Chinese New Year

There are many calendars in the world. One of the most biggest ones is Chinese Calendar. Tomorrow, February 10 is the new year for it.

Chinese Calendar is based on the Lunar Calendar. According to some Internet sites, Islamic calendar, and Nepali's Calendar also based on the moon phases. Therefore, the new year days are different from calendars.

I remember the crescent moon is on some Islam countries' flags. Also the International Red Cross flags in Islam countries are too. We realize how the moon is important for the culture.
