klortho Posted August 23, 2005 at 03:50 PM Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 at 03:50 PM Does this just mean New Year's in the Western (old) calendar, or could it mean New Year's in the Chinese calendar, as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 24, 2005 at 03:21 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 at 03:21 PM I think it can be both, as 元旦 means the first day of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted August 24, 2005 at 03:34 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 at 03:34 PM Every time I came across this word it meant January 1. The first day of the Chinese new year is usually referred to as Chunjie, not as yuandan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klortho Posted August 24, 2005 at 04:09 PM Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 at 04:09 PM 谢谢! I asked a Chinese friend of mine today, and he told me that it only used for the Western calendar, never for Chinese New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
