The lunar year, also known as the Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, is a major holiday celebrated by many cultures around the world, particularly in East Asia. It is based on the lunar calendar, which is different from the Gregorian calendar used in the West. The lunar year typically falls between January and February, and the exact date changes each year. The celebration typically lasts for 15 days and includes a variety of traditional customs and activities such as red envelope exchanges, lion dances, moon gazing, lantern festivals, and family gatherings. The lunar year is an important time for honoring ancestors and wishing for good fortune in the coming year.
