2015 Chinese New Year Thursday Feb 19,2015

 

The Year 2015 is the 4712th Chinese year. The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China).

 The Yellow King became king in 2697 B.C., therefore China will enter the 4712th year on February 19, 2015.

Also, the Chinese Year uses the cycle of 60 Stem-Branch counting systems and the Green Wood Sheep is the 32nd Stem-Branch in the cycle.

 Since (60 *78) + 32 = 4712, therefore 2015 is the Wooden Sheep year, which is the 4712th Chinese Year.

2015 is the year of Sheep

The first day of the 2015 Chinese New Year is on February 19, 2015 in China's time zone. This day is a new moon day, and is the first day of the first Chinese Lunar Month the first Chinese lunar monthin the Chinese Lunar Calendar system.
