Chinese New Year
Leap Year Day
February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is
called leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a
corrective measure, because the Earth does not orbit around the
sun in precisely 365 days.
The Gregorian calendar is a modification of the Julian
calendar first used by the Romans. The Roman calendar
originated as a lunisolar calendar and named many of its
days after the syzygies of the moon: the new moon (Kalendae
or calends, hence "calendar") and the full moon (Idus or ides).
The Nonae or nones was not the first quarter moon but was
exactly one nundina or Roman market week of nine days before
the ides, inclusively counting the ides as the first of those nine days.
This is what we would call a period of eight days. In 1825, Ideler
believed that the lunisolar calendar was abandoned about 450 BC
by the decemvirs, who implemented the Roman Republican calendar,
used until 46 BC. The days of these calendars were counted down
(inclusively) to the next named day, so February 24 was ante diem
sextum Kalendas Martias ("the sixth day before the calends of
March") often abbreviated a. d. VI Kal. Mart. The Romans counted
days inclusively in their calendars, so this was actually the fifth
day before March 1 when counted in the modern exclusive
manner (not including the starting day).
Chinese New Year is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the
turn of thelunisolar Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Spring
Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name.
Celebrations traditionally run from the eve to the Lantern Festival
on the 15th day of the first calendar month, making
it one of the longest celebrated festivals. The first day of the
New Year falls on some day between 21 Jan. and 20 Feb.
The Chinese Lunar Year is centuries old and gains significance
because of several myths and traditions. Traditionally, the festival
was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year
is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese
populations, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau,
Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Mauritius and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is considered
a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the
lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours.
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the
celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often, the evening
preceding Chinese New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese
families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional
for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep
away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck.
Windows and doors will be decorated with red color paper-cuts
and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness",
"wealth", and "longevity." Other activities include lighting firecrackers
and giving money in red paper envelopes.
