How Danish Media Lied about Chinese New Year🇨🇳

[@aghs2169]

Who invented this calendar? China. Who has continuously improved this calendar over thousands of years? China. Who are the main users of this calendar today? The Chinese. Who is calculating and maintaining this calendar? Who sets the standards? Purple Mountain Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences. So, then, the New Year in this calendar cannot be called "Chinese New Year"? WTF?

Legend said it was invented by the first emperor of the Chinese civilization; the Yellow Emperor and was put into use on Winter Solstice, 22nd. December, 2699 b.c. hence making Winter Solstice day(冬节)a more important festive holiday than the Lunar New Year itself in Chinese traditions. That was how 冬大过 年 comes about.

[@lkchoh1454]

China 5000 years of history, why not 7000 years or more? History is the record in scripts, that is why it stated 5000 years, that more than 5000 years is just a legend e.g. like shooting the nine suns and left one. When talks about calendar of year like dragon, snake, horse, goat etc as representing symbols, like the west talks about cancer, Leo, Aquarius, etc. Calender of year in China come from I-Ching which has 3000 years old. Actually it use strokes of positive and negative in six parts. 2 sectors make up 12 parts that 12 different animals. This I know after reading I-Ching as young as your husband.

Some over sea Chinese trying to be political correct by not calling it Chinese New Year but lunar new year. The problems is, there are plenty of other civilizations also use the cycle of moon phase for their calendar. Chinese calendar off set the leap years sightly different than other lunar calendars. So Chinese calendar just one of the lunar calendars. China is the only surviving farming civilization. The calendar is revolving completely on observing the stars, how it influences climate and season for better farming. Chinese New Year is still Chinese New Year. But of course no one in China called it Chinese New Year as no one in America call Apple computer American Apple Computer.

Never mind, 退一步,海阔天空. If it creates less points of conflict between Asian nations for now it is good thing to just compromise and refer to it as a general term - Lunar New Year. After all, the other countries have named it as their own Korean new year, Tet for Vietnam etc. China also refer to it as Spring Festival 春节or Agricultural new year 农历新年. Japan too still has the same zodiac animal years. Chinese can be clever about it, celebrate with others the common aspects of the day as well as the diversity of each culture's new year traditions. Much like how each European country have their own Christmas customs and traditions.

LOL as though Thanksgiving does not give familial pressure on adult children going home. I used to lived in the US for a long time, and I know many people actually dreaded going home for Thanksgiving. I know there were people who even come to blows at Thanksgiving. Family members literally stopped talking to each other after a fight at the dinner table. But even then, that's not everyone and I always enjoy Thanksgiving with me ex's family. People in every culture with a family gathering festival ALWAYS have experienced some sort of social and familial pressures. Trying to make it sound especially bad for Chinese is just underhanded. Everyone calls it Chinese New Year in SE Asia to the point you can just abbreviate it as CNY, like "what's your plans for this CNY?" In China, they usually just call it Spring Festival because it makes no sense to call the holiday "Chinese" when the country is literally China. This kind of deliberate misrepresentation, "spin" which has a clear ulterior agenda to slander anything China or Chinese related is why western media is turning off people who actually knows the truth. The "Asian" new year thing is especially appalling considering that the west is supposed to this enlightened place where they frown upon cultural erasure and cultural appropriation, and here is an article openly attempting to erase Chinese culture. Isn't this basically a form of "cultural g_cide"? It also reeks of desperation. This BS reminds me of the yearly "W*r on Christmas" that conservatives in America will make a stink about every year. It really goes to show you can't trust any article and especially opinions related to China or Chinese, from any western media. Nowadays, it seem like 90% of these western articles are either misrepresentations, slanders, rumors, and very often outright lies. This is what hundreds of millions being doled out by the US government to create negative propaganda against China. They are all paid in one way or another by the US propaganda machine.

The Vietnamese calendar (Vietnamese: âm lịch; chữ Hán: 陰曆) is a lunisolar calendar that is mostly based on the lunisolar Chinese calendar. As Vietnam's official calendar has been the Gregorian calendar since 1954,[1] the Vietnamese calendar is used mainly to observe lunisolar holidays and commemorations, such as Tết Nguyên Đán and Tết Trung Thu. Historical developments After Vietnam regained independence following the third Chinese domination of Vietnam, the following dynasties established their own calendars based on Chinese prototypes, and every subsequent dynasty had appointed officers to man and create the calendar to be used in the realm.[1] According to the Đại Việt sử lược historical chronicles, the Vietnamese rulers started building astronomical/astrological facilities in the capital Thăng Long (chữ Hán: 昇龍; i.e. modern Hanoi) as early as 1029.[2] Beginning in 1324, the Chinese Yuan dynasty introduced the Thụ Thời (Chinese: 授時; pinyin: shòu shí) calendar to the Vietnamese Trần dynasty.[3] Calendar name Year in use Notes Thụ Thời 授時 1324-1339 Introduced by the Chinese Yuan dynasty to the Vietnamese Trần dynasty. Hiệp Kỷ 協紀 1339-1401 Probably a name change with no changes to calculation methods.[3] Thuận Thiên 順天 1401-1413 Hiệp Kỷ calendar abolished, with Thuận Thiên replacing it. There was no documentation on the difference between the two.[3] Đại Thống 大統 1413-1813 Introduced by the Chinese Ming dynasty in 1369, during the Fourth Chinese domination of Vietnam, the Ming administration in Vietnam used the Datong calendar. At the start of the Vietnamese Lê dynasty in 1428, the end of Chinese domination over Vietnam, there was no evidence that the calendar was changed.[3]

Among these countries, Indonesia and the Philippines have only one day of Lunar New Year as a public holiday. North Korea celebrates the Solar New Year more heavily than the Lunar New Year. (This is different from South Korea.) Japan celebrated the Lunar New Year until the Edo period. Beginning with the Meiji Restoration (1873), the lunar calendar was abolished and the solar calendar was adopted. As a result, Lunar New Year is not currently celebrated in Japan. Usually, there is a difference of one day between the Lunar New Year in Korea and China due to the difference in hapsak.

To my knowledge as a Vietnamese, there are 2 people in the world celebrate the Lunar New Year. We call Tết Nguyên Đán or 節元旦 Jié yuándàn in Chinese. Its the most celebration in both countries. So that the Vietnamese just simple call it Tết or 節. We, both Chinese and Vietnamese also have other , for instance: Tết Đoan Ngọ ( 端午节 /duānwǔ jié/ ) occurs in the same day of lunar calendar in VN & China. The most well know Tết for a sad reason is Tết Offence during the American War 1968 in Vietnam. We call year 1968 was the năm Mậu Thân (伸 戉) in lunar calendar. the year of Monkey in both China & VN. Traditionally, most if not all Vietnamese use the Lunar Calendar. For instance in the full moon day 15th per month, many Vietnamese meat eating joins closed because it's a vegan day for many buddhists. Even Vietnamese Christians (apprx 6% of the population) hold their remberance days to honour their ancestors use Lunar Calendar. The Vietnamese farmers and fishers use Lunar Calendar for its usefulness in scheduling harvest, seeding & forecasting the tidal currents. In this sense the Gregorian calendar is useless to them.

The 'Chinese New Year' is actually a cultural, month-long festival, like an extra-long Pass Over of the Chinese people. Festive celebrations starts on the 16th day of the last lunar month until the 15th day of the first lunar month. There are 13 lunar month in the Chinese calendar in a leap year, to address the obits of both the Sun and the Moon. Spring Festival is the official holidays, and is not the exclusive time for individuals to visit families, modern travel makes the different. Animal signs of a year is a polite way to ask 'How old are you'. Chinese people celebrate Chinese New Year all over the world at the same time and the same manner. Other Asian cultures has similar festivities in the similar window of time, such as Korea and Vietnam and etc. Overall in a 1.4 Billion population, a small fraction is still a very large number for small nations perspectives.

There is a misconception to link the Chinese zodiac with the Chinese Lunar Calendar. In fact, the astrological sign of a person must be based on the 立春 date. For instance, the year of the Dragon started on 4th February this year instead of 10th February which was this year's Chinese Lunar New Year.

They are all diffuse into one chinese calendar.

[@ALIEN_857]

​@@kongwee1978 Nope, 立春 is still 立春。

[@kongwee1978]

@@ALIEN_857 On my google calendar I can see 立春 and 正月 together. You don't need to buy two different physical calendar too.

Exactly accurate comment

[@garfield2742]

Lunar New Year is not Chinese new year. Its just coincidentally have red color, chinese dragon, bamboo, angpao, chinese cuisine, and always occure at chinese sping festival. I reapeated thats all just coincidence. 😅

[@denisjdelgado9657]

You can say its superstition but it is actualy calculations of energy for that particular year, not only for the 12 months that is rep by animals but also the five elements as well. Most Chinese believe it. and its very accurate. If you guys have time, you could buy the chinese calender book from a triditional store and you can see the predictions for the whole year.

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

We did a poll on our Chinese platform and I'd say it's very 50/50 on if people believe it or not at all. Most who believe it voted that they did so mildly 😊

[@denisjdelgado9657]

So what is the age group on your poll? Mind me asking and where in Chnina? North or South?

Asian New year is a new low, it feels racists. Racists towards all the civilizations of Asia. But hut the look of what the west is doing, it's not surprising.

I know 😊

Fear the 'year of luck'? what's sort of nonsense is that? Nobody anywhere fears a coming year, cos it's gonna come whether you fear it or not, no matter it's a year of whatever. There's no point in fearing a year, that's so childish. Especially when it's a year of luck! This journalist and the editor should get their head examined.

whata beautiful couple 🎉

The Chinese lunar calendar was created in ancient time for agriculture seasonal planting. Also, the 12 animals represent different personalities for people borned in its specific year. All has strong points and weaknesses. They are just different not one is better than the other one. The article shown in this video demonstrates the ignorance of the author.

[@ALIEN_857]

The agricultural calendar is also called the 1000-year almanac, based on the solar cycle of 4 seasons. This year is known as 甲辰, which is the Year of the Dragon. This system is commonly used for 八字算命。The year [立春] begins every year on the 4th February of the Gregorian calendar.

[@fenxian]

Honestly many traditional believe I only knew many years after I turned to adult, such as the year 生肖 happened to be mine meaning no luck for me. I would say normally rural Chinese or ppl haven't had much education still hold those superstitious beliefs. A senior freind graduated from Jiaotong university, whose 生肖 is dragon, when I asked if he will wear all red to protect himself, he didn't give a damn. When my upbringing didn't follow all those old customs, I just don't care, age doesn't matter.

[@mtljin]

this video had some great points, lunisolar new year is accurate. but I think spring festival is best. but i dont think it matters so much if its called chinese new year.

Fear of the New Year, especially a Lucky Year?? ahahahahahaha it's actually the complete opposite!!! And that's the title? 😂🤦

[@maxyang7919]

And on the use of "Asian", I'm "Asian" and I am not offended by being called "Asian", because I know that it is a kind of abbreviation, just like how people called canned ham (or spiced ham?) "SPAM". There are other canned ham products which do not have the word "SPAM" on them at all, but it's just called "SPAM" because it's convenient. But I do hope that when people say "Asians" they fully understand and are totally aware that they are referring to "East Asians". The definition of continents is really a western thing. There is this extremely diversified place and it is called by 1 name - Asia. This is inaccurate and outdated. There is at least East Asia (or Northeast Asia), Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and West Asia and they're all very, very different. Even within each region it can be extremely diverse. I just hope people understand.

[@jameswong7061]

about the gathering during new year or festival, it is purely depends on how ur appreciation about the bond btw u & ur family, it's never about chinese or not. and the Philippine's lady case was "living with in-law", "living with in-law" life was never an easy task to anyone, unless u found urself a very nice in-law parent, which is possible, but quite hard.

[@frankwang4318]

I was born in the Year of the Dog and was told to expect bad luck during these years. No, I do not believe it. All superstitions sound pretty stupid to me.
