Chinese New Year, known in China as
Spring Festival (simplified Chinese: 春节; traditional Chinese: 春節;
pinyin: Chúnjíe), is the most important of the traditional Chinese
holidays. It is sometimes called the Lunar New Year, especially by
people outside China. The festival traditionally begins on the first
day of the first lunar month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the
Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern
Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī (除夕, abbr. for
年除夕 Niánchúxī, Chúxì in Taiwan). It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
