What does this app do?

Calculate the dates of the current and next Lunar New Year.

Lunar New Year does not fall on the same date each year. This application helps you find out how many days are left until Lunar New Year. It converts the New Year date from the traditional Chinese lunar calendar to the Gregorian calendar and shows you exactly how many days remain.

Color Meanings in Lunar New Year Traditions

Understand the symbolism behind red, white, and yellow in Lunar New Year traditions.

Each color used during Lunar New Year holds deep cultural meaning.

Red represents good fortune, happiness, and protection from evil spirits. It is the most popular color during the celebrations. Yellow symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and royalty often used to attract abundance in the new year. White, on the other hand, is traditionally associated with mourning and is generally avoided during Lunar New Year festivities.
