Talk:List of observances set by the Chinese calendar

Needs an update

This page does not contain the dates for all of these holidays in 2022, with the exception of a few. I would like to note that this article must be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoliticallyPassionateGamer (talk • contribs) 17:30, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

the traditional hoildays

the traditional chinese hoildays have been part of chinese tradition for thousands of years; they are an essential part chinese culture. many holidays are associated with chinese mythology and folklore tales, but more realistically, they probably originated from ancient farmer rituals for celebrated in japan, korea, vietnam, and other asian countries. All traditional hoildays are scheduled according to the chinese calendar. there are so many chinese holidays such as new year ever, spring festival, lantern festival, zhonghe festival, and more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.132.176 (talk) 20:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

This article

Shouldn't have a half-page of unsourced 'traditions' for each holiday: we should have something simple and easy to print with links to pages for each holiday. Especially, we should avoid bias towards only Cantonese-based traditions. -114.91.96.194 (talk) 03:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Look at Public holidays in the People's Republic of China for the kind of thing I'm talking about. -114.91.96.194 (talk) 03:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Dongzhi dates

Don't these dates fall on the winter solstice? Which would only ever be either 21 or 22 December? Nightw 08:50, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Wiki policy for list sourcing

I have removed the "Sources needed" template because the list is reliably linked to Wikipedia articles and unlikely to be challenged. The policy is quite clear:

WP:MINREF Content must be verifiable with a "reliable specifically for the following four types of statements, one that has been challenged or is "likely to be challenged," contentious material about living persons, then: "Our sourcing policies do not require an inline citation for any other type of material, although it is typical for editors to voluntarily exceed these minimum standards." And finally, "Technically, if an article contains none of these four types of material, then it is not required by any policy to name any sources at all, either as inline citations or as general references."

I agree, however, with the call for more holidays, but that is a different matter. Happy New Year! ch (talk) 17:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
