Get ready to say goodbye to the old, hello to the new! What＇s the occasion （时刻）？ The coming of the New Year. Many Western cultures measure their days with the solar （阳历） calendar. Therefore, they observe the coming of the New Year on January 1. Cultures in Asia and the Middle East use other calendars, such as the more ancient lunar calendar. They celebrate the New Year at other times.
