I went online and read some of the rules of the Chinese calendar. To me, it seemsvery complicated, and I'm not sure I understand it.This is what I think it says about the beginning of the year:-- Chinese months are not related to the Gregorian months. Each Chinese monthstarts at the time of a New Moon.-- The Chinese year has sometimes 12 months and sometimes 13 months.-- The "Winter Solstice" ... the first day of Winter, usually on December 21 or 22 or 23 ...is always in the Chinese month #11. So the Chinese New Year will start on the secondNew Moon after that.-- The Chinese New Year in 2013 starts on February 10th. (New Moon).
