定正月初一（元旦）为春节，而以西历（公历）1月1日为新年。
1949 年9 月27 日,中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议通过使用“公元纪年法”,将农历正月初一称“春节”,将公历1 月1 日定为“元旦”。

In ancient China, Yuan Dan was not on January 1st, as regulated in the Gregorian calendar. The date of Yuan Dan had been changed many times from the 1st of the 12th lunar month in Yin Dynasty to the 1st of the 1st lunar month in Han Dynasty.
When Sun Yat-sen took office as the temporary President in Nanjing at the beginning of January of 1912, he set the 1st of the 1st lunar month as the Spring Festival while the 1st of January was set as the New Year, which was also called Yuan Dan.
After liberation, the Central Government of China issued a National Festival and Memorial Day Holiday that set January 1st as Yuan Dan, which was a one-day holiday for the whole country.
In order to distinguish the two New Years of both the lunar calendar and solar calendar, and as the "spring beginning" of the Lunar Calendar was always around the lunar New Year, the 1st of the 1st lunar month was called the Spring Festival. Yuan means the beginning, the first.
The beginning of a number is Yuan. Dan, which is a pictographic character in the Chinese language, means the day rises from the horizon, symbolizing the beginning of a day. When Yuan and Dan are combined, it means the first day of a New Year.
Yuan Dan is also called Three Yuan, the beginning of a year, the beginning of a month and the beginning of an hour. The word Yuan Dan was first used during the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns era.
