Every year, enormous numbers of people in Eurpe celebrate New Year's Eve, or New Year's Day, and, while doing this, often feel that some event that affects the whole universe, or something like an eclipse, must be occurring at that important hour of midnight. ..... In this way, human beings have had a lot of trouble in trying to 'date the start of the New Year': that is to say, to decide on what day a year begins, and for how many days and parts of a day it continues, before the next year begins.――関西大学（商・総合情報・工学部）――2002年
