[[Lunisolar calendar]]s count months according to [[lunation]]s but, because there are not an even number of [[lunar cycle]]s in a [[solar year]], the calendar must be restarted annually on the first, second or even third new moon after the [[winter solstice]]. (The term "lunar calendar" is often used of lunisolar calendars, but true [[lunar calendar]]s (such as the [[Islamic calendar]]) count only lunations and ignore the solar seasons.)
*The [[Chinese New Year]], also known as Spring Festival or Lunar New Year, occurs every year on the [[new moon]] of the first lunar month, about the beginning of spring ([[Lichun]]). The exact date can fall any time between January 21 and February 21 (inclusive) of the [[Gregorian Calendar]]. Traditionally, years were marked by one of twelve [[Earthly Branches]], represented by an animal, and one of ten [[Heavenly Stems]], which correspond to the [[Five elements (Chinese philosophy)|five elements]]. This combination [[sexagenary cycle|cycles every 60 years]]. It is the most important Chinese celebration of the year.
*The [[Korean New Year]] is a [[Seollal]] or Lunar New Year's Day. Although January 1 is, in fact, the first day of the year, Seollal, the first day of the lunar calendar, is more meaningful for Koreans. A celebration of the Lunar New Year is believed to have started to let in good luck and ward off bad spirits all throughout the year. With the old year out and a new one in, people gather at home and sit around with their families and relatives, catching up on what they have been doing.
*The [[Vietnamese New Year]] is the [[Tết Nguyên Đán]] which most times is the same day as the Chinese New Year due to the Vietnamese using a lunisolar calendar similar to the Chinese calendar.
*The [[Tibet]]an New Year is [[Losar]] and falls between January and March.
*The [[Taiwanese New Year]] is called Kuè-nî and falls between January and March.
