There are some parallels between the Chinese calendar and the Gregorian calendar. For example, the Chinese calendar has a total of 12 months, but when a leap year occurs, it grows by one month, whereas the Gregorian calendar increases by merely one day. A leap year occurs once every three years in the 2024 Chinese Calendar, hence there is some overlap between the Chinese and Gregorian calendars.

Let''''s know when, according to the Chinese Calendar, each Chinese event falls.

2024 Chinese Calendar: Chinese New Year Interesting Facts

  • Chinese New Year is not only celebrated in China, but also in many Asian countries, and it is the most important day of the year. Around 2 billion people worldwide celebrate this day. This represents one-fourth of the global population.
  • The world first observed Chinese New Year 3500 years ago. According to mythology, every year on New Year''''s, an animal named ''''Nian'''' used to attack a village, and after a while, an elderly man discovered that this beast was scared of red and loud noises. People began to use firecrackers on New Year''''s Eve to chase away that beast, and the tradition of decorating their houses in red began. The color red is considered auspicious in China.
  • Chinese people begin cleaning their houses around a week before the New Year. It is believed that doing so removes ill luck and provides good fortune with the new year.
  • Chinese people celebrate New Year''''s Eve by going out to dinner with their families or hosting a feast at home. Many Chinese people travel to other nations on this day to see relatives and friends.

Baby Gender Prediction

The royal families of ancient China used baby gender calendars to determine the sex of the baby in the womb. It was considered at the time that more sons should be born in the family in order for them to become heirs and secure their status.

Many Chinese parents used this calendar to find out the gender of their child before it was born. This calendar calculates the expected date of birth of the kid and the date of birth of the expectant mother based on the lunar calendar.

However, this perception of the Chinese people has changed recently. Most Chinese couples do not prefer using this method at present.
