Chinese New Year celebrates in Azerbaijan University of Languages

Chinese New Year has today been celebrated in the Azerbaijan University of Languages (AUL).
AUL rector, MP Samad Seyidov and Chinese ambassador Hong Jiuyin were among the participants at the event.

Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally ran from Chinese New Year's Day itself, the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the longest in the Chinese calendar. Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year".
