New Year's Day Story:

It is said that during the ancient times of Yao and Shun more than 4,000 years ago, Emperor Yao worked diligently on the people and did many good things for the people. He was loved by the people, but because his son had no talent and was not very successful, he did not pass the throne of "Emperor" to his son, but passed it to Shun, who had both moral character and ability.

Yao said to Shun: "You must pass on the throne to me from now on, so that you can rest in peace after my death." Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had done great work in controlling floods, and Yu also acted like him. Shun was so kind and loving to the people, he did many good things for the people, and he was very loved by others.

Later, people regarded the day when Emperor Shun worshiped Heaven and Earth and the late Emperor Yao after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and the first day of the first lunar month was called "New Year's Day", or "Yuanzheng". This is the ancient New Year's Day.

Xin Lan, a poet of the Jin Dynasty, once wrote a poem titled "Yuanzheng": "On the Qingming Festival of the Yuanzheng period, Jiaqing began. It has been played for thousands of years, and the small Datong is full of joy." It describes the New Year's Day celebrations.
