As for \"Spring Festival\" it is new term. It is only called \"Spring Festival\" after New China was founded. In order to differentiate it from the New Year's Day in Western Calendar, we call “Nian” in Chinese lunar Calendar “Spring Festival” or Yin li nian—New Year’s Day in Chinese lunar Calendar, which is also known as Chinese New Year to Westerners. Many native speakers only know it as Chinese New Year. So when we talk about this festival we often say it this way: “Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year”. |
