Happy Chinese New Year!
Just a few of the culture's beliefs revolving around the New Year:
-Lady in Red: Wow, I haven't ever seen so many colors. All these bright colored decorations bring good luck but it is the color red that is considered the ultimate luck bringer.
-Play till Late: Go to sleep past midnight on new year’s eve to ensure your parents will have a longer life.
-"I'll Have Some More, Please": The longer it takes you to eat your new year's eve dinner, the longer your life will be.
-Boom, Pow, Crackle: Set off fire crackers to welcome the new year and to chase away evil spirits.
-Balance the Books: Repay all your debts before the new year. Otherwise, you will be owing others all through the year.
-Dirty Doings: Put your feet up and relax. Certainly the most enjoyable of the Chinese New Year superstitions, sweeping and cleaning is strictly forbidden. The Chinese believe cleaning means you'll sweep all of your good luck out the front door.
-Coming Clean: Preceding the prior, you need to give the house a full spring clean, before putting cleaning tools in the cupboard on New Year's Eve.
