2019年的农历新年，或春节，是公历2月5日，距离现在还有34天。

华人庆祝两个新年，公历新年（元旦）和农历新年（春节）。
Chinese celebrate two new year days, Gregorian calendar new year and Agricultural calendar new year.
在大多数华人人的眼里，春节比元旦更重要，因为它记载着中华人民五千年以来的传统。中国各地的传统并不完全一样，不过一些比较典型并广为人知的包括舞狮、贴春联、放烟花、给红包等等。
To most Chinese, Chinese new year is more important than the international new year, due to the 5 thousand years of traditional activities during the Chinese new year. The traditions vary in different parts of China, but the most typical and well-known ones include lion dancing, spring festival couplets, fireworks, Angbao and etc.
春节的时间是农历正月初一（正月就是一月）。因为农历和公历是两套不同的历法，春节每年的日期都不一样，在公历1月21日和2月21日之间。历史上最早的春节是1966年的1月21日，最晚的是1985年的2月20日，它们相差整整一个月。根据科学家预测，如果不人为调整农历的话，我们将会在2319年迎来最晚的春节，2月21日。
The date of Spring Festival is 1st January of the Agricultural calendar (zhengyue is the same as January). Since the Agricultural and the Gregorian are two different sets of calendars, Spring Festival falls on different dates each year, usually between 21st Jan and 21st Feb of the Gregorian calendar. The earliest Spring Festival of a year was on 21st Jan 1966 and the latest was on 20th Feb 1985, which are almost 1 month in between. According to a scientific prediction, if the Agricultural calendar is not adjusted manually, we will have the latest Spring Festival of a year in 2319, on 21st Feb.
