Modern Chinese use the solar calendar（陽(yáng)歷）as English people do．But at the same time，they use their own lunar calendar（陰歷）．Each lunar year is given the name of one of these animals，the rat，the ox，the tiger，the hare，the dragon，the snake，the horse，the goat，the monkey，the chicken，the dog and the pig．This list lasts for twelve years and then starts again．

Each Chinese month starts on the day of the new moon．And the full moon comes on the 15th day of the month．The new year always starts between January 21 and February 20．On the last day of lunar year，there is a big family dinner．All members of the family except married daughters try to be present at this meal，they have to travel many miles to get home of their parents．Everybody is very happy．After the dinner，the children keep awake to welcome the New Year．

The New Year celebrations last for 15 days，from the new moon to the full moon．On the first day，children and unmarried people go to visit their elders．
