 This post is taken from IZULAT blog repost here

Perhaps one who is not aware that January 1 is not the ultimate new year date will think it is. But the truth new year January 1 is not  the new year actually, it is just a new year on the Gregorian calendar and not on all calendars use by man. There are other people who don’t celebrate new year on January 1 like for example the Chinese people.

January one is not always new year it depends on what calendar one use. January one is just the new year on a Gregorian calendar. There are calendars like (1) Assyrian calendar, (2 )Bengali calendar,(3) Berber calendar,(4)Chinese calendar,(5) Umma calendar, and other calendars.

Calendar is a way of managing time. It is the organizing of days according to Wikipedia wherein days is the rotation of planet earth on its axis. According to the information in the internet, there are four types of calendars, namely : (1)solar (2) lunar (3)lunisolar, and (4) seasonal.

Gregorian calendar which some use to make new year January 1 is a solar calendar.

The main point : January one is not actually the ultimate new year but just a new year on the Gregorian calendar.
