According to the National Museum of Asian Art, the Lunar New Year is the celebration of the arrival of spring, and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar in which the months are based on the moon and the years are based on the sun. Lunar New Year is celebrated differently across cultures and countries. In China, the Lunar New Year is celebrated with a 15-day festival known as China’s Spring Festival.
