a friendly reminder from your local korean blogger that βlunar new yearβ is inclusive of the many cultures who celebrate, and βchinese new yearβ should be used only if youβre referring to specifically chinese cultural practices of the new year. thank you!!!
people in the notes have raised concerns that the term βlunar new yearβ erases jewish practices of rosh hashanah or islamic practices of hijri new year. i did not invent the term βlunar new yearβ and can only say that itβs the general, common term used to refer to the (mostly east) asian new year celebrations that occur in late january or early february. i welcome muslim or jewish folks to speak on whether or not the term feels exclusive to them, but as the original post implies, the point of the meme is to stop white people from perpetuating the idea that all asian culture is chinese.
Non-Jews clowning in the notes trying to white knight yourselves about Rosh Hashanah: shut up
Lunar New Year is a perfectly acceptable and accurate term for Asian New Year celebrations. Lunar New Year is used to refer to East Asian celebrations which fall on the first new moon of the Lunar calendar.
The Hebrew Calendar is lunar, correct. But our New Year - Rosh Hashanah - falls on 1st Tishrei (around September/October on the Gregorian calendar) and is celebrated as the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
While our New Year is technically a Lunar New Year in so far as it's "a New Year celebrated on the Lunar Calendar", I can guarantee you that when you say Lunar New Year, there is not a single Jew that thinks you're talking about Rosh Hashanah.
Stop trying to use me as a weapon against asian folks. I see you and I'm mad about it.
Just gonna tack onto Ash's wonderful addition that you should stop using Muslims to be racist against Asians, too.
Muslims refer to our lunar calendar as the Hijri calendar. We have never referred to it as a lunar calendar. And we refer to our new year as the Hijri New Year.
Asians using the term "lunar new year" does not erase us or invalidate us either because that's simply a term we (Muslims) do not use!
As previously stated, "lunar new year" is predominantly used by Asians so to deny them that would be to invalidate them and their traditions.
Timely reminders here.
