Maybe we should not calling “English” as English,because Canadian ,American,Australian …even Singaporean from Asia ,they all treat English as their mother language.
It is far more appropriate to use the term Chinese New Year, because it is a blend of solar and lunar calendar. In this speech the term Chinese actually refers to Sinitic, so it means the New Year of Sinosphere. It's weird that Koreans and Vietnamese are so offended by this term. After all, escalating enough astronomy knowledges is required to make a calendar. And only ancient China did
I’m Korean and I don’t really care that it’s widely known as CNY cuz it is where the whole Asian new year thing originated from. But when I’m celebrating it with my family I wouldn’t call it CNY because I’m not Chinese so it’s weird 😅 we have a separate Korean word for it. Saying Korean new year sounds weird to me in English too cuz people don’t really know about it so I just say LNY for simplicity if I’m celebrating it the Korean way. If I’m celebrating with my Chinese friends and following their cultural practices, I would say CNY.
The most appropriate term to use is "Chinese New Year." The term "Lunar" refers to the calendar system of the Arab region, whereas the Chinese New Year follows the traditional Chinese calendar-the agricultural calendar, which is a lunisolar system deeply rooted in China’s unique geographical conditions, climatic patterns, and agricultural traditions. Historically, Vietnam, North Korea, and South Korea were either once part of Chinese territory or tributary states. To this day, the traditional Chinese calendar remains formulated and issued by China. People in South Korea, North Korea, and Vietnam must still rely on China to determine the exact date of their New Year celebrations. As the suzerain state, China’s cultural influence overwhelmingly dominated its neighboring regions-a fact that these countries now downplay or revise to cultivate their own national identities. This is also tied to modern-era sentiments of contempt and rejection toward China, fueled by its temporary decline in recent history. Thus, using the term "Lunar" is extremely misguided, while "agricultural calendar" remains unfamiliar to many and too obscure in common usage. The most fitting designation is "Chinese New Year," with the transliteration of "Chun Jie" (Spring Festival) as a secondary option.
@@CreamPeakon Nobody would have any troule if you say Chinese New Year to the Chinese, it is the fact that western brands use that term to other Asian countries that offend people since their tradition and culture is not a copycat of China
@@katielee8880 that's so damn true, I think all asian country who celebrates this festival just need to say it in term of their own language to western people, who cares whether they can or can't pronounce it.
Chinese New Year originated from China about 3000 years ago using the Solar and Lunar movement combination to calculate the first day of the year and it falls sometime on the spring season hence called spring festival or 春节, and later it spreads throughout East Asia and it was adopted by the surrounding regions and countries. Later with the combination of cultural diversity and differences in ethnicities it evolved into different names and practices to suit the local populace.
All of China's history, culture, and customs are recorded in historical literature and archaeology written by ancient people, while South Korea takes science fiction historical novels written by modern people as real history. There is no historical literature written by ancient people, and there is no archaeological evidence. The funniest thing is that there are Chinese materials in Korean museums that prove that Korea used to be a vassal state of China. Koreans treat it as a treasure, but they cannot understand the content inside and do not recognize it as a vassal state of China! Lastly, why does South Korea claim everything to be its own instead of North Korea? Didn't North Korea and South Korea use to be the one country?

No matter who we are we must respect the history. Chinese has involved with Korean for two thousand years till 1895, when the war with Japan broke up. untill then, chinese cultures were heavily rooted in Korea. Even today, the capital city of Korea was called 汉城， now has changed. Traveling in Korea, chinese characters as words of language can be seen everywhere. You can't say that they are lunna language, not chinese language.
Do you know why China successfully applied for the Spring Festival as a World Heritage Site? Cultural relics + documents. Vietnam's application failed because it mistranslated Confucius' famous saying (historically, Confucius never came to northern Vietnam, northern Vietnam once belonged to China, and Vietnam became independent from China during the Sino-French War in the 19th century) and lacked some of the 24 solar terms. South Korea failed because China had cultural relics evidence from an earlier period. In addition, I want to say: Vietnam and South Korea once belonged to China, and they used Chinese characters.

What am I missing here? So what’s the difference?….. Lunar new year is Chinese new year, and it’s better to call it Chinese new year as lunar could stand for a different calendar. Chinese new year is an inclusive holiday for all people to celebrate it. “Chinese” represents the Chinese culture, not just Chinese people. Just like a language could be spoken in many countries but it doesn’t change the name of that language (eg Mexicans speak Spanish). Happy Chinese new years guys! ❤️
Many countries in Asia celebrate Lunar New Year. Lunar New Year (general term) happens at the same time as Chinese New Year (same time in lunar calendar).
i think ppl calling it lunar new year in the recent years is bc calling it Chinese new year was racist bc it just wasn’t Chinese ppl who celebrated.

Here, I would like to popularise why it is called Chinese New Year: 1. Lunar New Year is a incorrect term as the festival is not based on a lunar calendar but a Chinese traditional lunisolar calendar (a combination of lunar, solar, 24 jieqi - agriculture terms and leap year). There are cultures in the world still celebrate the actual Lunar New Year, which is in July this year. 2. Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival ( Chun Jie) is originated from ancient China (around BC2000), based on the Chinese calendar, follows Chinese zodiac, and celebrated with Chinese traditions. It is by definition Chinese New Year; 3. Being celebrated by other people does not give anyone the right to change the name of the festival. The term Chinese here refers to the culture not the country. All the countries that celebrate it either have a significant Chinese population or have their culture rooted in ancient Chinese culture. Beside, English is originated from England being used elsewhere is still called English. Christmas is being celebrated widely by non-Christians still called Christmas. 4. Being inclusive does not mean to please the most number of people no matter what. We also need to make sure the accuracy behind the culture
But in China, the name of the festival is NOT Chinese New Year. Chinese people don't call it Chinese New Year in Chinese. They call it Xīnnián, literally means just New Year. So no one is changing any name of the festival. Lunar New Year is an English name for the festival, for English speaking folks, in English speaking countries. By your same rationale, why should Chinese have a monopoly on the English language?
@@andrewtran4468 The first baby, you have confused the point of my passage. In China, Chinese people collectively call the 春节，which translates to Chinese new year.Second, I don't mean to monopolize anything.

From what I know, the Japanese now celebrate their traditional "lunar" new year with the western Gregorian calendar and not the lunisolar calendar of ancient Chinese origin.
The Japanese New Year (正月, Shōgatsu) is an annual festival with its own customs. Since 1873, the official Japanese New Year has been celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar, on January 1 of each year, New Year's Day (元日, Ganjitsu). However, some traditional events of the Japanese New Year are partially celebrated on the first day of the year on the modern Tenpō calendar, the last official lunisolar calendar which was used until 1872 in Japan. There is also an associated festival of Little New Year (小正月, koshōgatsu), traditionally celebrating the first full moon of the new year, on the 15th day of the first lunar month (approximately mid-February). This is now sometimes celebrated on January 15, in various respects. The main events of Koshōgatsu are rites and practices praying for a bountiful harvest; rice gruel with adzuki beans (小豆粥, azukigayu) is traditionally eaten in the morning and is involved in the rice gruel divination ceremony.
@@RaymondHng Excellent, thanks for the information!! Incidentally, those Kanji characters "正月", are also one of the names Chinese people refer to their (Chinese) new year, but usually they would say 正月初一, which literally means first month first day.
"Chinese New Year" is an English term. Even the Chinese don't call it "Chinese New Year" in whatever dialect we speak. We either call it 春节 which means "season (time) of Spring" or 农历新年 which literally means "new year according to the agricultural calendar".

Nobody is changing anything. The New Year is called Spring Festival or simply New Year in Chinese. It is NOT called Chinese New Year in Chinese. The Lunar New Year is the English term for the festival, for English speaking folks. If Chinese don't like that, tough luck. You don't have a monopoly on the English language. So no permission needed from China. China is not the boss of the world.

Are the Chinese calling (Solar) New Year Italian New Year since the system came from Italy? I guess not. Why do Chinese people obsess so much about useless China's trivial influence? If the Chinese were not allowed to use Western culture, they would instantly go back to the feudal era lifestyle. The Chinese influence is negligible, and they have an over-inflated pride. In the meantime, they continue to infringe on the intellectual property rights of other countries without permission. Seems like people who have a lot of intellectual problems. Happy Lunar New Year to Mongols, Vietnam, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian,... and happy something unique to Chinese. lol
In the Chinese horoscope, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit or, more specifically, the Year of the Water Rabbit. The rabbit is believed to be the luckiest of the 12 animals to be born under and considered a gentle animal that thinks before acting. The Year of the Rabbit represents peaceful and patient energy. As the lore goes, the rabbit was among the 12 animals who raced to the Jade Emperor in a cosmic contest that ultimately determined the order of the Chinese zodiac signs. 2:33 Sources: NBC News; Western Union
While the dragon is probably the best chinese zodiac to be born under, but theres more competition because due to the high amounts of people born in the year of the dragon means there'll be more competition which makes it harder for dragon people to get into university
Yeah, this video didn’t actually explain the difference at all. Many countries have lunar new years celebrations that have their origins in China. Many of these countries have made these celebrations their own, such as Korea, which has many of its own unique traditions surrounding the holiday, while not observing many of China’s traditions. It’s so different that calling the Korean New Year (Seollal) Chinese New Year is simply inappropriate. On the other hand, the video mentions countries like Thailand. That’s a different situation, as they have a true Chinese New Year celebration, as theirs is by and for people with Chinese heritage and is based more directly on Chinese traditions. It is not their traditional new year holiday. Their traditional new year is Songkran, in April, and they share the date of this holiday with other countries. If you refer to specifically Chinese celebrations only as “Lunar New Year” it erases the differences between how it is celebrated in China and the unique celebrations other countries have. If you’re going to call it Lunar New Year, talk about the unique traditions of countries that aren’t China. If you’re only going to show Chinese traditions, call it Chinese New Year. Also I prefer East Asian Lunar New Year because there are other lunar calendars, and yes I know it’s actually a lunisolar calendar.
you can’t call it Lunar New Year because it doesn’t even use the Lunar Calendar. It is based on Lunisolar Calendar, which is Chinese. So no, Lunar New Year is actually naive and incorrect.

@TSG 302W This is incorrect. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the "Three Orthodox Calendars" were formulated. During the Warring States Period, a more accurate "four-point calendar" was created. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was reformed into the "Taichu Calendar" with fewer errors. In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to "Da Yanli". In the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to "Shoushi Calendar". In the Ming Dynasty, it was revised to "Da Tong Li". The "Datongli" was used until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the error became larger. Many people think it should be revised. Including the German missionary Johann Adam Schall von Bell also wrote a letter, so the missionaries participated in the revision of the "Chongzhen New Calendar". But the Ming Dynasty died. After the political turmoil, Kangxi promulgated a new calendar revised by Johann Adam Schall von Bell, called "Shixian Calendar". The "Shixian Calendar" is a revision of the calendar. However, the "Shixian Calendar" was of course revised again in Qianlong and Daoguang. In the third year of the Republic of China, the "Xinfa Astronomical Summer Calendar" was compiled, also known as the "Modern Guimao Yuan Calendar". In the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929), the "National Calendar of the 19th Year of the Republic of China" was published at the Institute of Astronomy of the Nanjing Academia Sinica based on the "Central Plains Standard Time". In 1959, 1984, and 1986, it was revised many times. Because the revision in 1929 was very critical, the Institute of Astronomy is located in Zijin Mountain, so everyone calls it the "Zijin Calendar". This is the lunisolar calendar we use now. Therefore, the Chinese calendar was certainly not invented by Johann Adam Schall von Bell. Johann Adam Schall von Bell’s calculation is just one of the constant revisions of the Chinese calendar for thousands of years. For correcting errors, his version was superior to other versions of the time. Since then, the calendar has been continuously revised. Giving Johann Adam Schall von Bell the merits of invention is just a pseudo-history of de-Sinicization, another kind of cultural plunder.
@TSG 302W their bloodlines say otherwise. Its pathetic you would assume others have no rights to appreciate their own culture just because of some contemporary political issues, but I'm guessing you are probably from a particular country with little to no history, and it brings nothing but bitterness to you to see others thrive 😉
lol this video literally didn't explain the difference between Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year. All of the traditions shown in this video are undeniably from Chinese New Year... Historically the Chinese New Year greatly influenced other countries' new year celebrations. There are some differences though. For example, Koreans don't use the color red. Instead they wear white, and give white envelopes. So in order to be inclusive we call it Lunar New Year when speaking to broad groups of people. It's important to understand that the Chinese did invent the ancient lunisolar calendar which determines the date that the LNY falls on.

Lunar calendar was invented in China but that doesn't mean that new year based on lunar calendar is "Chinese", otherwise its name is "Chinese calendar new year".

Trust me. Almost everyone calls it Chinese new Year. All people who insist to call it Luna new year are mostly from south Korea and little bit from Vietnam. Funny phenomenon.
We must call it *"Happy Chinese, Korean, North Korean, Taiwanese, Japan (before Meiji restoration), Vietnam, et al., once imported Chinese calendars, before the Gregorian calendar, but the Mainland Chinese recently claimed its copyright, New Year"*
Basically they just randomly asked some Asian Americans who were born in the US assuming they know Chinese history & culture... That's how the West learns about China mostly since like forever by having the blind leading the blind. It asked the question but failed to define it fundamentally nor has it really answer the 2 questions it posted... Basically Lunar New Year is celebrated on the 1st day of the 1st month of the Chinese lunar calendar which is based on the cycles of the moon while the western calendar aka Gregorian calendar or solar calendar is calculated by the movement of the sun. That explains why Lunar New Year are on different days of the Western calendar we use today. While many countries in Asia that celebrates the Lunar New Year only shows the historical facts of how Chinese cultural has huge impact and influence to these countries as well as showing how Chinese have migrated to overseas to various countries throughout millennia. To answer the second part of the question is that different countries celebrate the Lunar New Year differently in terms of how many dates they treat it as a holiday as well as the ceremonial custom itself.

Yes, it definites not Chinese New Year according the original Chinese-English translation. I see some Chinese here to claim this is chinese new year, I think they're just a mistake of creator.
This is a festival that originated from China, according to the Lunisolar calendar which is the Chinese calendar, NOT the lunar Calendar. Some Chinese didn’t know this, I did not know this either before I study it. So it's CHINESE NEW YEAR. People call this festival “Chinese New Year” for many years, Think about why this name has suddenly be changed in these two years.
@@lotusjuly4335 you sound like a stupid. Chinese call it spring festival and agriculture new year so why we call it Chinese new year? Like we should call Chinese capital instead of Beijing? Should we call Covid-19 is Chinese virus because it's origin from China too.
@@jeremie_gamingboy Which national organization said that COVID-19 originated from China? WHO went to China to investigate the origin of COVID-19 for two months in 2021. The conclusion is that the origin of COVID-19 is uncertain (meaning that you can’t assume it’s from China). I started out with the kind intention of wanting to share my knowledge of the festival with you, but your reply sounds biased and stupid. English is spoken by several countries besides England, yet the name remains as English. Why must we change the traditional name of the festival that we’ve used for so many years? I won’t waste my time talking to you anymore.
There are many people in Korea or Vietnam or other Asia countries claim it is not Chinese new year, but please learn more China history, Chinese history has over 5000 years, different dynastys, it will teach them! Yes, Lunar new year is not only used by China, and the reason why we call it Chinese new year is not only because we celebrate it, but only because it is not a simple lunar calendar, it is special Chinese calendar, some kind of lunisolar calendar.
Wishing all the Chinese around the world a 🐰 *Happy Chinese New Year (CNY)* 🐇 and exceptionally special to all the lunatics a *Happy Lunar New Year (LNY) !!!* 😊 🏮🎋🧧🎆🍊 *恭喜發財*
@@MrBravoamigo Lunatic derives from the Latin luna, “moon.” The notion that the moon causes certain kinds of madness or induces dangerous aspects of our personalities has been around for millennia; Aristotle and Pliny the Elder, for instance, suggested the light of the moon affected mental health.
@@hotpotato7392 I certainly know the meaning of lunatic derived from la lune. But why mix lunar and lunatics causing confusion! They are too distinctively different in meaning. Mockery about lunatics celebrating lunar new year is just senseless.
@@MrBravoamigo *Chinese Calendar* The Chinese Calendar is the longest chronological record in history. The beginnings of the Chinese calendar can be traced back to the 14th century B.C.E. Legend has it that the Emperor Huang Ti (Yellow Emperor) of *China* introduced the first cycle of the zodiac calendar in 2637 B.C.E. The Chinese calendar is based on exact astronomical observations of the *longitude of the sun and the phases of the moon.* From the earliest records, the beginning of the year coincided with a new moon near the Winter Solstice. Just because there is a relationship with the moon, that does not mean it should be referred to as a lunar calender thus a Lunar new year. *Julian & Gregorian Calendar* As for the Gregorian calendar, its original goal was to change the date of Easter. In 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII introduced his Gregorian calendar, Europe adhered to the Julian calendar, first implemented by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. Since the Roman emperor’s system miscalculated the length of the solar year by 11 minutes, the calendar had since fallen out of sync with the seasons. This concerned Gregory because it meant that Easter, traditionally observed on March 21, fell further away from the spring equinox with each passing year. The papal bull issued by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 decreed that 10 days be skipped when switching to the Gregorian calendar. Only five countries; Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and most of France; adopted the new calendar system that year. *The 'Lost Days'* The US, Canada, and the UK dropped 11 days in 1752; Japan cut the year 1872 short by 12 days; and some countries, such as Russia, Greece, and Turkey, switched calendars as late as the early 20th century, so they had to omit 13 days. In North America, for example, the month of September 1752 had only 19 days, as the day count went straight from September 2 to September 14. In total, it took more than three centuries to fully switch into using the present-day Gregorian calendar and adopted by all the countries, from 1582 to 1927. *Summary* Now, since people around the world are celebrating *a new year based* on the *Chinese calendar* that originated from China, then it is just appropriate to refer it as a *Chinese New Year.* The same would apply if we are following and using an Indian calendar, then it would be an Indian New Year, and so on and so forth. So... *Happy Chinese New Year !!!* ... or if one is Sinophobic and not like it, then... *Happy China's New Year !!!* 😊 *P.S.* As we all know, there's an abundance of politically insane people around nowadays. 🤷🏻♂️
The Korean origin theory is the idea that the Korean Peninsula is the birthplace of the cultures of other countries. This includes referring to the culture and technology of China, Japan, and the world as being created and invented on the Korean Peninsula, claiming that celebrities from other countries are descendants of Koreans, and claiming that a celebrity is of Korean descent. There are also many rumors and fake news on this theme in Chinese mainland, Japan and other places.

The lunar New Year includes Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese New Years. The political and cultural influence of ancient China made the Lunar New Year in various countries became their own way of celebrating Chinese New Year. It can be said that foreigners' perception of lunar New Year is almost equal to Chinese New Year, and it's celebrated in Asian countries like China Taiwan Malasia Singapore where han culture dominate.

Maybe we should not calling “English” as English,because Canadian ,American,Australian …even Singaporean from Asia ,they all treat English as their mother language.
It is far more appropriate to use the term Chinese New Year, because it is a blend of solar and lunar calendar. In this speech the term Chinese actually refers to Sinitic, so it means the New Year of Sinosphere. It's weird that Koreans and Vietnamese are so offended by this term. After all, escalating enough astronomy knowledges is required to make a calendar. And only ancient China did
I’m Korean and I don’t really care that it’s widely known as CNY cuz it is where the whole Asian new year thing originated from. But when I’m celebrating it with my family I wouldn’t call it CNY because I’m not Chinese so it’s weird 😅 we have a separate Korean word for it. Saying Korean new year sounds weird to me in English too cuz people don’t really know about it so I just say LNY for simplicity if I’m celebrating it the Korean way. If I’m celebrating with my Chinese friends and following their cultural practices, I would say CNY.
The most appropriate term to use is "Chinese New Year." The term "Lunar" refers to the calendar system of the Arab region, whereas the Chinese New Year follows the traditional Chinese calendar-the agricultural calendar, which is a lunisolar system deeply rooted in China’s unique geographical conditions, climatic patterns, and agricultural traditions. Historically, Vietnam, North Korea, and South Korea were either once part of Chinese territory or tributary states.
To this day, the traditional Chinese calendar remains formulated and issued by China. People in South Korea, North Korea, and Vietnam must still rely on China to determine the exact date of their New Year celebrations. As the suzerain state, China’s cultural influence overwhelmingly dominated its neighboring regions-a fact that these countries now downplay or revise to cultivate their own national identities. This is also tied to modern-era sentiments of contempt and rejection toward China, fueled by its temporary decline in recent history.
Thus, using the term "Lunar" is extremely misguided, while "agricultural calendar" remains unfamiliar to many and too obscure in common usage. The most fitting designation is "Chinese New Year," with the transliteration of "Chun Jie" (Spring Festival) as a secondary option.
I wonder where did this "chinese new year vs. lunar new year" argument came from?
@@CreamPeakon Nobody would have any troule if you say Chinese New Year to the Chinese, it is the fact that western brands use that term to other Asian countries that offend people since their tradition and culture is not a copycat of China
@@katielee8880 that's so damn true, I think all asian country who celebrates this festival just need to say it in term of their own language to western people, who cares whether they can or can't pronounce it.
Chinese New Year originated from China about 3000 years ago using the Solar and Lunar movement combination to calculate the first day of the year and it falls sometime on the spring season hence called spring festival or 春节, and later it spreads throughout East Asia and it was adopted by the surrounding regions and countries. Later with the combination of cultural diversity and differences in ethnicities it evolved into different names and practices to suit the local populace.
i was looking for this kind of info that actually digs the facts about this festivity from its origins. THANK YOU..
All of China's history, culture, and customs are recorded in historical literature and archaeology written by ancient people, while South Korea takes science fiction historical novels written by modern people as real history. There is no historical literature written by ancient people, and there is no archaeological evidence. The funniest thing is that there are Chinese materials in Korean museums that prove that Korea used to be a vassal state of China. Koreans treat it as a treasure, but they cannot understand the content inside and do not recognize it as a vassal state of China!

No matter who we are we must respect the history. Chinese has involved with Korean for two thousand years till 1895, when the war with Japan broke up. untill then, chinese cultures were heavily rooted in Korea. Even today, the capital city of Korea was called 汉城， now has changed. Traveling in Korea, chinese characters as words of language can be seen everywhere. You can't say that they are lunna language, not chinese language.
Do you know why China successfully applied for the Spring Festival as a World Heritage Site? Cultural relics + documents. Vietnam's application failed because it mistranslated Confucius' famous saying (historically, Confucius never came to northern Vietnam, northern Vietnam once belonged to China, and Vietnam became independent from China during the Sino-French War in the 19th century) and lacked some of the 24 solar terms. South Korea failed because China had cultural relics evidence from an earlier period. In addition, I want to say: Vietnam and South Korea once belonged to China, and they used Chinese characters.

I just can't wait for 2024 because it'll be the year for the best chinese zodiac sign
Here, I would like to popularise why it is called Chinese New Year: 1. Lunar New Year is a incorrect term as the festival is not based on a lunar calendar but a Chinese traditional lunisolar calendar (a combination of lunar, solar, 24 jieqi - agriculture terms and leap year). There are cultures in the world still celebrate the actual Lunar New Year, which is in July this year. 2. Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival ( Chun Jie) is originated from ancient China (around BC2000), based on the Chinese calendar, follows Chinese zodiac, and celebrated with Chinese traditions. It is by definition Chinese New Year; 3. Being celebrated by other people does not give anyone the right to change the name of the festival. The term Chinese here refers to the culture not the country. All the countries that celebrate it either have a significant Chinese population or have their culture rooted in ancient Chinese culture. Beside, English is originated from England being used elsewhere is still called English. Christmas is being celebrated widely by non-Christians still called Christmas. 4. Being inclusive does not mean to please the most number of people no matter what. We also need to make sure the accuracy behind the culture
But in China, the name of the festival is NOT Chinese New Year. Chinese people don't call it Chinese New Year in Chinese. They call it Xīnnián, literally means just New Year. So no one is changing any name of the festival. Lunar New Year is an English name for the festival, for English speaking folks, in English speaking countries. By your same rationale, why should Chinese have a monopoly on the English language?
@@andrewtran4468 The first baby, you have confused the point of my passage.

Happy Chinese lunar new year(happy Chinese Chunjie)
From what I know, the Japanese now celebrate their traditional "lunar" new year with the western Gregorian calendar and not the lunisolar calendar of ancient Chinese origin.
The Japanese New Year (正月, Shōgatsu) is an annual festival with its own customs. Since 1873, the official Japanese New Year has been celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar, on January 1 of each year, New Year's Day (元日, Ganjitsu). However, some traditional events of the Japanese New Year are partially celebrated on the first day of the year on the modern Tenpō calendar, the last official lunisolar calendar which was used until 1872 in Japan.
There is also an associated festival of Little New Year (小正月, koshōgatsu), traditionally celebrating the first full moon of the new year, on the 15th day of the first lunar month (approximately mid-February). This is now sometimes celebrated on January 15, in various respects. The main events of Koshōgatsu are rites and practices praying for a bountiful harvest; rice gruel with adzuki beans (小豆粥, azukigayu) is traditionally eaten in the morning and is involved in the rice gruel divination ceremony.
@@RaymondHng Excellent, thanks for the information!! Incidentally, those Kanji characters "正月", are also one of the names Chinese people refer to their (Chinese) new year, but usually they would say 正月初一, which literally means first month first day.
"Chinese New Year" is an English term. Even the Chinese don't call it "Chinese New Year" in whatever dialect we speak. We either call it 春节 which means "season (time) of Spring" or 农历新年 which literally means "new year according to the agricultural calendar".

Yeah, this video didn’t actually explain the difference at all. Many countries have lunar new years celebrations that have their origins in China. Many of these countries have made these celebrations their own, such as Korea, which has many of its own unique traditions surrounding the holiday, while not observing many of China’s traditions. It’s so different that calling the Korean New Year (Seollal) Chinese New Year is simply inappropriate.
On the other hand, the video mentions countries like Thailand. That’s a different situation, as they have a true Chinese New Year celebration, as theirs is by and for people with Chinese heritage and is based more directly on Chinese traditions. It is not their traditional new year holiday. Their traditional new year is Songkran, in April, and they share the date of this holiday with other countries.
If you refer to specifically Chinese celebrations only as “Lunar New Year” it erases the differences between how it is celebrated in China and the unique celebrations other countries have. If you’re going to call it Lunar New Year, talk about the unique traditions of countries that aren’t China. If you’re only going to show Chinese traditions, call it Chinese New Year.
Also I prefer East Asian Lunar New Year because there are other lunar calendars, and yes I know it’s actually a lunisolar calendar.
Please just choose your own date. If you follow Chinese convention and patterns then it should be CNY.

@TSG 302W This is incorrect.
During the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the "Three Orthodox Calendars" were formulated.
During the Warring States Period, a more accurate "four-point calendar" was created.
By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was reformed into the "Taichu Calendar" with fewer errors.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to "Da Yanli".
In the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to "Shoushi Calendar".
In the Ming Dynasty, it was revised to "Da Tong Li".
The "Datongli" was used until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the error became larger. Many people think it should be revised. Including the German missionary Johann Adam Schall von Bell also wrote a letter, so the missionaries participated in the revision of the "Chongzhen New Calendar".
But the Ming Dynasty died. After the political turmoil, Kangxi promulgated a new calendar revised by Johann Adam Schall von Bell, called "Shixian Calendar". The "Shixian Calendar" is a revision of the calendar.
However, the "Shixian Calendar" was of course revised again in Qianlong and Daoguang.
In the third year of the Republic of China, the "Xinfa Astronomical Summer Calendar" was compiled, also known as the "Modern Guimao Yuan Calendar".
In the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929), the "National Calendar of the 19th Year of the Republic of China" was published at the Institute of Astronomy of the Nanjing Academia Sinica based on the "Central Plains Standard Time".
In 1959, 1984, and 1986, it was revised many times.
Because the revision in 1929 was very critical, the Institute of Astronomy is located in Zijin Mountain, so everyone calls it the "Zijin Calendar".
This is the lunisolar calendar we use now.
Therefore, the Chinese calendar was certainly not invented by Johann Adam Schall von Bell.
Johann Adam Schall von Bell’s calculation is just one of the constant revisions of the Chinese calendar for thousands of years. For correcting errors, his version was superior to other versions of the time. Since then, the calendar has been continuously revised.
Giving Johann Adam Schall von Bell the merits of invention is just a pseudo-history of de-Sinicization, another kind of cultural plunder.

lol this video literally didn't explain the difference between Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year. All of the traditions shown in this video are undeniably from Chinese New Year... Historically the Chinese New Year greatly influenced other countries' new year celebrations. There are some differences though. For example, Koreans don't use the color red. Instead they wear white, and give white envelopes. So in order to be inclusive we call it Lunar New Year when speaking to broad groups of people. It's important to understand that the Chinese did invent the ancient lunisolar calendar which determines the date that the LNY falls on.
The most appropriate term to use is "Chinese New Year." The term "Lunar" refers to the calendar system of the Arab region, whereas the Chinese New Year follows the traditional Chinese calendar-the agricultural calendar, which is a lunisolar system deeply rooted in China’s unique geographical conditions, climatic patterns, and agricultural traditions. Historically, Vietnam, North Korea, and South Korea were either once part of Chinese territory or tributary states.
To this day, the traditional Chinese calendar remains formulated and issued by China. People in South Korea, North Korea, and Vietnam must still rely on China to determine the exact date of their New Year celebrations. As the suzerain state, China’s cultural influence overwhelmingly dominated its neighboring regions-a fact that these countries now downplay or revise to cultivate their own national identities. This is also tied to modern-era sentiments of contempt and rejection toward China, fueled by its temporary decline in recent history.
Thus, using the term "Lunar" is extremely misguided, while "agricultural calendar" remains unfamiliar to many and too obscure in common usage. The most fitting designation is "Chinese New Year," with the transliteration of "Chun Jie" (Spring Festival) as a secondary option.
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone❤🎉🎉

Lunar calendar was invented by the Chinese thousands of years agao. So, Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year or Spring Festival are the same thing. Many other Asian countries follow or are influenced by the same culture and custom (with some of the regional variations).
Lunar calendar was invented in China but that doesn't mean that new year based on lunar calendar is "Chinese", otherwise its name is "Chinese calendar new year". The term Chinese new year only means new year culture of China so it cannot be used as a representative term of new year celebrated in lots of asian countries

Do you remember the Korean VANK organization? It is a cyber army funded by the South Korean government. Do you remember the Li Ziqi incident? It is the cyber violence organized by VANK. The work of the VANK organization is specifically responsible for tampering with history. Turn Korea into the birthplace of world civilization. It's not often that you find Koreans saying in comments recently: This is Korean culture. South Korea is a developed country. Hanfu plagiarized Hanbok? In fact, you only need to watch Korean costume dramas from 20 years ago, and you will find that Koreans are stealing things again. Take a simple example. Dae Jang Geum TV series. Let's compare the costumes in the play with the costumes of Korean ancient TV dramas in the past two years. You will be able to discover the secret. I can understand a country's pursuit of culture, but the act of stealing is shameful.

Yin-yang calendar => Lunisolar calendar . Chinese New Year is called “Spring Festival “It is not calculated according to the lunar calendar ，but the lunisolar (Yin-Yang) calendar. If the new year is calculated according to the pure lunar calendar, the new year in August will appear as the year goes on... So how can it be on the same day with the Chinese New Year every year? To erase "Chinese" and use "Lunar" is to weaken the existence of China in culture.
Lunar New Year is Chinese New Year,is the Spring Festival.
and the calendar is based on lunar and solar.

Basically they just randomly asked some Asian Americans who were born in the US assuming they know Chinese history & culture... That's how the West learns about China mostly since like forever by having the blind leading the blind. It asked the question but failed to define it fundamentally nor has it really answer the 2 questions it posted... Basically Lunar New Year is celebrated on the 1st day of the 1st month of the Chinese lunar calendar which is based on the cycles of the moon while the western calendar aka Gregorian calendar or solar calendar is calculated by the movement of the sun. That explains why Lunar New Year are on different days of the Western calendar we use today. While many countries in Asia that celebrates the Lunar New Year only shows the historical facts of how Chinese cultural has huge impact and influence to these countries as well as showing how Chinese have migrated to overseas to various countries throughout millennia. To answer the second part of the question is that different countries celebrate the Lunar New Year differently in terms of how many dates they treat it as a holiday as well as the ceremonial custom itself.
Fun fact: Tet precedes Chinese civilization and was practiced by tribal people inhabiting Southern China all the way to present-day Vietnam. They were in fact not what is considered Chinese now. It is the Northern Barbarians (Chinese) who stole the culture from these bai yue tribes basically.

@@wanchuanmingyuezhurenweng Vietnam wasn't "part of China". It was a vassal of China. It's very different. Whoever the king of Vietnam was going to be had to be approved by the Chinese Emperor, but China didn't meddle in much of local affairs in Vietnam. Something else worth noting: The Vietnamese also pretty consistently kick out the Chinese every couple hundred years or so throughout history. Even since the time of the Han Dynasty, they've always saw themselves as a people distinct from Han Chinese, so, no...not "part of China".
And Mulan's "Chinese" in the same way Genghis Khan is "Chinese". Everything in the original poem/story indicates she was a Xianbei (proto-Monogl), not Han, which is how we always see her portrayed, even in China. Many people don't know that because they're so used to the animation, but yeah...

You do understand the the word "lunar" originated from Latin word"Lune"-moon. So do not mix with lunatics, Naive and ignorant!
@@MrBravoamigo Lunatic derives from the Latin luna, “moon.” The notion that the moon causes certain kinds of madness or induces dangerous aspects of our personalities has been around for millennia; Aristotle and Pliny the Elder, for instance, suggested the light of the moon affected mental health.
@@hotpotato7392 I certainly know the meaning of lunatic derived from la lune. But why mix lunar and lunatics causing confusion! They are too distinctively different in meaning. Mockery about lunatics celebrating lunar new year is just senseless.
@@MrBravoamigo *Chinese Calendar*
The Chinese Calendar is the longest chronological record in history. The beginnings of the Chinese calendar can be traced back to the 14th century B.C.E. Legend has it that the Emperor Huang Ti (Yellow Emperor) of *China* introduced the first cycle of the zodiac calendar in 2637 B.C.E. The Chinese calendar is based on exact astronomical observations of the *longitude of the sun and the phases of the moon.*
From the earliest records, the beginning of the year coincided with a new moon near the Winter Solstice. Just because there is a relationship with the moon, that does not mean it should be referred to as a lunar calender thus a Lunar new year.
*Julian & Gregorian Calendar*
As for the Gregorian calendar, its original goal was to change the date of Easter. In 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII introduced his Gregorian calendar, Europe adhered to the Julian calendar, first implemented by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. Since the Roman emperor’s system miscalculated the length of the solar year by 11 minutes, the calendar had since fallen out of sync with the seasons. This concerned Gregory because it meant that Easter, traditionally observed on March 21, fell further away from the spring equinox with each passing year.
The papal bull issued by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 decreed that 10 days be skipped when switching to the Gregorian calendar. Only five countries; Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and most of France; adopted the new calendar system that year.
*The 'Lost Days'*
The US, Canada, and the UK dropped 11 days in 1752; Japan cut the year 1872 short by 12 days; and some countries, such as Russia, Greece, and Turkey, switched calendars as late as the early 20th century, so they had to omit 13 days. In North America, for example, the month of September 1752 had only 19 days, as the day count went straight from September 2 to September 14. In total, it took more than three centuries to fully switch into using the present-day Gregorian calendar and adopted by all the countries, from 1582 to 1927.
*Summary*
Now, since people around the world are celebrating *a new year based* on the *Chinese calendar* that originated from China, then it is just appropriate to refer it as a *Chinese New Year.* The same would apply if we are following and using an Indian calendar, then it would be an Indian New Year, and so on and so forth.
So...
*Happy Chinese New Year !!!*
... or if one is Sinophobic and not like it, then...
*Happy China's New Year !!!* 😊
