Please note: This is only a rough conversion. Chinese New Year does not start on January 1, and it starts on a different date every year. So if you want to make sure you are ordering the correct Chinese zodiac symbol, you can email me at translate@transname.com or use the contact form and let me know the exact day, month and year, then I can search and let you know.. If you want to verify yourself, if your birthday is in January or February, you need to look up the day Chinese New Year starts for your birth year to make sure you have the correct zodiac
Is there a difference between Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year?
The answer is Yes.

The Chinese calendar is called Nongli (agricultural calendar 農曆 农历) which combines both the Yangli (solar calendar 陽曆 阳历) and Yinli (lunar calendar 陰曆 阴历) and other cycles for agricultural and social purposes. This dates back to over 2000 years ago.

The Chinese Zodiac system assigns an animal to each year in a 12 year cycle, and is based on the Chinese Calendar, not lunar calendar. Chinese New Year does not start on January 1, but instead on a different date every year. That's why it is noted above that the calculator is for rough conversions only. If your birthday is in January or February, you need to look up the day Chinese New Year starts for your birth year to make sure you have the correct zodiac. Do not look up the lunar calendar, make sure it is the Chinese calendar.

A small reminder to those who want to greet Chinese people Happy New Year. If you say Happy Chinese New Year, it's great! It's also great if you say Happy Nongli New Year (agricultural calender 農曆 农历新年) or Happy Spring Festival. But if you say Happy Lunar New Year (Yinli 陰曆 阴历新年) , it has an unlucky connotation...because in Chinese, Yang (solar) is associated with brightness and life, Yin (lunar) is associated with darkness and afterlife. So it's best to wish someone good luck and brightness 🙂

Happy Chinese New Year!
