How The World Celebrates Lunar New Year

[gisellacao]

Chinese people have been celebrating the Spring Festival for more than 4, 000 years. The time of the Spring Festival is calculated by the Nanjing Zijin Observatory according to the Chinese calendar and the phases of the moon in central china, and is called Chinese New Year. If the Chinese New Year is celebrated in other countries on the same day as the Chinese New Year, then it is rightly called Chinese New Year, but if it is not celebrated on the same day as the Chinese New Year, then please follow your own country's calendar to calculate your own New Year‘s time. All in all, please respect traditional Chinese culture, not as simple as changing the name of a holiday.

I love Lunar New Year, it’s the main historical event of China’s culture. And my friends were going to start the show at school two months ago this Chinese New Year 🧧.

@J L Chinese new year 係為左分別新曆，傳統上大家都是過新年，但lunar new year就免了，無知才會跟風。

It is Chinese New Year. Lunar New Year is wrong because this new year isn't base on lunar calendar. If you want to be exclusive then you can use Chunjie which mean Spring Festival

拜登将中国新年说成“Lunar New Year（月亮新年）”，除了偏见、居心叵测，还有他十足的无知！中国的农历, 又称为“黄历”“黄帝历”，相传是黄帝命人所作，属于复杂的阴阳历，内容包括：
（1）太阳历（Solar
（2）月亮历（Lunar
（3）岁星纪年法（Jupiter
New Year）”。
不能称“月亮新年（Lunar New

Year）”标志一年的开端（Lunar New Year），极不妥当，极不吉利，是相学中的大忌！
如果谁喜欢“Lunar New

New New or relating to or associated with the moon”，是“属于或关于或与月球有关的”，“Lunar New Calendar New Year”，距离中国人的“过年”也差十万八千里！

My ethnicity is Chinese ‘华人’ but not citizen from China'中国人’--which also translate as Chinese. I celebrate CHINESE NEW YEAR bcoz of my ethnicity. If this festival be rename to others, Then, I should name the language I'm using now as 'Globalish'instead of English.

Happy Chinese new year, not lunar new year. Thank you

[Lucky-qdnh]

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!FYI Lunar New Year should be called as Chinese New Year because it's based on the Chinese calendar. CNY always happens in winter. Technically, Lunar New Year is the wrong term to say because the real Lunar New Year actually happens in summer. For those of you who say Chinese New Year is not inclusive and Lunar New Year is better, you really should respect culture origin. I assume British wouldn't want people to call English as "International language" and Koreans wouldn't want people to call Kpop as "Asian Pop", right?

Only got family member die one month before chinese new year call as lunar new year, condolences to family who let their love ones.

Please make sure you are using the right term to Chinese New year as using “lunar new year” this term will cause serious cultural appropriation issues!

Firstly Chinese New Year is the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar， which is based on a combination between Chinese solar calendar and lunar calendar!

Therefore this is not appropriate to be called Lunar new year as it’s based on Lunisolar Chinese calendar rather than only lunar calendar please! So other Asian countries have been influenced by China to celebrate Chinese New Year! It doesn’t mean the term needs to change! Similar to Christmas, there are non-Christian also celebrate it nowadays and should the term also need to be altered based on this logic! Surely it’s not!

So it’s more appropriate to be called Chinese New Year!

[worldwide_cruising]

*PHENOMENAL to see that, I love these celebration parties!* 😈🥰👍

[nickylyn]

You can say a happy lunar new year to anyone but do not say it to Chinese people, the Chinese don't recognize it, thank you, and also lunar represents the moon, it's a part of the Chinese calendar, not equal to the whole Chinese calendar, which the one people so-called lunar calendar. That means the holiday based on the lunar calendar is not a Chinese new year based on the Chinese calendar.

설날, 크리스마스, 유럽문명, 중국문명은 모두 한국에서 유래됐다.Lunar New Year, Christmas, European civilization, and Chinese civilization all originated in Korea.
