Re: UN Postal Administration refuses to change 'Chinese Lunar Calendar' to more inclusive term on stamp sheet

Have no idea on why the UN wanted to issue Chinese New Year stamp.
Concerning "Lunar Calendars", they are kind of different. Just like
different Asian countries are different.
If one is interested in Chinese calendar, the following is from
Wikipedia:
"The traditional Chinese calendar, dating back to the Han dynasty, is a
lunisolar calendar that blends solar, lunar, and other cycles for social
and agricultural purposes. While modern China primarily uses the
Gregorian calendar for official purposes, the traditional calendar
remains culturally significant. It determines the timing of Chinese New
Year with traditions like the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac still
widely observed. "
More important, as a cultural feature, the Chinese calendar is closely
related to the development of astronomy in China. It changed with
improvement in astronomy. The Qing version, developed by Ming officials,
had assimilated Western astronomical knowledge obtained from the Jesuits
as a refinement.
