Guest Blog: What is the Lunar New Year?
As Lunar New Year is celebrated across Asia, one way to ensure respect is to avoid classifying the holiday as specific to one country.
Although sometimes called Chinese New Year in the United States, Lunar New Year is observed across Asia, including in Singapore, Vietnam, Korea, Tibet, and other countries. This holiday, honoring a new year based on the annual cycles of the moon, has different names across the globe, including Chunjie (China), Tet (Vietnam), Seollal (South Korea), and Losar (Tibet), among others.
