That is interesting. Why is Chinese New Year, a spring festival, celebrated in winter though? Chinese New Year is celebrated on the day of the second new moon after the winter solstice, which would make it sometime in January or February. China has their own traditional way of defining seasons and they consider that day the start of spring. I had heard that China uses the solar seasons as their seasons (i.e. solar summer=summer, solar winter=winter, etc) |

When seasons progress from autumn to winter. Love the tranquility and contemplative atmosphere.

That's interesting about Chinese New Year, considering it occurs in meteorological winter, February but sometimes January even.
Lots of other cultures have new year celebrations in the spring also. Persians celebrate their new year, Nowruz, on the spring equinox, and Hindus celebrate in March or April.
In the Roman calendar March was also the first month of the year.

You know my answer.
Summer has the best vibe, because I love heat, humidity, fresh vegetables, fruity drinks, and green scenery.
