Chinese New Year - 2022 Year of Tiger


Chinese New Year(新年), also called Spring Festival, or the Lunar New Year Festival, celebrates the commencement of the new year as per the traditional lunisolar - Chinese calendar.


Traditional Chinese new year (春節); simplified Chinese: 春节; (pinyin: Chūn Jié) as the spring season in the lunisolar calendar originally starts with lichun, the first of the twenty-four solar terms which the festival celebrates during the time of the Lunar New Year.


Traditionally, it was that time of calendar when the deities were honored, and now, it has also become an occasion to visit family members and feast!
