元旦”的“元”，指開(kāi)始，是第一的意思，凡數之始稱(chēng)為“元”;“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太陽(yáng)，下面的“一”代表地平線(xiàn)。“旦”即太陽(yáng)從地平線(xiàn)上冉冉升起，象征一日的開(kāi)始。人們把“元”和“旦”兩個(gè)字結合起來(lái)，就引申為新年開(kāi)始的第一天。元旦又稱(chēng)“三元”，即歲之元、月之元、時(shí)之元。元旦一詞最早始于三皇五帝，唐房玄齡等人寫(xiě)的《晉書(shū)》上載:“顓帝以孟春正月為元，其時(shí)正朔元旦之春。”即把正月稱(chēng)為元，初一為旦。南朝梁人蘭子云的《介雅》詩(shī)也云:“四氣新元旦，萬(wàn)壽初今朝。”
還有個(gè)傳說(shuō)，是在4000多年前遠古的堯舜盛世之時(shí)，堯天子在位時(shí)勤政于民為百姓辦了很多好事，很受廣大百姓愛(ài)戴，但因其子無(wú)才不太成器，他沒(méi)把“天子”的皇位傳給自己的兒子，而是傳給了品德才能兼備的舜。堯對舜說(shuō):“你今后一定要把帝位傳交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后來(lái)舜把帝位傳給了治洪水有功的禹，禹亦像舜那樣親民愛(ài)民為百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人愛(ài)戴。后來(lái)人們把堯死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝堯的那一天，當作一年的開(kāi)始之日，把正月初一稱(chēng)為“元旦”，或“元正”，這就是古代的元旦。
