2010年1月1日 上午8点58分37秒When Does a new year start?

How did January 1st became the first day of the
year.

According to the Roman calendar, March 1st was the 1st day of the
year.

Traditionally, the Roman calendar began the first day of March.
However, it was in January (the eleventh month) when the consuls of
ancient Rome assumed the government. Julius Caesar, in 47 BC,
changed the system, creating the Julian calendar. It was modified in
the time of Mark Antony consul in 44 BC, again by the emperor
Augustus Caesar in 8 BC and finally by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582,
which brought the calendar to its present day form. This year begins
on January 1. Subsequently, this day was marked with a religious
significance during the Middle Ages and later centuries./

In the Eastern Orthodox Church the new year is January 14th. According
to the Chinese, it "occurs every year on the new moon of the first lunar
month, about four to eight weeks before spring." It is also referred to
as the Lunar New Year. The Lunar New Year is also used in Japan, Korea,
Tibet, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

/The exact date can fall anytime between 21 January and 21 February
(inclusive) of the Gregorian Calendar./

Here are a few more new years.

* /Islamic New Year --- This may be the only major new year
celebration that is based on a purely lunar calendar/
* /Rosh Hashanah --- In the Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah
begins at sundown on the 29th day of the month of Elul/
* /Thai New Year (Songkran) --- Although the traditional Thai
calendar is also lunisolar, Songkran is determined on a purely
solar basis/
* /Tsagaan Sar, Mongolian lunisolar new year/
* /Sinhala and Tamil new year celebrated in Sri Lanka coincides
with Thai New Year. It is based on an astrological event
within lunisolar calendar/
* /Ugadi & Gudi Padwa --- This is the New Year's Day for the
Deccan people of India, who also use a lunisolar calendar/

The Wikipedia link (below) lists all the different "new years" by month
of the year.

Today is a special day for the first Internet Friend I really talked to and got to know a bit.

Hi Chris, thank you very for your friend request. It is my pleasure and honor to be one of your friends. But unfortunately, you don't show in my friend list in my homepage after I accepted. This same thing happened to one of my new friend too. I am supposed to have 11 friends till now, but zorpia still says I have 9. You and another new friend are not in my friend list. Is something wrong with zorpia again?

Jane it is an honour to have you as a friend.... If you click on "all friends" on your home page, all 11 friends do show up. May be it takes a little time to show them on home page! lol . All the social networks has bugs! not just Zorpia. If after a few days Your friends list is still not showing all, then write an email support@zorpia.com I am sure it will be sorted soon.

I think you are the only other Chinese friend I have who lives IN china. I have a few others who live in Hong Kong and Singapore. I met Jeffrey at the Zorpia HQ when on my trip round the world. Jeff is the owner of Zorpia.

The problem was fixed, Chris. I posted a topic to seek help from Zorpian team, seems they worked for me! You are there now! Hooray! ^_^

There are more than 1.3 billion Chinese people living in China and I am the only one to be your friends. Don't you think my honor is greater than yours? ^_^. I remember Jeffrey, I got his help when I was first becoming the Zorpian member. He is a wise young man to establish Zorpia which becomes a well-known and popular international website.

Well I do have one other very good friend in Bejing, we met in Zorpia. I have known her about two years now. I have another Hong Kong friend who is half Chinese half New Zealander, I met Jefferey when Hong Kong, and his parents, and two other Chinese people who work in Zorpia Office. And my wife's young son married a chinese lady who's parents are both Chinese from Hong Kong now living in UK. That wedding was about 18 months ago. Jeff by the way speaks VERY good English, hardly sounded chinese at all. Though his fluent in Chinese. in last years new year Jeff was interviewd on Chinese TV, and he recorded me saying Happy New Year in Chinese! lol So I have appeared on Chinese TV ! (about 3 seconds lol)

So much good news, Chris! Congratulation to you, especially about the 3 seconds on Chinese TV. ^_^.

People living in Hong Kong usually speak cantonese and also good English too. Yes, I think Jeff can especially speak very good English, after all he is the owner of Zorpia.lol

By the way, Chris, you said "my wife's young son", what is it about? I think you can also say "my young son" too, is that so?

Dilys, my wife, and I both have children from previous marriages. I have one son, Timothy, who runs an Internet Service provider company with a friend of his, He was born in 1972 to my first wife Christine. She left me after about 7 or 8 years. Dilys' First husband left her in 1988, and they had two sons. Dilys & I re met each other in 1989, and I moved to Scarborough and we spent two years getting to know each other before deciding to marry in 1992. Neither of us wanted to make another mistake, we lived in separate houses near each other for those two years before marriage.

Tell me more about your self, if you want. I'd like to know more. But you can do it in a more private way if you prefer, in a Personal message. :)
