Happy Chinese New Year 2011


Chinese New Year is a product of the Lunisolar Calendar
The Chinese calendar harmonizes both the Lunar cycle and the Solar year by incorporating astronomical observations of:
a.The phases of the moon and
b.The apparrent path of the sun

How is Chinese New Year’s Day determined?
In one sentence, the Chinese New Year is the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice. It is based strictly on astronomical observations, and has nothing to do with the Pope, emperors, animals or myths. Due to its scientific and mathematical nature, we can easily and precisely calculate backward or forward for thousands of years.

The Winter Solstice occurs when the apparent path of the sun reaches its lowest point on the horizon. To an observer in the northern hemisphere, the sun reaches its lowest height of the year on that day. The shadow it casts is the longest. For an observer in the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true.

  1. How can i extend the range of a Wireless N router? I have an Xtreme N handheld router (Dlink). I have to extend the reach in the wireless signal. I know how to do it for the G signal. I want to know how to do the idea for an N sign. Is it possible make use of regular N routers as repeaters. If so, how to configure them. Thanks for that information.

  3. Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon on a daily basis. It will always be useful to read articles from other authors and practice something from their sites.

  4. I was just searching for this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.

  15. sa mga tulad mong may pangangatwiran (logical), ang bagong taon ay ang buong 12 buwan. halimbawa, ang taong 2011 ang bagong taon natin sa ngayon. sa ika-31 ng disyembre, magiging luma na ito kaya ang magiging bagong taon ay ang taong 2012.

  16. Very interesting post, never the less. Talking of position of heavenly bodies is a matter of science. Of scientific matter.

    January 1 appears to be purely incidental that became traditional. There simply are 365 days in a year. It happened to have been divided to 12 [Why 12 when it could have been 6 or 15 or what]. The first of twelve happened to have been named January. And the first day of that, well, that’s it.

  17. January 1 is the universally recognized New Year. Even China recognizes that. To changed that now can result to unimaginable chaos…computers’ timer are all set to that.

    Sure every nation has the right to celebrate what are parts of their customs and traditions.

    • totoong ang unang araw ng ating kalendaryo (Gregorian calendar) ang kinikilala ng halos buong mundo bilang bagong taon. totoo ring magkakaroon ng malaking kaguluhan kung ito’y babaguhin.
      ngunit sa tingin mo ba hindi magulo ang ating kalendaryo? tingnan mo: ang Panginoon ay isinilang sa ika-25 ng disyembre ngunit palipat-lipat ang petsa kung kailan Siya namatay. ito’y mula ika-22 ng marso hanggang ika-21 ng abril. bakit?

      sa totoo lang, may mga kalendaryong mas akyurit kesa sa atin tulad ng Mayan at Sumerian. mas laganap lang ang kristiyanismo kaya ang Gregorian calendar na ang ating ginamit.

      sa mga panahong ito, ako’y naniniwala na malapit nang magkaisa ang lahat ng mga kalendaryo. malapit na ring magkakaunawaan ang siyensiya at ang mga pamahiin. ipaliliwanag ko na lang ito sa susunod kong mga paskil.

  18. I am in fact third filial generation Chinese. But I observe only one New Year, not this one. I go with where majority of Filipinos are. Like the majority of 10% Filipinos of Chinese descent, and like my my great old man, old China is history. There is only Philippine of the Filipinos and for Filipinos. Chinese belong to China.

    • tulad mo rod, ako ma’y kumikilala lang ng iisang new year at yon ay ang umpisa ng taon ngunit nakikisayaw na rin ako sa mga katulad mong may dugong Tsino.
