Chinese New Year 2007 world times

"The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness, the more my own sense of wellbeing rises"

On February 4th 2007 we enter a new Chinese year (year 4704th in the Chinese calendar), the year of the fire Pig/Boar (Ding Hai). Please do not get confused with solar and lunar calendars, more on this below.

Chinese New Year (according to the lunar calendar) starts on the second New Moon (18th February 2007) after the Winter Solstice and is celebrated by Chinese all over the world. It heralds new beginnings and a fresh start. At a social level, it is very much a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. Chinese New Year falls on February 18th (Sunday) 2007 (Lunar calendar) 00.14 China, 16.14 (Saturday 17th )United Kingdom, 08.14 (Saturday 17th) California USA, 17.14 (Saturday 17th) Barcelona and because the CNY falls close to midnight in China and because of time differences it will fall what appears to be a day early in most countries. I have done a Chinese New Year world time converter table to assist you. This is the date you celebrate the Chinese New Year with Ang Pow, fireworks etc and not the date you use to place your cures and enhancers in Feng Shui (February 4th 2007).

The Lunar Chinese New Year Day is very different from the Solar (Hsia) New Year Day (February 4th 2007). The Lunar Calendar formulates the days of the month according to the cycle of the moon whereas the solar year is governed by the sun. Although the Chinese solar year starts on a different date from the western year, the theory whereby the year is calculated on how long it takes the earth to go round the sun is the same. The lunar cycle lasts approximately 29.5 days and in order that the start of the Lunar New Year is not too far removed from the Solar New Year, the Chinese insert an extra month, this being called an intercalary month, once every few years. This is why Chinese New Year Day falls on a different date in each of the two calendars.

Whilst the solar (Hsia) calendar starts the New Year at the beginning of Spring, which falls normally between the 4th and 5th of February, the lunar (yueh) calendar marks the new year on the second New moon after the winter solstice. In 2007, Lunar Chinese New Year also called the 'Spring Festival', falls on 18th February 2007 which is the New Year that is celebrated by all ethnic Chinese. The solar New Year (4th February 2007) is not celebrated at all and only used for Feng Shui placement.

Typically the Chinese New Year falls around January 22nd to February 10th For example, 2006 Chinese New Year Day was on 29 January 2006.

The reason for the late Chinese New Year in 2007 is because 2006 has had extra lunar month double 7th lunar month (Leap Month). Which is on the 7th lunar day of 7th lunar month. It also pushes down the date of Chinese Moon Festival into October 2006. This means that the Chinese New Year Day comes late on February 18, 2007.

Chinese (Solar calendar) New Year 2007 Sunday, 4 February 2007, 13:18 Hong Kong time. The solar calendar is what we use when annual placing Feng Shui cures and not the day you would celebrate the New Year (times below).
