Now it is more common to organize activities by groups, such as New Year's Eve parties, hanging banners celebrating New Year's Day, or holding collective activities. In the past, there were organizations beating gongs and drums and dancing national dance collectively. Now it can be seen on TV documentaries. Today, with the development of science and technology, it has evolved into a party or something.
现在比较普遍的就是由团体组织的活动，如元旦联欢会、挂庆祝元旦的标语、或举行集体活动等，以前就有组织敲锣打鼓、集体跳民族舞的，现在在电视记录片上还能看到，到科技发展的今天，就演变为联欢晚会什么的了。
近年更是有旅游、聚会等节目，反正元旦这天并没有太多的传统，在这一天假期了就任人发挥了。甚至，元旦这天对年轻一代来说只意味着一天的假期。In recent years, there are more programs such as tours, gatherings and so on. Anyway, there is not much tradition on New Year's Day. On this day, the inaugurators play their part. Even New Year's Day means only one day's holiday for the younger generation.
