About Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year, also called Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, marks the first day of the traditional Chinese lunisolar year. It is widely observed across Chinese communities and many parts of East and Southeast Asia, with traditions including reunion meals, red envelopes, decorations, temple visits, fireworks, and family travel. The date falls between 21 January and 20 February in the Gregorian calendar and is associated with one of the twelve zodiac animals. Cultural practices differ by region and diaspora community. timekit uses the date already present in its religious holidays calendar, computed by the site's Chinese lunisolar calendar engine, rather than recalculating the festival here.
