Remember for the first day of Chinese New Year..
Since everybody is in a festive mood, people shouldn’t argue. Also parents shouldn’t scold or punish the children. Otherwise, you will have more arguments in the coming year.
Women shouldn’t use knives or choppers in the kitchen, which indicate evil, anger, danger and cutting out the luck. As a result, women don’t cook new dishes on this day, people eat meals from the leftover.
Breaking dish plate, bowel or cup means bad money luck coming. In case that happens, then Chinese put all broken pieces in a round container until the coming trash day.
A married women should go back to her mothers home, otherwise her mother’s family will get poorer.
To sweep the floor or dump the trash will take away the wealth and luck from the house.
Don’t have a lunch nap at noon, otherwise people will be lazy year long.
To wash the hair will wash your good luck away.
Don’t wear in black or white to visit friends, because black and white are funeral color in China.
People shouldn’t visit friend’s house, if they have a family member newly past away.
Don’t eat rice porridge in the morning breakfast, otherwise you won’t get rich because only poor people eat rice porridge in the past.
Don’t eat meat in the morning breakfast, because many gods who are vegetarians arrive New Year Day festival in the morning.
Don’t wake people up by calling their names, otherwise that sleeping person needs people’s push all year long.
Don’t eat unnecessary medicine, otherwise you will become unhealthy this year.
Don’t wash clothes, because New Year Day is the birthday of the god of Water.
If someone owes you money, do not ask for the money back on this day. Otherwise, you will do it often in the rest of the year.
May you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous year of the Rat.
