Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why do the dates of Chinese festivals change every year? Unlike Western holidays which are fixed on the Gregorian (solar) calendar, most traditional Chinese festivals follow the Lunisolar calendar. This calendar relies on the phases of the moon to determine months, while adding a “leap month” every few years to stay aligned with the solar year. Therefore, a festival like the Lunar New Year will always fall on a different Gregorian date between late January and mid-February.
Q2: Are the 24 Solar Terms festivals? Not exactly. The 24 Solar Terms are micro-seasons based strictly on the sun’s position on the ecliptic. They were created by ancient farmers to guide agricultural affairs. While a few (like Qingming and Winter Solstice) have evolved into major holidays, most are simply markers for seasonal changes and dietary shifts.
