Today the Black Water Tiger finally comes into its own. What do you need to do on Chinese New Year to bring happiness and good luck into your life?
New Year is the most important and longest holiday in the Middle Kingdom, it does not have a specific date, since it depends on the lunar calendar. For Ukrainians, this is an opportunity to celebrate the New Year and make a wish for the third time. How not to anger the owner of the year and not frighten off your luck?
You need to celebrate the New Year and receive guests in the room where the table is set, but in no case congratulate each other in the bedroom, otherwise in the new year you may have frequent scandals and conflicts with close ones.
For a whole day after the onset of the New Year, it is forbidden to use a knife and any other cutting objects, otherwise you can cut off your path to happiness and prosperity.
In the New Year, in no case should you clean the house, otherwise you will not see good luck in the coming year. The Chinese believe that before the New Year, the gods send good luck and happiness to every home, it settles in the form of dust, so sweeping away the dust means deliberately refusing such a gift.
Three days after the New Year, you can not do anything with your appearance: paint, haircut, manicure or any other cosmetic procedures. According to legend, the symbol of the year - the Tiger, must remember each person in person in order to help him in difficult periods of life.
On this day, it is forbidden to scandal, argue, sort things out and cry, otherwise you risk spending the whole next year in quarrels and tears.
There is a saying that on New Year's Eve, all evil spirits are looking for a new home, so in order to expel them from their home, it was customary to make a lot of noise. It was from here that the tradition of launching fireworks on New Year's Eve appeared, and earlier any kitchen utensils were used.
On New Year's Eve, it is forbidden to use the word "four" in a conversation, as you can attract troubles and illnesses into your life. This is due to the fact that it is consonant with the word "death" and The universe may misunderstand you. Also, do not talk about illnesses and troubles, and try not to use turns with the "not" particle.
It is customary to celebrate the New Year in new clothes, always red (this is especially true underwear), and old things must be burned so that your sorrows, failures and problems are not left and trace.
The first person and the first word you hear from him can predict your fate for the next year, so be careful.
