In many traditions, including Chinese, the new year is marked by the lunar calendar, not the solar calendar. That makes today New Year's Day for many people!
"It’s the Lunar New Year and the Chinese Year of the Horse. The horse is part of a 12-year-cycle of animals that make up the Chinese zodiac. These interact with the five elements: wood, metal, fire, water, earth. 2014 is the year of the wood horse, taking over from the year of the water snake."
