Chinese New Year follows the Lunar Calendar, which is different from the Solar or Gregorian Calendar used very commonly everywhere now. In the Chinese Lunar calendar, Chinese New Year always falls on the 1st of the 1st Lunar month, called 年初一 nian(2) chu(1) yi(1) lit. means the first (day) of the year.
However in the solar calendar it can vary from any day in January to late February. For e.g. the 1st 2 days of Chinese New Year in 2010 fell on 14 Feb (Valentine's Day) and 15 Feb but in 2009, it was on 26 and 27 Jan 2009.
Chinese New Year also refers to a period, and not just 1 day. It is typically a 2-week break, and usually starting before the actual day because the Eve is a very important part of the celebrations as well.
