The calendar repeats every 28 years due to the cycle of leap years, which occur every 4 years. Therefore, the calendar was the same as 2009 in 1981, and will be the same again in 2037. This pattern is known as the Gregorian calendar cycle.
every year Please do not post silly answers like that. Chinese New Year follows the Lunar Calendar, which is different from the Solar or Gregorian Calendar used very commonly everywhere now. In the Chinese Lunar calendar, Chinese New Year always falls on the 1st of the 1st Lunar month, called 年初一 nian(2) chu(1) yi(1) lit. means the first (day) of the year. However in the solar calendar it can vary from any day in January to late February. For e.g. the 1st 2 days of Chinese New Year in 2010 fell on 14 Feb (Valentine's Day) and 15 Feb but in 2009, it was on 26 and 27 Jan 2009. Chinese New Year also refers to a period, and not just 1 day. It is typically a 2-week break, and usually starting before the actual day because the Eve is a very important part of the celebrations as well.
