The intrigue behind the Chinese New Year.
In China, the New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. In this ancient society, farmers have always looked to the moon to determine when they should begin sowing their crops. That important date arrives with the first new moon after the inception of spring; roughly halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. As a result, the Chinese New Year shifts from year to year..
