Celebration of Chinese New Year

The beginning of Chinese New Year is based upon the Chinese calendar which consists of both Gregorian and lunar-solar calendar systems. Because the track of the new moon changes from year to year, Chinese New Year can begin any time between late January and mid-February. 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, and the coming year, 2011, is the Year of the Rabbit. This presentation explains how different parts of China have different traditions related to Chinese New Year.
