The Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, which is set to start on January 29 this year, is the most significant holiday in the Chinese calendar and is traditionally a time for family reunions.
Consequently, spanning 15 days, the Chinese New Year marks the start of the Lunar calendar year. This year’s celebrations will kick off on January 29. The festival is rooted in the lunar calendar, which is based on the moon’s cycles, starting with the first new moon and concluding with the first full moon.
