# When is the Chinese New Year's Day in Year 2006?
January 29, 2006 is the first day of the Chinese new year.
There are three ways to name a Chinese year:
1. By an animal (like a mscot).
This year is known as the Year of the Dog.
There are 12 animal names; so by this system, year names are re-cycled every 12 years. More.
2. By its Formal Name (Stem-Branch).
The new year is the year of bingxu.
In the 'Stem-Branch' system, the years are named in 60-year cycles, and the Name of the Year is repeated every 60 years.
2006 is the 7th year in the current 60-year cycle.
3. It is Year 4703 by the Chinese calendar.
[A few Chinese astrological/zodiac websites believe this year should be considered as Year 4704 for zodiac calculations.]
