Happy
Year of the Ox! Today is the
Lunar New Year in some regions of the world, which is based on the
lunisolar calendar. This is the beginning of a calendar year the months of which are cycles of the moon and sun. At present, it mostly refers to the East Asian new year's celebration on the same date, of which the most influential is
Chinese New Year (commonly referred to as the
Spring Festival in
Chinese cultures within the
Sinosphere). It also refers to other non-Chinese lunar and lunisolar calendars such as the
Islamic calendar, which for 2021 is celebrated on Aug. 9th and the
Jewish calendar, which celebrates the new year on Sept. 6th.
