Why isn't Chinese New Year the same time as everyone else's new year?
<|assistant|>
Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar and is usually dates between late January and the end of February, depending on the lunar cycle. The rest of the world celebrates the New Year with January 1 as the first day. This is because the Gregorian calendar, which is the internationally accepted civil calendar, and the lunar calendar are significantly different and Chinese New Year is not the same time as everyone else's new year.
