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.
