Yes. In one country, you’d call it that,or seoullal or tet, so on for each country. But if you’re referring to the collective lunar festival celebrated by dint of the lunar calendar on the same day, boy, it just makes sense to call it the lunar new year.
“Lunar year” is a western term. This makes it difficult for me, because I don’t want to say to a chinese restaurant guy how he has to name his celebrations. A lunar calendar is from western perspective even more primitive. You can’t use it for farming, because the seasons drift through the “lunar year”. The chinese calendar is a typical farming calendar which has solved this problem. Lunisolar. Lunar the month, the year solar. If you know this lunar alone sounds arrogant or non-knowing. In my ears. In my life I only know Chinese who celebrate this. Everybody wants to know the animal of the year. There is even astrology. I don’t want to mix this with other cultures. The right-woke way is to ask the people how they name this. Then using their words. If you name it “lunar year” then it’s ok for me. But I would to know the original name in your culture. I like to know new words. Thank you for your wishes.
Lunar year is not a western term, it’s a comprehensive translation of all of the lunar New Years.
Why are you even making this up?
This is so much more embarrassing for you than if you just admitted that the lunar calendar is real and that countries other than wherever you’re from celebrate different holidays than you do.
Let’s examine your lunar-solar “argument”; the distinguiahing characteristic of all of these lunar-solar New years is that they’re based on the lunar part of the calendar.
The Lunar New Year part of the calendar.
The same Lunar New Year date shared with many other countries.
Lunar year is an english term. And the problem is you mix other cultures with the chinese. The Chinese year starts with a lunar event, new moon, but the years are orientated by the sol. The term “lunar year” is wrong if you refer it to the chinese calendar. If you want to mix “all lunar calendars” this makes no sense beside the woke motivation. They invent names for christmas without christ. And of course chinese culture is under fire and voilà they name the biggest chinese cultural event with a new name. This can be criticized.
One of them follows the solar cycle and one of them follows the lunar cycle.
Today celebrates the new year according to the lunar cycle.
“Lunar New Year” are literally English words, but not in any conceivable way a definitively and singularly English term, that’s so narcissistic of you it’s almost solipsistic, hahaha
It’s a reflective comprehensive translation of the lunar New Year of every culture that follows the lunar calendar.
You can totally criticize it, it’s super funny that you keep trying.
No. Every three years there’s an additional month to synchronize the calendar with the sol-year. So they mixed moon- and solyear.
Years ago the world I knew used the term “Chinese New Year”. Now your term is quite more often used by media. I think there is purpose not to bring positive news from this land. Words can be weapons.

Happy Lunar New Year

Chinese culture is not under fire.
They just have two separate calendars.
One of them follows the solar cycle and one of them follows the lunar cycle.
Today celebrates the new year according to the lunar cycle.

The differential being the lunar New Year.
The lunar New Year.
