Stop this ridiculous ”Lunar New Year” nonsense.

Stop this ridiculous ”Lunar New Year” nonsense. If you mean Chinese, say it. There is no yearly thing about the Moon’s orbit.
Come to think of it, we should start calling Easter the Lunar Feast of the Undead. After all the date of Easter Sunday is based on the lunar orbit.
(Please correct me if I am wrong.)

@tml Regardless of whether the term makes astronomical or chronological sense, I believe one of the reasons it is called Lunar instead of Chinese is that it is observed also in Korea, Vietnam, etc.

@saruwine But why not East Asian New Year then?

@tml Because its date IS dependent on the lunar cycle (first new moon that falls between Jan 21 and Feb 20)? And because while common, it’s not observed throughout the region, e.g. in Japan?
I don’t know. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m rather out of my depth here and don’t want to make assumptions of cultures I have only the most superficial knowledge of.
