Is there a lunar festival in china?
Absolutely. The 'Chinese New year', also known as 'The Lunar New Year Festival' is not celebrated at the same time as the 'Western New Year', because the Chinese calendar is different from the Gregorian one. Also, the 'Festival' is not just celebrated in China, but in Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Korea (both North and South) as well as most other Asian countries.For a much better and more comprehensive overview of the celebration and its history, I recommend that you go to Wikipedia and type: Chinese Lunar New Year into the search engine there. You will find a great deal of information on that page and its links.
Did the ancient Chinese worship animals?
Not in the same sense at the egyptians, the Chinese held some animals, such as the dragon in reverence, but they did not "worship" them in the same way as the ancient egyptians. They were more revered than they were worshiped.

How many days is in one year?
365 Days are in 1 year and 366 Days are every 4 years in the fourth year. Explanation : Teorically, there are 365,25 days in a year. The next year is same, but, if 365,25 is multiplied by two, the result is 365,50 and if multiplied it by four equals 366,00 days. It means, if the number of the year (Ex : 2012) can be divided by 4, it means that year is called leap year. If you wan't proof, divide this year by four = 2012 divided by 4 = 503 so this year is leap year. Another proof ? See February calendar. Usually, the month of February has 28 days. Every four years, in the fourth year (it's now too), February has 29 days. Don't search for February with 29 days. See this year's (2012) February calendar in the computer, internet, board calendar, or wall calendar. It has 29 days. It means one day added in February (29th day) and the total day is 366 every four years in the fourth year.

Why was last years Chinese New Year on a different than this years?
Last year's Chinese New Year was on a different day than this year's because our western (Gregorian) calendar clashes (doesn't match) with the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Thus, Chinese New Year is never on the same day every year.
How many years will pass before the days of the week are back to the same cycle as in 2014?
It will be 11 years from 2014. 2025 will be the next year that will have the same combination of days and dates as 2014 does. 2020 will also start on a Wednesday, but as it is a leap year, and 2014 isn't, it will have a different combination for most of the year. So the next non-leap year that starts on a Wednesday is 2025.
What is the difference between New Years and Chinese New Year?

What is the Chinese horoscope for Taurus?

When will a Wednesday leap year occur again?
Every leap year has at least 52 Wednesdays. The last leap year that started on a Wednesday was 1992. The last time February 29 fell on a Wednesday was 1984. The last leap year that ended on a Wednesday was 2008.
Why did April 18 fall on Sunday twice between 1934 and 1945 when it didn't fall on Wednesday between these two years?
The Wednesday was skipped over due to the leap year in 1940. It was on a Tuesday in 1939. As 1940 was a leap year, it skipped over the Wednesday, and it was on a Thursday. It was not until 1945 that Wednesday came round again. Between 1934 and 1945 is an 11 year gap. That length of time without a date occurring on the same day is very common. A date happens on the same day again every 5, 6 or 11 years. It depends on how the leap years fall in the period.
What is the difference between new years and Chinese New Years?
The difference is that Chinese New Year is celebrated by mostly Chinese, it comes from China and is celebrated later then Feliz Navidad. Also let's not forget that Feliz Navidad is 'Merry Christmas' in Spanish, another difference because Christmas and New Years are the same holidays.

It's the same reason that people celebrate Easter or Christmas: it is their tradition. If you are Chinese or are interested in Chinese culture/traditions, you may celebrate Chinese New Year. It is just like westerners celebrating our new year except the Chinese choose to use a different date.
