Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year? Here is what you need to know...

Lunar New Year is just wrong

If you've ever wondered:
"Why does Chinese New Year move?"
"Is it Lunar or Chinese?"
"Why lunar new year is just wrong?"
...this video is for you.

2026 is the Year of the Horse—and this year's Spring Festival is different. Later. Louder. More divided. More united.
In this 23-minute deep dive, we travel 4,000 years through history to uncover the real story behind Chinese New Year. From ancient sacrifices and the monster Nian, to a stargazer named 落下闳 Luo xia Hong who fixed the calendar in 104 BC—and a British colony that changed the name forever.
Here is the Hong kong Government legislation bill source that recorded the name change of CNY to LNY:
