Last year's Chinese New Year was on a different day than this year's because our western (Gregorian) calendar clashes (doesn't match) with the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Thus, Chinese New Year is never on the same day every year.
The modern Japanese calendar is the same as the US and Europe, with the New Year beginning on 1 January. Until 1873, they used the same lunar calendar as the Chinese do.
The United States calander date for the Chinese New Year falls on a different date every year. The Chinese New Year will be on Friday January 31, 2014 next year.
They are both new year and are from different countries
No, Chinese New Year is not a religious festival; it is a new year based on the traditional Chinese calendar. Not all Chinese are Buddhists, many have different religions ranging from Taoism to Christianity. Therefore, people may worship Buddha on Chinese New Year, but it is not a custom belonging to Chinese New Year, but more of a personal practice of Buddhists.
The Chinese new year is on a different date every year because it is based on the Chinese calendar, known as the lunisolar calendar. Typically date systems are usually based upon the Gregorian calendar.
It is the new year based on the Chinese traditional calendar, like the new year we celebrate on 1st January every year, only on a different date.
Different religions and cultures celebrate different new years. For example, Chinese New Year is different from Jewish New Year, and both are different from the new year of the Western calendar in which New Year's Day is January 1.
