1, The festival day doesn't mean the beginning of spring, In that calendar you talked about, we have 24 significant days in a year, and the spring festival is not one. it's the last day of the year, and what's celebrated is crossing into a new year.
2, Sure it's celebrated around the world, but look who are the people celebrating? Not you
3, which idiot translate it to THE LANTERN FESTIVAL, did Hal Jordan do something on that day? it's name after a certain food like always, we are obsessed with food, the lanterns are just pretty and festive, totally sidekicks. Wayward my ass, that's Japan.
4, there might b couple of thousands people doing this renting a BF/GF thing, 95% of them ads are scams. It's good to know the media is all on this topic and blow it way out of portion, excellent journalism, now do it to Trump.

Lunar New Year, NOT Chinese New Year as other Asian nations have the same holiday. Term 'Lunar' has been used for decades.
