The Chinese calender utilizes both the lunar and solar calenders. When the 'Chinese New Year' is discussed it is in reference to the lunar calender which is still used for traditional purposes. The western calender is now exclusively solar, which is accepted as a more reliable and accurate calender system.

Which calendar is generally used gregorian on Julian?
Although the Julian calendar is still used in some places the Gregorian calendar has almost completely replaced it throughout the world.The Julian calendar had a leap year every four years. The problem is that this has a year that is slightly too long. To fix this problem, the Gregorian calendar added exceptions. In the Gregorian calendar, the rule is this:Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100; the centurial years that are exactly divisible by 400 are still leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year; the year 2000 was a leap year.There are still some Orthodox parishes in eastern Europe which still use the Julian calendar. Greece was one of the last Western countries to convert to the Gregorian calendar, in 1925. The isolated Greek monastic community on Mount Athos retains the Julian calendar. Berbers in North Africa still use the Julian calendar for agricultural purposes.
