World Times for Chinese New Year 2021 year of the Yin Metal Ox

Are you prepared for 2021?

On February 12^th 2021 (China time) we enter a new Lunar Chinese year (year 4719^th) in the Chinese calendar), the year of the Yin Metal Ox (Xin Chou). Please do not get confused with solar and lunar calendars, more on this below.

Chinese New Year 2021:

Chinese New Year (according to the lunar calendar) starts on the 12^th February 2021 and is hugely celebrated worldwide by the Chinese. The Chinese New Year heralds’ new beginnings and a fresh start for all. On a social level, Chinese New Year is very much a family event and is a time of reunion, forgiveness, sharing and thanksgiving with festivities. In 2021 Chinese New Year falls on Friday 12^th February at 03.05 China (Lunar calendar), Thursday 11^th at 19.05 United Kingdom, Thursday 11th 11.05 California USA, and Thursday 11th 20.05 Barcelona Spain, a full list of all the other countries can be found below.

Due to time differences around the world, Chinese New Year will fall what appears to be a day early in some countries. Below you will find 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 normally the date you use to place your 2021 cures and enhancers. Please make sure you check dates and times for correct placement of your cures and enhancers.

The Lunar Chinese New Year Day is very different from the Solar (Hsia) New Year Day. 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 around the sun is the same.

The lunar cycle lasts approximately 29.5 days, and so 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.

While the solar (Hsia) calendar starts the New Year at the beginning of Spring, which normally falls between the 3^rd and 5^th of February, the lunar (yueh) calendar marks the New Year on the second New moon after the winter solstice. In 2021 Lunar Chinese New Year also called the ‘Spring Festival’, falls on 12^th February, which is the New Year that is celebrated by all ethnic Chinese. The solar New Year (3^rd February 2021) is not celebrated at all and only used for Feng Shui placement.

You may have come across a few websites stating that 2021 is the 4720^th Chinese New Year if you cannot find the reason, here is an answer for you:

The Yellow King’s appointment was held in the spring of 2697 B.C. But they used the winter solstice day as the first day of the year. So, the first winter solstice was on around December 23^rd, 2698 B.C. Today’s January 1st means nothing to the Yellow King. If we count that extra eight days in 2698 B.C. for a year, then the year 2021 is the 4719^th Chinese year.
