    Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival, is celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, which is usually the day on which the second new moon after the winter solstice (the moment when the earth is in that point of its orbit at which one of the earth's hemispheres is most tilted away from the sun) occurs.

    The New Year season lasts fifteen days. The first three days are the most important and most often celebrated with visits to friends, family as well as greetings of good luck. The seventh day traditionally is everyone's birthday, the day when everyone grows one year older. The celebrations end on the important and colourful Lantern Festival on the evening of the 15th day of the new moon.
