In the Chinese culture, the new year is the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar. According to the Western calendar, February 16 marked the beginning of the Chinese New Year — also known as Spring Festival — the longest and most important celebration for Chinese families across the globe. Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, meaning it is based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is celebrated on a different date each year.
