DosandDontsofChineseNewYear

Do"s:

Eatvegetarianfoodbecauseit"snotgoodtoseeblood.吃素食,因為見血是不吉利的；

BuynewtrousersbecausetheChinesewordfortrousersis"fu",(Chinesehomonymforwealth)買新褲子（衣服）,因為漢語里褲子就是“服”,（在漢語里與財富的“富”諧音）；

thenextgeneration.Businessownersalsogivelaiseetoemployeesandassociates.給每個孩子兩份“來喜”（我覺得應該指錢是偶數的）,因為好事成雙,不要只給一份.這是你把祝愿傳遞給下一代的方法.企業主（老板）也要給員工和同事紅包.

Don"ts:

"issimilartothesoundofsighing,whichChinesebelieveisnotagoodwaytostarttheyear.不要在新年的第一個月買新鞋,因為在漢語里鞋的發音是“孩”（好像是四川地區的發音）,它與嘆息”唉“相近,中國人認為這不是新年伊始的好兆頭.

Don"twashyourhairforthefirstthreedaysoftheNewYear,becausetheChinesewordforhairisahomonymfortheChinesewordforwealth.Therefore,Chinesebelieveitisn"tagoodthingto"washawayyourwealth"rightatthestartoftheNewYear.在新年的前三天里不要洗頭,因為漢語里“頭發”的“發”和“發財”的“發”同音.因此,中國認為在新年伊始把財富給沖走可不是好兆頭.

FloorsmaynotbesweptandgarbagemaynotbedisposedofonthefirstdayoftheNewYearforfearofcastingrichesoutthedoor.在新年第一天,不拖地,不扔垃圾,因為怕把"財"給送走了；
