The Lunar New Year, which starts on 8 February this year, marks the Year of the Fire Monkey in the Chinese calendar.
DO's & DON'Ts
DO's & DON'Ts
- Decorate your home with red lanterns and the "Fu" or luck character.
- Wear new clothes. Out with the old, in with the new – particularly if they are bright, happy colours. Red symbolises prosperity.
- See a dragon or lion dance and pray for the year ahead at the temple.
- Don't buy, give or do four of anything. The word for four has the misfortune of sounding like the word for death.
- Avoid wearing white or black, which are traditional colours of mourning.
- Don't sweep the house on New Year's Day, so as to avoid sweeping away good fortune.
- Be careful what you do... Bad habits forged in the New Year set the tone for the entire year.
