Lunar New Year is the beginning of a lunar calendar or lunisolar calendar year, whose months are moon cycles. The event is celebrated by numerous cultures in different ways and at different dates.
The more well-known celebrations include New Year’s Day (or week) in the Chinese calendar (and related national calendars) of the East Asian cultural sphere; the Hindu and Buddhist calendars of South and Southeast Asia; the Islamic calendar; and the Jewish calendar that originated in the Middle East.
It is also celebrated by other cultures, such as the Nisga’a people of Canada. The determination of the first day of a new lunar year varies by culture.
