Lunisolar

Chinese New Year is based on the Lunisolar calendar, not the Lunar calendar as commonly misunderstood. The traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar that combines lunar phases with solar observations to maintain alignment with the seasons.

While often called "Lunar New Year" in English, this is actually a misnomer. The celebration marks the beginning of the Chinese lunisolar year, which typically falls between late January and mid-February in the Gregorian calendar.
