It encompasses the Chinese New Year
“Lunar New Year is the beginning of a lunar calendar or lunisolar calendar year, whose months are moon cycles. The event is celebrated by numerous cultures in different ways and at different dates.
The more well-known celebrations include New Year's Day (or week) in the Chinese calendar (and related national calendars) of the East Asian cultural sphere;the Hindu and Buddhist calendars of South and Southeast Asia; the Islamic calendar; and the Jewish calendar that originated in the Middle East. It is also celebrated by other cultures, such as the Nisga'a people of Canada. The determination of the first day of a new lunar year varies by culture.”

^^^ It's simply giving the event a more accurate name, Gromit.

"The Lunar New Year is a public holiday that is observed across multiple days in China, North and South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and Vietnam. Filial ties typically take center stage during this time as people return to their hometowns to observe the holiday with their families."

Western nations, especially the UK, have tended to refer to 'Chinese New Year' simply because there are large populations of Hong Kong Chinese descent in several parts of those countries. So we see fireworks and street celebrations in, say, London's China Town. However we don't have many large populations here who've descended from families in, say, Vietnam. So we don't as readily link celebrations for the Lunar New Year to Vietnam as we do to China.

We don't call January 1st Roman New Year
yeah but no but
we DO call it the New Year according to the Gregorian calendar
the sdifference is that that the -00 years, 1600, 1700 is only a leap year if divisible by 400 ( all are divisible by 4) and this gives the second or third decimal place correction
year is not QUITE 365 1/4 d

I wonder who suddenly decided that Chinese New Year was passé and implemented the change ?
it could just have happened
I wanted Manchester in Chinese and the shirt seller in San Francisco said - there will be ( Manchester) characters for Manchester and I dont know what they are.
I asked who decided
and he said - oh just is.
