Is there a separate Chinese Calendar for China?
I'm really confused, since I heard that the Celebration goes on for a very long time.
Could someone maybe explain this to me?

important Chinese festival: a festival day that falls between 21 January and 19 February and introduces two weeks of celebrations marking the new year

There will be a lion and dragon dance. I think they'll do that since in my previous school when it's chinese new year. They do a dragon and lion dance.

Two weeks?!? lol I didnt know that. Thanks Infernape :)

Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year". In China it is also known as the Spring Festival.

lasts 30 days

What?! The Chinese New Year is or 30 days? Why so long? Is it like if 1 year in normal terms equals one Chinese Year? Or is I like a once in a few years thing?
I was just wondering, why is it 30 or 20 days

Chinese new year occurs once each year at the start of the Lunar calender and the Chinese usually celebrate it with big feasts featuring Asian cuisines.

I have never understood the Chinese New Year either, because I'm still young, but by reading this I understand what it relates too :)

me too i never understood the whole chinese new year thing although my best friend is chinese it does not get celebrated really serious in the netherlands

The chinese new year is just a hoax set up da man to convince us that he is culturally involved. its sinister but u have to respect the man's style. lol jk
