用英文写元旦的由来

Around 50,000 B.C., the ancient Egyptians settled on both sides of the Nile River. From long-term observation, they found that the Nile River flooded regularly. 

They recorded the time on bamboo poles every time. From this, they learned that the time between the two floods was about 365 days, that is, one year.

At the same time, the ancient Egyptians also found that when the rising tide of the Nile came near today's Cairo City, it was precisely when the sun and Sirius rose simultaneously from the horizon. 

So the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of New Year's Day.

New Year's Day in China, according to legend, originated from one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 3000 years. 

The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in Jin Shu: "Emperor Zhui takes the first month of Mengxia as the yuan, but in fact it is the spring of New Year's Day in Zhengshuo".

大约在公元前五万年左右，古埃及人定居在尼罗河两岸，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。

同时古埃及人还发现，当尼罗河初涨的潮头到今天开罗城附近的时候，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。

中国的元旦，据传说起于三皇五帝之一的颛顼，距今已有3000多年的历史。“元旦”一词最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春”的诗中。

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。

According to legend, in the ancient times, the Sui Emperor diligently loved the people. After he was old, he gave the status zen to the genius with both ability and political integrity, and he and the meditation let the emperor give the water to make a great contribution. They have done a lot of good things and are very much loved by the people.

In order to commemorate them, everyone will call the day after the death, the day of the ritual sacrifice of heaven and earth, as the beginning of the year, called "New Year's Day" or "Yuanzheng", which became the origin of the ancient New Year's Day.

译文：

相传在远古的尧舜时期，尧帝勤政爱民，在老去以后，把地位禅让给德才兼备的舜，舜又禅让帝位给治水立下大功的禹。他们都做了很多好事，十分受人民爱戴。

为了纪念他们，大家就把尧死后，舜祭祀天地和尧的那天，当做一年的开始之日，称作“元旦”或“元正”，成为古代元旦的由来。

中国的元旦，据传说起于三皇五帝之一的颛顼，距今已有3000多年的历史。“元旦”一词最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春”的诗中。南北朝时，南朝萧子云的《介雅》诗中也有“四季新元旦，万寿初春朝”的记载。

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。正月初一从哪日算起，在汉武帝以前也是很不统一的。因此，历代的元旦月、日也并不一致。夏朝的夏历以孟喜月（元月）为正月，商朝的殷历以腊月（十二月）为正月，周朝的周历以冬月（十一月）为正月。秦始皇统一中国后，又以阳春月（十月）为正月，即十月初一为元旦。从汉武帝起，才规定孟喜月（元月）为正月，把孟喜月的第一天（夏历的正月初一）称为元旦，一直沿用到清朝末年。但这是夏历，亦即农历或阴历，还不是我们今天所说的元旦。

公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命，推翻了清朝的统治，建立了中华民国。为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历（实际使用是1912年），并规定阳历（公历）1月1日为“新年”，但并不叫“元旦”。

今天所说的“元旦”，是公元1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一次全体会议，在决定建立中华人民共和国的同时，也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”。
