chinese_new_year

A holiday celebrating the New Year, also called "Spring Festival" (春节), in the traditional Chinese calendar, a lunisolar calendar, falling sometime between January 21 and February 20. It is mainly celebrated in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, in countries with significant Chinese populations, and in Chinatowns elsewhere. It is broadly called "Lunar New Year" because several other "new year" holidays such as Seollal (Korean New Year) and Tết (Vietnamese New Year) are also celebrated around the same time.
