Since the link to "Chinese New Year" facts is not provided here for me to access the detailed information directly, I can give you general knowledge - based answers to these questions:

Question 1: When is the Chinese New Year?

The Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year in the Gregorian calendar but is based on the lunar - solar calendar. It usually occurs between January 21 and February 20. For example, in 2024, Chinese New Year was on February 10th.

The traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar. It takes into account both the cycles of the moon (lunar) and the position of the sun (solar). For agricultural and traditional festival purposes, the lunar aspects (like the phases of the moon for determining months) and solar aspects (like the solstices and equinoxes for agricultural seasons) are combined.

The new year monster in Chinese folklore is called "Nian" (年). According to legend, Nian would come out on New Year's Eve to harm people and animals, and people discovered that Nian was afraid of loud noises, the color red, and firecrackers.

Answer:

The Chinese New Year usually occurs between January 21 and February 20 (the exact date varies each year according to the lunar - solar calendar).

Question 2: Do the Chinese use a Solar or Lunar calendar?
