If you still insist on calling it "#Lunar" New Year. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Remember: It is #CHINESE New Year. Not some "#Lunar" New Year lunacy. 🧧🐲🧨🎍🎋🍊🍊

Been so for the longest time until Washington started its full-spectrum Cold War warfare against China (Trade war, Technology war, Cultural war...etc) to #discredit/#cancel everything related to China/Chinese. You stay silent to such affront only if you are hopelessly #naive or have #infantile understanding of #geopolitics and the cultural #erasure warfare practised by the Imperialistic West.

Arguing that you are using "Lunar New Year" for "#diversity" is a poorly educated joke as there are different "#Lunar" New Years worldwide according to different cultures. The Arab Muslims celebrate their Islamic New Year (Hijri New Year) based on their Lunar Calendar somewhere in July. They literally observe the sighting of the new lunar crescent moon. And the Chinese calendar is not even a purely lunar calendar - it is #lunisolar. 👈🏻

Also arguing that we should change the name because many other people are now celebrating CNY does not hold water as this logic will open the floodgates to other ridiculous nonsense. Why still call the language "#English" when it is now used by many other people including the Chinese and Indians. Call it Chinlish or Inlish then? Why call french fries "#french" when it is now a common food worldwide. Change its name for diversity then? Do not be stupid.

Therefore - if you are celebrating the festival in a country with the Chinese people, based on the ancient Chinese #Calendar & #Zodiac (which has been copied and adopted by many other Asian countries such as Korea, Vietnam...etc), using Chinese origin #elements, motifs, decorations and following the rituals & #customary practices of the Chinese - you are celebrating CHINESE NEW YEAR. 👈🏻

Heck - even Anwar Ibrahim, #Malaysia's Prime Minister (a #Muslim) and #Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic use #ChineseNewYear in their greetings during the festive period. So do the leaders of many other nations.

Lunar New Year? Dun be a #lunatic. 🤣

Get educated. 👌🏻

You are wrong. 

Chinese calandar is not lunar calendar, unlike Muslim calendar. 

The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, incorporating elements of a lunar calendar with those of a solar calendar, indicating both the phase of the Moon and the time of the solar year.

BTW, Taiwanese are Chinese!

Aiya when you're culturally rich and powerful, other ppl will learn or copy from you, because they duno what to do. So the easiest and safer way is to follow lao da ge

On the other hand, if you're a pdf, nobody would want to follow you

Don't use such a cheem word like simi lunar. Just say Moon New Year will do. 

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Do han ppl aso celebrate cny or hny?

[Oyk]

Deepavali or Diwali?

I think it depends on where the Indians come from 

It's like asking which is correct... jiak png or sek fan. Both are correct. 

As for me, I grew up and old hearing Deepavali so this one sounds familiar to me. Diwali sounds foreign. Hearing it would be like hearing 吃饭 not in Hokkien or Cantonese which I am comfortable with but some other tiongkok dialect which I am not like the Wu dialects... those I heard in Wuxi, Suzhou and Shanghai.

Here you go to plan this year holidays...

Oh, BTW -  in SG it is officially known as "Chinese New Year"..

Btw you don't need to go to China to hear other tiongkok dialects. Every so often I'd hear tiongs calling home and speaking their mother tongue. Sounded very crude, loud, uncouth.

But then hor, peepur who don't understand Hokkien also find it sounding crude and loud
 
I have never heard any Hokkien gua saying knnbccb or ranjiao softly. It's a typical tiong dialect and typically vulgar and crude.

Who care where those (foreign) "Indians' come from ?

When in Rome do as the Romans do -  Tamil is one of SG 4 official languages, naturally Tamil-origin "Deepavali"  is widely accepted name for the Hindu festival of lights celebration
 
Case Closed.

要韩国人庆祝华人新年那是不可能的，只好改称农历新年咯

至于汉人庆祝华人新年，那是天经地义光明正大的事，没有必要缩头缩尾的

Should be berak 

[RiseofAsia]

It is 农历新年，not 阴历新年
农历is Chinese Calender
阴历 is Lunar Calendar

Chao Ang Mohs do not know the difference lah.

Hang on. Not so fast. 

Mandarin is one of the 4 'official' languages. We don't care where the Hans came from but we allow them to say 吃饭 in their mother tongue which can be sek fan or jiak png. We don't get upset if they don't say chi fan, OR say cccci fan instead of chi fan.

Case may be closed now.
