The story behind Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year opens the year on the Chinese lunisolar calendar, on the second new moon after the winter solstice, between January 21 and February 20. In China it is the Spring Festival, the largest annual human migration on Earth, as hundreds of millions travel home. Korea celebrates Seollal and Vietnam Tết on the same day or close to it.
Each year belongs to one of twelve animals: 2026 is the Year of the Horse and 2027 the Year of the Goat. Families clean their homes to sweep out bad luck, hang red decorations, share a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and give red envelopes of money to children.
