Chinese New Year is the time where family and friends gather to celebrate a year of happiness, prosperity, health, and good fortune. There are plenty of fun things to do during Chinese New Year<\/a>, including feeding your family with the best CNY menus<\/a> and showering them with festive gifts<\/a>. But, living in Hong Kong, there are also certain rules (some not so fun) during the festive season that you need to bear in mind, or else it is said to invite bad luck for the future year. So, here are 10 Chinese New Year traditions, or dos and don\u2019ts, that you should pay attention to!<\/p>\n

Chinese New Year traditions: Dos and don’ts<\/h2>\n

1. DO wear red on both the outside and inside<\/h3>\n

Red is a lucky colour in Chinese culture, symbolising good luck and success. And especially when people are participating in games such as mahjong, wearing red underwear is always a plus! A black and white wardrobe reminds people of death and funerals, so don\u2019t dress in black when you\u2019re paying a visit to a friend or a family member\u2019s house during Chinese New Year. This is one of the most important Chinese New Year traditions you need to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

Talking about clothes, if you’re in search of beautiful clothes for Chinese New Year, look no further than our guide to buying cheongsam and qipao in Hong Kong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. DO greet everyone you meet<\/h3>\n

Say kung hey faat choi<\/em>\u00a0(\u606d\u559c\u767c\u8ca1), meaning “I wish you wealth” in Cantonese; or sun tai geen hong<\/em> (\u8eab\u9ad4\u5065\u5eb7), which means “I wish you health”, to those around you. It\u2019s part of the traditional mannerism to greet everyone you encounter during Chinese New Year, and they\u2019ll most likely return the favour, too.<\/p>\n

3. DO give out a pair of red packets (lai see<\/em>) if you’re married<\/h3>\n

What comes after kung hey faat choi<\/em>? It’s the rhyme: lai see dauu loi<\/em> (\u5229\u662f\u9017\u4f86), which means “give me the red packets”! There are various traditions tied to giving out red packets, but the most important ones include receiving them graciously and politely from the elders; being the one to give out a pair of red packets if you’re married; and giving out only one if you’re widowed. As for the amount of money you put inside, it can depend on how generous you are and how close you are to the recipients.<\/p>\n

4. DO give away mandarin oranges<\/h3>\n

There are an array of Chinese New Year foods and snacks<\/a> that you should get your hands on during the holiday. In Cantonese, mandarin orange (\u67d1\u6854) is homophonous with the word “gold” (\u91d1) and “luck” (\u5409). So, it\u2019s part of the tradition that people bring along mandarin oranges while visiting others\u2019 family and hand them out as a sign of sharing good fortune.<\/p>\n

5. DON\u2019T speak about death<\/h3>\n

Growing up, our grandparents always shushed us when we accidentally spilled the word \u201cdead\u201d or \u201cghost\u201d, as it invites bad luck and misfortune to the individual or even the family. So, if you don\u2019t want any unfortunate events to happen to you or your loved ones, remember this Chinese New Year tradition.<\/p>\n

6. DON\u2019T wash or cut your hair<\/h3>\n
\"haircut

On the first day of Chinese New Year, you must not wash or cut your hair. In Cantonese, hair is pronounced as faat<\/em> (\u9aee), which is the same as the word for “getting rich” (\u767c). If you wash your hair, it means that you\u2019re washing your own fortune away for the coming 365 days. To make things more interesting, some even avoid washing clothes on the first and second day, because these two days are celebrated as the birthday of the Water God. Same logic applies to cutting your hair \u2013 you wouldn’t wish to cut off your fortune the first day of the year!<\/p>\n

But after that, maybe you should check out our fave hair salons in Hong Kong<\/a> to welcome the new year. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

7. DON\u2019T cry<\/h3>\n

As you might’ve noticed, it’s believed that what you do during the first few days of Chinese New Year could completely script your luck in the coming year. So don\u2019t cry, it\u2019s going to mess up your luck (and makeup) with all those tears!<\/p>\n

8. DON\u2019T buy shoes<\/h3>\n
\"chinese
It’s not recommended to buy new shoes during Chinese New Year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The word “shoe” in Cantonese (\u978b) has the same sound as a sigh. That\u2019s why you\u2019re not suggested to buy new shoes during Chinese New Year, as it means that you\u2019re going to jinx yourself with loads of disappointment and miserable events that will make you sigh in the coming year. So, as pretty as those kicks look, put ’em down (for now)!<\/p>\n

9. DON\u2019T buy books<\/h3>\n

Talk about avoiding terrible homophones again and again! Books (\u66f8) is pronounced the same as \u201closing\u201d (\u8f38) in Cantonese . This is definitely one of the most important Chinese New Year\u2019s traditions to remember, as you don\u2019t want to mention books while your parents and grandparents are playing mahjong \u2013 you might just get scolded no matter how old you are.<\/p>\n

10. DON\u2019T do any house cleaning during the holiday<\/h3>\n

Before the holiday arrives, the entire family should do their spring cleaning and make sure they get rid of last year\u2019s bad fortune and memories of any mishaps. On the first day of Chinese New Year, however, no one is allowed to clean their house anymore as that is a sign of sweeping away the household\u2019s fortune for the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
