What is the Chinese New Year <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese New Year is the Chinese festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese calendar. The festival has a history of over 3,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival is usually referred to as the Spring Festival in mainland China, and is one of several Lunar New Years in Asia. This festival marks a new year on the lunar calendar and represents the desire for a new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date of the Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar: the holiday falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice on December 21. Thus, each time the New Year in China falls on different dates of the usual Gregorian calendar, between January 21 and February 20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival lasts for about 23 days, ending on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the following year in the Chinese calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
