From lucky foods to traditional greetings, we answer your questions about Lunar New Year. abc7ne.ws/3QT8WGC #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear #rabbit #2023 #abc7news
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?
@@shdj1hshs1shshs1 Your national museum is filled with evidence that you used to be a vassal state of China. Please read the content first before barking
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. Kinda a strange thing bc isnt the new year a time for friends and mostly family to spend with each other? I remember a few friends having an argument over it lol
@@mbaker9861 actually depends countries like Malaysia, Singapore or even Indo have a lot of Chinese thus people call it Chinese new year there. Also lunar new year origins are heavily influenced by Chinese new year.
@@johnbrookhaven7134 Vietnamese New Year, or Tet, is not the same holiday as Chinese New Year. They are different holidays, celebrated by different people, with different customs. That is why they have separate names. Same with Korean New Year, or Seollal. They are different holidays!
@@k8wh610 Oh, but it originated in England not Canada, so its rightfully called English. And by your argument, Chinese New Year originated in China, so its name is also rightful and correct. What are you confused about?
@@k8wh610 Also upon further thought. Canada adopted the English language, that's why it's called English. They don't get to change the name. But if they did, that also enforces my argument that the holidays are differentiated, with different names, so my argument still stands.
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.
@@johnbrookhaven7134 It was impossible to calculate the calendar in Vietnam in ancient times. It needed writing, astronomical observation and mathematical calculation. You are using the Chinese calendar now, do you understand?
@@johnbrookhaven7134 Lunar is the moon, so lunar calendar is calculated by looking at the moon. This is different from the Chinese Yin-yang calendar. lunar The first day of a New Year is usually not the same day as the first day of a New Year in the Chinese calendar. It is important that you should learn history well.
@@johnbrookhaven7134 If you use lunar, you will also have situations where the first day of the New Year is in summer. I hope you have a rigorous attitude towards astronomical knowledge.
The first lunar calendar belonged to Mesopotamian civilization. Also, the current Chinese lunar calendar is made by a German Catholic missionary. How can it be Chinese?
@@戴眼鏡的烏賊 Not every Asian is chinese. Korea is asia, Japan is asian, Vietnam is asia. We should celebrate whole asian's new year, not only for china. Stop trying to own witch is not yours. It's disgusting. Shame on you china.
@@anchovy991 South Koreans shut up. You used to be an affiliated country of China, now you are an affiliated country of the United States, your former culture came from China, and your flag was painted by the Qing Dynasty.👌👌😂😂
Maybe we should not calling “English” as English,because Canadian ,American,Australian …even Singaporean from Asia ,they all treat English as their mother language.
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.
"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".
@@andrewtran4468 But at the beginning, it is true that only Chinese people celebrate the Nongli New Year. Why command us to change the name of OUR festival because of the participation of other countries? Do you think this is a kind of moral kidnapping？
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. I just explained to you objectively where the New Year originated, instead of letting people with ulterior motives take our culture as their own step by step.
@@simon7213 春节 = New Year, there's no Chinese in there. Nobody taking any culture. Culture is adapted and adopted. You should be proud elements of Chinese culture are adopted by others. Get rid of the tribal mentality. Many Chinese are now wearing the suit which has western origin. I don't hear westerners complaining about their culture being stolen.
@@svyugejfudfqn1lz0fhekq9us Agree. Chinese can call it what ever they want in China. It will be the Lunar New Year in the English speaking world. And other Asian countries have their own terms for the festival.
@@johnbrookhaven7134 You know South Korea wants to call it Korean New Year as they also celebrate it, so that enrages the Chinese? Don't be a double standard or do cultural appropriation. South Korea did not observe this festival until 1999 :)
@@johnbrookhaven7134 Vietnam (in the past) is a subsidiary of ancient China, so there is no Vietnamese New Year at all. Most of your culture is Chinese, and there are Chinese characters on the historic sites in your cities
The Koreans copied everything from China, including the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival was originally a Chinese holiday, but the Koreans didn’t understand the meaning of the Spring Festival. The Koreans made the Spring Festival look like a funeral.
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.
@@space.qk29 It is chinese new year, end of story. Any other countries who celebrate chinese new year are welcome . But you can't take the history away, because chinese people who invented.
Just a few days ago, I saw that the British Museum published an article saying that it was Korean Lunar New Year,( It has been deleted and changed to Chinese New Year)so I can understand why the Chinese people in the comment section were so angry. We just need to remember that Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year, both originated in the Shang Dynasty of China more than 4,000 years ago. Changing the name of a Chinese holiday without going through the Chinese people is barbaric, impolite and disrespectful to others,Think about it, how would you feel if we said "Happy Korean Christmas on Christmas Day ？
@@Hobbongi Exactly, Chinese New Year, Seollal, and Tet are different holidays, celebrated by different people, with different customs. Seollal is your holiday, Chinese New Year is ours. No one is changing your holiday names, don't change ours.
@@rescf7902 Than stop calling it chinese new year. It's based on lunar calendar so correct name is lunar new year. chinese new year is only for china. lunar new year is for every asian. and stop calling kimchi as paocai. paocai is chinese pickle not Korean kimchi.
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.
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.
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
Happy Chinese New Year. Why people think changing the name of a Chinese thousand years traditional fasterval, don't need China's permission, what next, lie about where is the festival originally from? 🙄 Lie, rob, lie, rob😂
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.
@@andrewtran4468 strange, every where always called it Chinese New Year, since I remember we had this in UK. all the sudden this year try to pushing people call it Lunar New Year, Korean people even try to tell me lunar belongs to Korean, so it is Korean New year 🤣 I am not an expert in history, but enough knowledge to know when China has lunar calender, Korean is not even a real country yet. If people try to call English a different name, I will tell them to Fxxk off.
@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 😉
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
@@srdsf1134 nobody is forcing chinese new year on non-chinese. those people willingly took on that culture tradition! now you are trying to appropriate that culture tradition and diminish the chinese root. that's shameful and only shows culture insecurity. lol we all speak English, so do Canadians, Assuies and kiwis. is there a brazen campaign to change the "English-ness" in English? lol
Chinese New Year → Lunar New Year →Korea Lunar New Year→Korea New Year the final goal. You should buy some gift from Korea because the Korea new year. I know this plan.
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
Chinese new year is following chinese calendar . This year is year of 🐉 dragons on 10 th of February 2024. So it is chinese new we celebrate. Therefor don't try change the name.

Chinese don’t have lunar new year. China uses Solilunar calendar. Stop culture appropriation. If you are visiting Chinatown or talking with a Chinese, please be respectful say Happy New Year or Happy Spring Festival.
It is Chinese New Year! For political rightness, you may greet the Koreans Happy Lunar New Year, but you should greet the Chinese Happy Chinese New Year! We do not care what name you call it, but for the Chinese it has been their Chinese New Years for thousands of years. Please respect our history.
My Chinese friends call it Chun Jie (spring festival) and nong li xin nian (agriculture calendar new year) in Chinese language. I remember that some translation they still call it lunar new year. 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.
Bullshit! Many English countries have different grammar or pronunciation or spelling, but the language called ENGLISH! Not Americash, Not Australish, Not Canadish, it's ENGLISH! Asian countries can celebrate Chinese Luna new Year with different ways, but don't intentionally delete "Chinese". It's Chinese New Year, It's Chinese Luna new year!
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. 🤷🏻♂️
Image this scenery: Vietnase and Korean learn and speak English then claiming that It can't be called English anymore, because it's not only spoke by English people, so they want to call it Globlish, or Korealish or Vietname Globlish? Can you understand how ridiculous you people are?!! It is Chinese New year, it is not Lunar, it is determined by Solar and originate from China, Respect the culture origin say the real name!
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"*

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.

@@wanchuanmingyuezhurenweng Vietnam wasn't "part of China". It was a vassal of China. It's very different.

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...
Lunar new year is celebrated by Muslim, it is called Ahwal Muharram. That marks the New year for Lunar Calendar. Chinese do not use lunar calendar. Chinese Calendar is based on Solar, Lunar and other celestial position, not lunar alone. And it’s Meridian is located in Zi Jin Shan since thousands of years ago. It is rightly called as Chinese New Year. ABC should get your facts right.
, everyone should enjoy holiday, but everyone should know the reason of the holiday. The purpose of a naming a public holiday is for people to remember the significance of the day. That is the main purpose.
