      What is Chinese New year based on? The Chinese calendar. Do you know what Spring Carnival is? You probably don't,
      Where does the Dragon Zodiac come from?

        It’s funny, according to wiki…

        In the United States of America, Lunar New Year is strongly associated with Chinese Americans and "Chinese New Year" is commonly used as a translation by people of non-Chinese backgrounds.

        However the celebration has officially been known as "Spring Festival" in China since the founding of the Republic of China

        AI- are you American? Username checks out?

      FYI CNY/Springfestival is on the lunisolar calendar, Lunar calendar isn't the same. But keep yapping.
      This is all related to chinese agriculture but you obviously know more than they did :)

      Chinese dont celebrate "lunar new year". we simply dont know what it is. obviously the english naming is invented by & for foreigners especially "asians(meaning foreigners who look like east asians but no longer have any significant cultural connection) and white people who hate the chinese therefore deny anything related to it. but by all means celebrate whatever you like because this is in australia not asia obviously. westerners invent new genders daily so i dont see whats so unusual about inventing some festivals

    Should have seen Collingwood children’s farm on Australia Day… aboriginal flags everywhere, not a single Australian flag anywhere. At a children’s farm…

      Ah yes, the natives are well known for their animal husbandry - particularly regarding cows, sheep, pigs, and horses (that's what they have down there, isn't it?)
