Find out what time Chinese New Year 2024 starts in your country
Are you prepared for 2024 – The start of period 9 Feng Shui?
 |  |  |  |
On February 10th 2024 (China time) we enter a new Lunar Chinese year (year 4722nd) in the Chinese calendar), the year of the Yang Wood Dragon (Jia Chen). Please do not get confused with solar and lunar calendars; more on this below.
Chinese New Year 2024
Chinese New Year (according to the lunar calendar) starts on the 10 February 2024 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 2024 Chinese New Year falls on Saturday 10th February at 07.00 China (Lunar calendar), Friday 9th February at 23.00 United Kingdom, Friday 9th February at 15.00 California USA, and Saturday 10th at 00.00 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 later 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 2024 cures and enhancers. Please make sure you check dates and times for the correct placement of your cures and enhancers.
The Lunar Chinese New Year Day is very different from the Solar (Hsia) New Year’s 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’s 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 3rd and 5th of February, the lunar (yueh) calendar marks the New Year on the second new moon after the winter solstice. In 2024 Lunar Chinese New Year also called the ‘Spring Festival’ falls on 10th February, which is the New Year that is celebrated by all ethnic Chinese. The Solar New Year (4th February 2024) is not celebrated at all and is only used for Feng Shui placement.
You may have come across a few websites stating that 2024 is the 4723rd 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 23rd 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 2024 is the 4722nd Chinese year.
