Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. The Chinese year 4710 begins on January 23, 2012. Chinese months are controlled by the lunar calendar, with each month
beginning on the darkest day. New Year festivities traditionally start
on the first day of the month and continue until the fifteenth, when the
moon is brightest. In China, people may take weeks off from work
to prepare for and celebrate the New Year.For more information about the Chinese New Year go to Scholastic.com or click here for Factmonster.com. Looking for places to celebrate? Click here!
