Let’s Call It What It Is: Chinese New Year！
If you don't fully understand the cultural and scientific depth, let's discuss this from a perspective everyone in business understands: IP (Intellectual Property).
My experience dealing with IP matters at a multinational company taught me one simple rule: If you use someone’s creation, you credit the owner. Period.
Yet, some people want to rename "Chinese New Year" to something else. Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about being “inclusive.” It’s about basic IP respect.
Here’s why this issue matters:
1. It undermines a Proprietary System: The calendar isn’t just “moon phases.” It’s a complex scientific system calculated by China’s Purple Mountain Observatory. Treating it as generic is like using Windows but calling it “Generic Computer System.”
2. It causes Brand Dilution: In business, we fight to protect brand names from becoming generic. “Chinese New Year” dates back over 3,000 years and is still updated continuously. Erasing “Chinese” erases its origin.
3. It disrespects scientific labor: Scientists work hard to calculate the exact dates. Ignoring the name ignores their work.
Respecting diversity means respecting origins. Just as we protect patents and trademarks at work to keep the market fair, we should protect cultural heritage too.
Don’t scrub the name. Call it Chinese New Year.
It’s accurate, it’s respectful, and it upholds the very principle of intellectual property that protects us all. Let’s not set a precedent where origin stories can be erased without consequence.

Your title is correct! I even had to double check myself! Good job!

Well written! I think what you wanted to say was conveyed well in every sentence.
To learn more, I watched a few videos on the history and calculation of the Chinese New Year! There is a lot of history behind it!

Feedback
That makes so much sense. Thanks for the explanation.
I saw your reply below about an American company changing the greetings. It seems Americans have the habit of changing the greeting to suit everyone, but end up ignoring the origin of that particular celebration. Another example is Christmas, last year I just found out they say 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas' as they want the greetings to cover everybody, because everyone celebrates it.

What are they trying to rename it to? Are you referring to “Spring Festival” or “Lunar New Year”? Or are you saying they’re trying to change the Chinese term for Chinese New Year?

I’m really curious about who is trying to rename Chinese New Year and what name they’re trying to use instead!
today
Oh, I thought it was a hot topic since I had seen it multiple times in the past month and Toluwani also wrote an entry about it. It's a discussion between Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year. Even some companies in the US sent Emails to say happy lunar new year to the Chinese people and forbid saying Happy Chinese New Year for exclusive reasons.

Excellent writing! And this was a very interesting argument - I'd never thought about it this way.

Thank you！
And yes, the scientists are still doing it. As I wrote, it is still updated continuously.
I chose to explain this way just because it relates to everyone in the world. But to be honest, it's more obvious and convincing in the cultural and scientific ways.
Have a nice day!
