饰品，因为红色昭示着幸运；

吃素食，因为见血是不
吉利的；

Buy
new
trousers
because
the
Chinese
word
for
trousers
is

(Chinese
homonym
for
wealth)
买新裤子
（衣服）
，
因为汉语里裤子就是“服”，
（在汉语里与财富 的“富”
谐音）；

Children

up
as
late
as
possible
on
New
Year's

拜访亲戚朋友（尤其是比你 年长的），传递
你对他们来年幸福的美好祝愿
（另外孩子和单身的人将会得到装满钱的幸运红包 ，
称为“来
喜”。）

Give two lai see to each child. Because happiness comes in two's, do not just
give one. This is your way of passing good luck to the next generation. Business
owners also give lai see to employees and associates.
给每个孩子两份“来喜”（我
觉得应该指钱是偶数的）
，因 为好事成双，不要只给一份。这是你把祝愿传递给下一代的方
法。企业主（老板）也要给员工和同事红包 。


Don'ts:

Don't wear white or black clothing, since they are the traditional colours of
mourning.
不要穿白色或黑色服装，因为这是传统意义上丧事的颜色；

Don't buy new shoes for the first month of the New Year, because the sound of
shoe in Chinese is
believe is not a good way to start the year.
不要在新年的第一个月买新鞋，因为在
汉语里鞋的发音是“孩”（好像是四川地区的发音），< br>
它与叹息”唉“相近，中国人认为
这不是新年伊始的好兆头。

Don't
wash
your
hair
for
the
first
three
days
of
the
New
Year,
because
the
Chinese
word
for
hair
is
a
homonym
for
the
Chinese
word
for
wealth.
Therefore,
Chinese
believe
it
isn't
a
good
thing
to
'wash
away
your
wealth'
right
at
the
start
of
the
New
Year.
在新年的前三天里不要洗头，
因为汉语里“头发”的“发”和“发财”的 “发”同音。
因此，
中国认为在新年伊始把财富给冲走可不是好兆头。
