The origin of New Year's Eve Star Party is as follows:
New Year's Day, January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, is commonly known as the "New Year" in most countries around the world. Since the introduction of the Western calendar into China, the term New Year's Day has been used exclusively for the New Year, and the traditional old calendar year is called the Spring Festival. In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and established China. Representatives of the provincial governors met in Nanjing and decided to use the Gregorian calendar, calling the first day of the first lunar month "Spring Festival" and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar "New Year's Day". However, it was not officially announced and named at the time. * The first year decided to use the Gregorian calendar (the actual year was 1912), and the Gregorian calendar (Gregorian calendar) January 1 was designated as the "New Year", but it was not called "New Year's Day". Today's "New Year's Day" is the resolution of the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27, 1949, on the eve of the founding of New China: "The People's Republic of China adopts the AD chronological method", that is, what we call the solar calendar, in order to distinguish the two new years of the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and in view of the fact that the "Lichun" in the 24th solar term of the lunar calendar is just around the time of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the first lunar month is renamed "Spring Festival", and the first day of January in the solar calendar is set as "New Year's Day" So far, New Year's Day has become a joyful festival for the people of the whole country.
