Lunar New Year is the beginning of a new year based on lunar calendars or, informally but more widely, lunisolar calendars. Lunar calendars follow the lunar phase while lunisolar calendars follow both the lunar phase and the time of the solar year. The event is celebrated by numerous cultures in various ways at diverse dates.
The most well-known celebrations include new years based on the (lunisolar) Chinese calendar and Tibetan calendar of East Asia;[1][2][3] the (lunisolar) Buddhist and Hindu calendars of Southeast and South Asia; and the (lunar) Islamic calendar and the (lunisolar) Jewish calendar that originated in the Middle East. The determination of the first month of a new lunar or lunisolar year varies by culture.
