有记载的最早的庆祝新年的活动是在约4000年前的古巴比伦进行的。当时的历法和如今不同,所以巴比伦人在3月下旬春分后的第一个新月期间迎来新的一年。集体的庆祝仪式被称为阿基图节,这一节日会持续11天。虽然这一庆祝活动是为了纪念太阳神马杜克的重生,但巴比伦人为了被众神庇护,会做出承诺,他们觉得这将帮助他们开启新年的开门红。
Resolutions continued on with the Romans. When the early Roman calendar no longer synced up with the sun, Julius Caesar decided to make a change. He consulted with the best astronomers and mathematicians of the time and introduced the Julian calendar, which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today. Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year to honor the god of new beginnings, Janus. The Romans celebrated the New Year by offering sacrifices to Janus.
罗马人延续了这种做出承诺的做法。当早期的罗马日历不再与太阳同步时,凯撒大帝决定做出改变。他请教了当时最好的天文学家和数学家,并引入了儒略历,它更接近于我们今天使用的现代历法。凯撒大帝宣布1月1日为新年的第一天,以纪念善始善终之神雅努斯。罗马人通过向雅努斯献祭来庆祝新年。
To this day, the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue on around the world. So much so that Google launched a Resolution Map in 2017 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time. However, no matter how many people participated in Google’s project, the numbers are bleak when it comes to the amount of people who maintain their resolutions; only 9.2 percent of people are successful in sticking them out.
