古代中國的元旦日，并非如今通用的'“格列歷”——公歷的1月1日。從殷代定農(nóng)歷十二月初一為歲首，到漢代定在農(nóng)歷正月初一為歲首,曾有多次反反復復的改變.到民國時孫中山于1912年1月初在南京就任臨時大總統(tǒng)時為“順農(nóng)時”、“便統(tǒng)計”，定農(nóng)歷正月初一為春節(jié)，改公歷1月1日稱為歲首“新年”，但仍稱“元旦”。直到解放后中央人民政府頒布統(tǒng)一使用“全國年節(jié)和紀念日放假辦法”，將公歷1月1日規(guī)定為元旦節(jié),并決定全國在此節(jié)放假一天。同時為區(qū)別農(nóng)歷和公歷兩個新年，又鑒于農(nóng)歷二十四個節(jié)氣中的“立春”,恰在農(nóng)歷新年前后，因此改農(nóng)歷正月初一稱為“春節(jié)”。
“元旦”的“元”，指開始，是第一的意思,凡數(shù)之始稱為“元”;“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太陽,下面的“一”代表地平線。“旦”即太陽從地平線上冉冉升起，象征一日的開始.人們把“元”和“旦”兩個字結(jié)合起來，就引申為新年開始的第一天。元旦又稱“三元”,即歲之元、月之元、時之元。元旦一詞最早始于三皇五帝,唐房玄齡等人寫的《晉書》上載：“顓帝以孟春正月為元,其時正朔元旦之春。”即把正月稱為元,初一為旦。南朝梁人蘭子云的《介雅》詩也云：“四氣新元旦，萬壽初今朝。”
