Aylin, it's because Chinese people has their own calendar called lunar calendar before the solar calendar was intoduced into China. They celebrate the New Year that falls on Jan. 1 according to their lunar calendar. Lunar calendar is mostly used by Han people. Some ethnic groups have their own calendars. So they celebrate their New Year on different dates.
