Some Americans are asking Chinese to call Chinese New Year the Lunar New Year to be "inclusive" and Chinese netizens are getting so confused .娃娃和芥末丝
Chinese ask Americans why are you saying we can't call Chinese New Year CNY? But do you know that the so called Lunar New Year actually falls in summer and CNY is in winter?
Many posts are about this CNY and LNY beefing and comments section are funny: "Calling it "Lunar New Year" just feels like a way to avoid acknowledging its origins. It's like calling Christmas "Winter Festival"-Indonesian netizens. "We should start to call English Globalish now."-US netizens. "I love my Korean friends, but if the Koreans want to rename Chinese New Year to Lunar New Year, I'm renaming K-Pop to L-Pop. Lunar Pop." "So true, they have not only Korean in those girls band anyway" -Canadian netizens. Here is the detailed explanation why the LNY is academically incorrect and culturally fake 爱粒鲨

Wow you’re really butthurt that I don't believe you are Chinese and you are calling me "silly""stupid" and nationalist now, look who just lost decency and got mad here, very typical westerner move, like all the meta media, first they tag themselves with good tags then tag Chinese with bad tags like you do. You've ignored all the cultural and academic questions I've raised, which leads me to reasonably suspect that you're either incredibly arrogant and willfully ignorant, or you simply don't understand Chinese culture, so you don't even know how to discuss it, or both.
You don't talk about logic and facts, you only talk about political positions, you claim that you are so generous and inclusive but you are not willing to discuss the very valid reason why most Chinese people don't like the term LNY and all you are able to cover it is calling them gatekeepers and not inclusive enough, seems to me you just hate average Chinese on xiaohongshu and you are being covert racist to them. You keep avoiding my questions, your comments are hollow because you are judging me with a sense of superiority, and you can't answer those actual questions. So basically, you are just condescending without giving any contents. I don't need to talk to you anymore, your words have exposed yourself.

It's always Chinese New Year because Lunar New Year is a fake concept, calling Chinese New Year Lunar New Year is actually cultural appropriation, unless you guys are willing to let Chinese call Christmas Koreanmas
This video explains very clearly that the Chinese New Year is determined by the Nanjing Zijinshan Observatory, the date of each year is different, and the determination method is complicated, combining the solar calendar, the lunar calendar, the celestial trunk and earthly branches, and the geographical latitude and longitude. Chinese New Year is actually based on Chinese agriculture calendar, not a simple lunar calendar at all, if it's based only on lunar calendar, then the Chinese New Year date should fall close to the summer months, so calling it LNY is not only disrespectful to Chinese culture, but also unreasonable.

“Calling it Lunar New Year instead of Chinese New Year doesn’t hurt Chinese people lol.” Now I doubt your words. If a person is indifferent to his culture being offended, he has no right to feel that just because he is Chinese he can represent other Chinese people, does he? I think you're just pretending to be Chinese because you're avoiding all the issues I'm discussing, all you have to do is download Little Red Book and you'll see that all Chinese people are disgusted by the term LNY. I don't think you can represent us, especially you can't represent those Chinese who know and love Chinese culture. Because you avoided all the facts I presented, is this picture what you call INCLUSIVE? Banning Chinese people from saying Chinese New Year but appropriate Chinese New Year as Korean New Year in a big stunt by google? No wonder Deepseek is giving chatgpt and google a hard slap on the face.

Calling CNY Lunar New Year is incorrect, because it just can't be, like an apple can't be a pear. As the video mentioned, if it's based only on lunar calendar solely, then the Chinese New Year date should fall to the summer months, then why they rely on the date set by Nanjing Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory each year? Why they align with Chinese perpetual calendar万年历 every year? Because the algorithm is too complex for them to figure out on their own. This algorithm includes heavenly stems and earthly branches, as well as Chinese agricultural feng shui. If the Chinese New Year date is calculated solely based on lunar calendar, then it will fall on June 27, 2025 this year. So calling it Lunar New Year is totally disrespectful to Chinese culture and its cultural identity. The comment section in the video said For all who want to celebrate LUNER NEW YEAR, please celebrate on June 27, 2025 AD. BUT January 29, 2025 is the CHINESE NEW YEAR which is Chunjie or Spring Festival. Chinese New Year is from the Chinese calendar, not from the lunar calendar.
No offense but you crudely implying that other Chinese are gatekeeping, then they surely can take that as you are supporting cultural appropriation and de-sinicization, because you don't even bother to discuss the fact that calling CNY Lunar new year is culturally and academically wrong and lacks basis. It's a big stunt of de-sinicization, which by your logic English should be called globalish because we all speak English, and we want to feel inclusive. If there is a need to pick a more inclusive term, why not the term chunjie, spring festival? Spring Festival is already registered with the United Nations, why don't use it instead of LNY? Why remove the “Chinese” from every concept that originated in China and is originally Chinese culture like they always do? This is what the western world has been doing for a long time, and if you are Chinese but support what they are doing, are you still surprised that many westerners are racists towards Chinese, this is how they treat the Chinese for a long time, by marginalizing you and your culture. They make you as invisible as the elephant in the room, and anyone who is aware of your presence is oblivious to you.
I asked my Korean friend, who, please note, is not a Korean born in a Western country, she was born in Jilin province Yanbian Korean autonomous region and raised in South Korea, and she confirmed with me that Korea never celebrated the term LNY before the 2010s, they just aligned with Chinese new year and called it 설날. This word doesn't remove its Chinese New Year origin. It was in the last couple of years that they suddenly started to appropriated a lot of Chinese culture but rename it and obscure its cultural identity, and she told me that it is true that Korea celebrated 설날 each year on the date set by the Nanjing Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory, rather than on some kind of lunar calendar new year date, and that she didn't understand why South Korea government suddenly did that in the past couple years, banning Chinese people from saying Chinese New Year in western world, and she finds the whole thing ridiculous.
No hard feelings and have a nice happy Chinese New Year.
