Red is regarded as China’s lucky color all year round, and the Chinese New Year is no exception. Other bright colors (such as gold or yellow) that represent strength and prosperity are also the most popular choices.

There are several traditions for the Lunar New Year.

Washing or cutting your hair on the first day of the Chinese New Year is considered bad luck, because it seems you are going to wash away your luck and prosperity in the coming year.

According to ChinaHighlights.com, there are some rules to follow when giving gifts during the Spring Festival. First of all, please pay attention to the color of gifts and wrapping paper. Red, yellow and gold are good colors because they symbolize wealth. Avoid white or even white envelopes because that color indicates death. The use of blue and black should also be avoided.
In addition, please pay attention to the numbers when giving money gifts. The word “four” has a similar pronunciation to the word “death” in several Chinese. Therefore, please avoid providing any amount that contains this number, or even a multiple of four as a gift. On the other hand, the number “eight” is considered lucky, so a monetary gift amount such as “88″ would be a good choice. When giving or receiving gifts, two hands are considered polite. And when giving money, make sure the bill is clean and new.
Each zodiac sign is considered lucky in its own way. However, on certain auspicious dates and years, certain signs may be considered exceptionally lucky. For example, according to “Your Tango”, anyone born in the Year of the Ox on the 13th or 27th of any month is considered very lucky. For those born in the Year of the Rabbit, it is said that those born on the 26th or 27th of each month will have a higher status and a “harmonious marriage.” Each zodiac sign has a particularly auspicious date and year.
