Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival
is the most important of the traditional
Chinese holidays. It consists of a
period of celebrations, starting on New
Year's Day, celebrated on the first day
of the first month of the Chinese calendar.
This is the day of the second new moon
after the winter solstice, unless there
is an intercalary eleventh or twelfth
month in the lead-up to the New Year.
In such a case, the New Year falls on
the day of the third new moon after the
solstice. (The next time this occurs is
in 2033.) The Chinese New Year period
ends with the Lantern Festival, on the
fifteenth day of the festival.
