The New Moon on the first day of the new year-- the full moon 15 days later
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later.The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival,which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements.The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days.In order to catch up with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle).This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year .This is why,according to the solar calendar,the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair,a time of reunion and thanksgiving.The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth,the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors,the most vital of all the rituals,united the living members with those who had passed away.Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table.The spirits of the ancestors,together with the living,celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community.The communal feast called surrounding the stove or weilu.It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree,however,that the word Nian,which in modern Chinese solely means year,was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite.People were very scared.One day,an old man came to their rescue,offering to subdue Nian.To Nian he said,I hear say that you are very capable,but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?So,it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

中国历法（的计算）是以月亮与太阳运动相结合为基础的.月亮运动周期为29.5天.为了与公历相符,中国人每隔几年就多加了一个月（19年个回归年中加7个闰月）.这与闰年中多加一天相同.这就是按公历算,中国新年每年都非同一天的原因.

The Origin of Chinese New Year
中国新年的由来
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree,however,that the word Nian,which in modern Chinese solely means year,was originally the name
of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
如今,众所周知,因为中国新年始于春天之初（根据自然界改变而进行调整的24节气之首）,而叫做春节.对于这种来源的说法因为太古老了而难以遵循.有几种关于春节的不同的解释.但是大家都知道的是年的说法,也是现代中国唯一关于新年的说法,来源于一个被叫做年的怪兽,它在新年开始前,出来吃人.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite.People were very scared.One day,an old man came to their rescue,offering to subdue Nian.To Nian he said,I hear say that you are very capable,but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no
means of your worthy opponents?So,it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
一种传说说,年这个怪兽有特别大的嘴,一口就能吞食好多人.人们特别害怕.一天,来了一个解救（人们）的老人,要打败年.他对年说,我听说你特别能干,但是你能不能不吃那些不会反抗你的人,而去吃吃地球上的其它吃人的猛兽呢?这样,你既吃了地球吃人的猛兽,也会使人们和他们的家禽不时地烦恼.（harrass拼写错了吧?是harass吗?不知道到底应该是哪个词）
额滴神哪,没累死!
