The purpose of some countries tries to say Lunar New Year instead of Chinese New Year is to remove Chinese Culture (去中国化), very political and bad-intentioned。 While Chinese New Year is Scientific, agriculture and cultural thing.
What I loved the most about this new video was the entertaining narrative starting with quick questions and then developing the topics and details about New Year in China. That was brilliant! Plus, the sequence of scenes and the sinchronization between the speech while showing the surroundings was cool and made me want to continue wondering what might come next. I enjoyed watching it so much! I have to add that the switch of languages from English to Chinese and viceversa left me speechless in a quite positive way! Can't wait for the upcoming content! 🎉🎉
Because everyone is working away from home and has a holiday on New Year's Day, there are a lot of people. During the Chinese New Year, there are not many people on the road, and everyone returns to their hometowns to reunite with their families.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That totally makes sense - at least for a certain group of people. At the same time, I’ve noticed Western holidays like New Year’s and Christmas seem to be getting more popular here too, with more people joining in the celebrations.
It is always one to two months after winter solstice (冬至)。When the new moon starts on 22 December (the first new moon just after winter solstice) ，the Chinese New Year (the second new moon) would be on 21 January. When new moon starts on 20 December (the first new moon just before the winter solstice)，CNY would be on 20 February.
Haikou is probably a Tir-3 city, I was born there, sometimes it could be a bit chaotic, but I love the vibe there. I hope it's not as cold as here now in Spain 🙃
Qué tal Cheery? Honestly, I’d argue Haikou is definitely a Tier 2 city now, especially with its growing economic significance thanks to the free trade port and everything. As for the touch of chaos you mentioned, I actually love that too, haha! It’s something I miss sometimes in Beijing-though the sheer number of scooters on the streets can be pretty wild at times! 😄 Any must-visit spots you’d recommend for me to check out and grab some more videos? Always looking for cool places to explore! Weather is great here atm 🌞
@@TheFluentNomadHaving done some fact checks I can confirm that it is a third-tier city, but I believe it has a great potential to move above to the second tier like the reason you mentioned.😊
Equinoxes Spring (春分, day and night same long)，The Summer solstice(夏至, day the longest), equinoxes Autumn(秋风, day and night same long),, and winter solstice (冬至, day the shortest)。
@@TheFluentNomad 刚刚在B站上看了小哥你的视频，来到油管支持你一波，没想到有人盗窃你的视频让你恼火，这种人太没素质了，不过以我知道的来说，很多都是AI机器人在操作，已经帮你举报了！不过他解释的春节还不是那么的全面，这是依据天文计算出来的，是以北斗七星斗柄指向正东方兼顾月亮的朔望周期确定下来的，主要是以北斗七星斗柄为主体和标准，同时兼顾月亮朔望周期. 所以说lunar new year的说法是错的非常离谱的
Chinese New Year is not pure lunar calendar but lunisolar. The pure lunar calendar is Arabian calendar, in which their newyear always move a month forward, While Chinese new year also fall between Jan and Feb.
Thanks for pointing this out-such a great point and definitely worth mentioning! You're absolutely right, Chinese New Year isn’t purely based on the lunar calendar but the lunisolar calendar, which is why it always falls between January and February. I’ll be sure to explain that better next time!
Chinese New Year (CNY 中国新年) can not be said as Lunar New Year, because Chinese New Year is based on solar and lunar together, and it is also based on China’s geographical position, which has four distinct seasons on northern hemisphere.
@@TheFluentNomad *_Hi Guy, I know now you come from Germany. I also lived in Germany, Montreal, for a short period. I am a Chinese living in Hong Kong. Due to business, I have a strong relationship with Germany and Poland. I also wish you very happy during the Year of Snake. Danke !!!_*
Many of Hainan's current residents are from northeastern China. What’s really interesting is that you might often experience the culture of China’s northernmost region while being in its southernmost part😂
Totally noticed that too-like the drunk 大哥 at 4:53! Even though he’s from Hebei, he was definitely giving me proper northeast vibes 😂. I guess it might have something to do with the warmer climate and the more relaxed pace of life down here~
Guten Abend, Armin! Great video, and happy new year😄 Your Chinese is excellent, including your accent. Expect to see more vlogs in China, Germany, or other countries. It's interesting to experience different cultures and daily life. I visited Germany several times in the past years. It's a nice country, and I hope to visit it next time!
Vielen Dank! 😊 Happy New Year to you too! So glad you enjoyed the video. Germany welcomes you anytime-hope you’ll visit again soon! And thanks for the kind words about my Chinese. I already shot a video about my hometown Hamburg and just need to edit it-stay tuned! 🙌
@@TheFluentNomad Can't wait for the new video about Hamburg! I actually visited Hamburg as a tourist in 2019 and explored places like the Dutch Marine Museum and Miniatur Wunderland. I still remember the stunning red-brick warehouses-such a unique and charming part of the city!
Being a Chinese living in America for 30 years, I have never met a single western person told me, I speak good English.😆😆😆The mind set is so different on two side.
I get where you're coming from. However, I think it's less about mindset and more about demographics and language. In the U.S., with such a mix of cultures-African American, Hispanic, Asian-it’s not as much of a novelty to hear someone speak decent English. Meanwhile, in China, fluent Chinese from a non-local stands out more, and let’s be real, Chinese is a tough language to learn! I’ve had a similar experience in Brazil-locals instantly know I’m a gringo just by looking at me, and they get super excited when I speak Portuguese because it’s not that common. Just my two cents!
@@TheFluentNomad Certain degree of truth of what you said, but you'll get a better picture by going back further in history...and how do you explain when foreign people come to China and immediately complain it's not an English friendly country? This is the type of mindset as a result of narrative and indoctrination. Anyway, I have no ill intention and you deserve respect by getting out comfort zone to learn Chinese.😄😄
Haha, I totally agree-change is a good thing, but keeping some old traditions (like Chinese New Year) is also really important. Funny enough, I was just chatting with a Chinese friend who was complaining that people aren’t valuing CNY as much or spending as much time with family anymore. Then I asked him, “Wait, aren’t you traveling abroad for the holiday as well?” and we both had a laugh! It’s all about finding the right balance, I guess.

Chinese New Year is on the second new moon after winter solstice（冬至，21-23 December）, that is why it is always between January 21 and February 20.

@@TheFluentNomad Most people don’t know what the meaning of Christmas is. It’s just an excuse for themselves to spend money and have fun.
Exactly! It’s the season of giving… to the economy! 😜 Just like almost everywhere else in the world now, we’ve mastered the art of festive capitalism!
It is always one to two months after winter solstice (冬至)。When the new moon starts on 22 December (the first new moon just after winter solstice) ，the Chinese New Year (the second new moon) would be on 21 January. When new moon starts on 20 December (the first new moon just before the winter solstice)，CNY would be on 20 February.

中国新年（Chinese New Year）不能说成是月历新年（Lunar New Year），因为中国历法是同时基于太阳和月亮，并且基于中国的经纬度地理位置，位于北半球，有四个鲜明的季节。
中国的春分（白天和黑夜一样长），夏至（白天最长），秋分（白天和黑夜一样长），冬至（白天最短，夜晚最长）是按照太阳和地球上中国地理位置而来的。
赤道国家，365天，太阳和地球的位置是一样的，并没有春夏秋冬。 越南并没有冬天，也就没有太阳和地球物理位置和角度上的冬至了，当然越南可以有文化上的冬至，毕竟越南本来的文字是汉字。
在南半球的也可以过文化上的中国新年， 但不能说 中国新年是南半球的新西兰人发明的。 马来西亚和新加坡华人过中国新年，那是文化上的，因为马来西亚并没春冬，只有干雨季，而且全年炎热。
中国新年是在冬至（12 月 21-23 日）后的第二个新月，这就是为什么中国新年总是在 1 月 21 日至 2 月 20 日之间。
中国新年总是在冬至后一到两个月内。当新月在 12 月 22 日（冬至后的第一个新月）时，中国新年（第二个新月）将在 1 月 21 日。当新月在12月20日（冬至前的第一个新月）时，中国新年将在2月20日。
这就是为什么中国新年的夜晚总是没有月亮的。但假如是晴空的夜晚，中国新年的晚上会繁星满天。
真正的月历是阿拉伯历法，这就是为什么他们的新年可能是冬天，也可能是夏天。
一些国家的政客和媒体故意误导性地称月历新年（Lunar New Year）而不是中国新年，目的是要消除中国文化（去中国化），这是非常政治化和恶意的。
中国历法是基于科学。它代表了中国祖先的智慧、理性和文明。中国历法不仅服务于中国制度和社会的功能，还服务于农业和文化领域。
中国新年是中国人身份和文化的重要一部分。中国小孩子的生日也最好有按照中国历和西方日历。
当中国历法和中国新年被任何人误解时，我们有责任耐心而友好地向他们解释。
哇，这解释真是太全面了！谢谢你的分享！

The real lunar calendar is Arabian calendar, that is why their New Year could be Winter, could be Summer.
