1930年蔣介石的國民政府廢除了農曆年,只用公曆年。當時的林語堂曾專門撰文紀念:The National Government of China has officially abolished the lunar New Year, but the lunar New Year is still with us, and refuses to be abolished. 不過那時候也稱中國新年:How I Celebrated the New Year by Lin Yutang, 1930. The old Chinese new year, of the lunar calendar, was the greatest festival in the year for the Chinese people, compared with which every other festival seemed lacking in completeness of the holiday spirit.
