Chinese New Year, Tet, Seollal: the same new moon, celebrated across half the world. ๐ It falls somewhere between January 21 and February 20, which is a full month of possible dates.
The celebration runs fifteen days and finishes with the Lantern Festival. It is less a single day than a fortnight that starts loudly and ends with lights on the water.
- The animal signs run on a twelve year cycle, so the year you were born shares its animal with people 12, 24 and 36 years older.
- Travel around the holiday is the largest annual human migration on the planet.
- Red envelopes, family meals and a lot of cleaning before the day itself, because sweeping during the new year is thought to sweep the luck out. ๐งง

Questions people ask
Is Lunar New Year the same as Chinese New Year?
Mostly. The same new moon is marked in Vietnam as Tet and in Korea as Seollal, with their own customs.
Why is the date different every year?
It is set by the new moon rather than a calendar number, so it shifts by up to a month.
