What exactly is Chinese New Year?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Also known as Lunar New Year and sometimes the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year is an annual celebration that falls sometime between the 21st of January and the 20th of February. Typically, it lasts for 15 days in total, beginning with the new moon right until the next full moon.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a history potentially dating back thousands of years, this festival is tied to the lunar calendar which changes every year, hence why it starts on a different date. Repeating on a cycle, each year in the lunar calendar is named after a different zodiac animal, with there being 12 in total – the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to the other New Year that you\u2019re probably already a lot more familiar with and celebrated on the 1st of January, Chinese New Year is all about saying goodbye to the last year and ringing in the new one. This festival is celebrated worldwide, particularly in East and Southeast Asian culture.<\/span><\/p>\n
