The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
WHO WE ARE
Just what is Chinese New Year?
There's actually a lot more to it than lion dances and firecrackers, although these two pieces of tradition are integral and more visible, Chinese New Year to China is like Christmas to the West. In essence, Chinese New Year is spending time with family, gift giving and, the all important, food-fest.
Chinese New Year begins according to the Chinese calendar which consists of both Gregorian and lunar-solar calendar systems.
Because the track of the new moon changes from year to year, Chinese New Year can begin anytime between late January and mid-February.
Below is a chart that shows the beginning day of Chinese New Year and the animal sign for that year.
