Chinese New Year 2022: Year of the Tiger

Chinese New Year is a significant traditional holiday in China. Traditionally, the Chinese New Year begins on the last day of the month in the Chinese calendar, Chinese New Year’s Eve, and ends on the fifteenth day of the first month—the Lantern Festival.
This makes it the longest-running festival in the Chinese calendar. The date changes yearly because it follows an ancient farmers’ calendar, which is based on the moon’s phases.
Chinese New Year 2025, the year of the tiger, will be celebrated on February 1, 2022. The tiger is considered brave, tough, and strong. It is a symbol of strength in Chinese culture.
