Home Chinese Culture Chinese New Year Calendar

Since the Chinese Lunar calendar follows the movement of the moon and uses 12 animals to name them recurrently every 12 years, the New Year's day falls on a diferrent date every year.

It's necessary to have a Chinese lunar calendar to know which day is the New Year's Day of a certain year. It's also helpful to have a lunar New Year calendar to know the different New Year's Days for years to come.

The Chinese New Year celebration is full of Chinese traditions, cultural activities and delicious New Year's food. Knowing the exact date is crucial for many people to prepare, because arrangements can be as early as one year ahead of the New Year's Day. Often people in the show business start producing for the next New Year's show right after that year's New Year celebration. For other people, preparing months ahead is very common.

The following are the New Year's Days from 1996 - 2019, two circles of 12 animal years.
