Editor's Notes
- We also call it “Spring Festival” because it is to mark the end of winter and the beginning of Spring. Celebrate the new year is the most important traditional holidays in China. This is a time when families gather for celebration. Chinese New Year usually falls in January o February and lasts for 15 days.

- The calendar we are using for school and work is called solar calendar, which uses the earth/sun movement to calculate the date and time. And the new year date for every year is the same, always January 1st. But the Chinese New Year is determined by the lunisolar calendar, which combine the moon ans sun movement to calculate. the first day of a new year is different for each year.
