一、为什么中国农历新年被称为“ lunar new year”
1、农历新年译作“lunar new year”并不准确。
2、lunar的意思是“月亮的”，然而农历并不是纯阴历，而是阴阳合历。施韡介绍，如今各个国家和民族采用的历法有三大类——阳历、阴历、阴阳合历。
3、我国农历就是阴阳合历。主要靠二十四节气和置闰法则。二十四节气是农历中“阳”的部分，它们是太阳周年视运动轨迹（可以理解为地球公转轨道）上的24个等分点，与月球无关。
4、施韡认为可以是“chinese new year”。他解释说，东亚、东南亚有不少国家受中华文化影响，但据他了解，以农历正月初一为新年第一天的国家只有越南。如果考虑到越南人的感受，可以把越南新年称为“vietnamese new year”。而外国人向华人拜年时，完全可以说“happy chinese new year”。
5、外国人拜年还可以说“happy spring festival”。“spring festival”是“春节”的标准英文翻译，中国天文学会天文名词审定委员会对此早有定论，相关译名收录于《英汉天文学名词》一书。
二、korean lunar new year什么意思
1、korean lunar new year的意思是朝鲜农历新年。
2、“Lunar”是什么意思？它的意思是“月球的；月亮的；以月球公转测度的”等。
3、“Lunar New Year”的意思是，以月球公转测度的新年。也即西方人是根据历法来取名的。
4、往年，西方往往是用Chinese New Year指称中国的新春佳节。而在今年，西方流行用“Lunar New Year”替换了Chinese New Year。Chinese New Year的意思是“中国新年”，Lunar New Year的意思是“阴历新年”。
5、于是，有网友认为，这是西方故意炮制出Lunar New Year，以抹杀中国春节文化元素，打压中国传统文化在国际上的传播。而且，韩国等国家极力支持用“Lunar New Year”替换Chinese New Year。近年来，韩国各界一直在国际语境中，竭力将Chinese New Year替换成“Lunar New Year”，以削弱其所含的中国文化背景。
