Do's and don'ts during Chinese New Year:
==========================================
Things to do
-------------------
Greet others with "Kung Hei Fat Choi" which means "Wishing You Prosperity and Wealth".
Give two Lai Sees to each child as happiness comes in twos. This is your way of passing good luck to the next generation.
Business owners also give Lai See to employees and associates.
Wear new clothes - preferably in red for luck.
Things to avoid
--------------------
No housework or cooking is allowed for the first two days of the New Year. Sweeping and cutting are especially taboo, because they represent the sweeping away or severing of good luck.
Don't wash your hair on the first and last day of the New Year.
Don't greet people who are in mourning.
Don't drop your chopsticks.
Don't say words related to sickness and death.
Don't borrow or lend money.
Avoid arguing and using negative language.
Don't slaughter poultry or livestock to avoid any association with death.
Avoid breaking anything as it is indicative of bad luck ahead - if you do, you'll have to say "lok day hoi fa, fu gwei wing wah" which means when you drop something it breaks into pieces like a flower blossoming bringing wealth and prosperity or "peace for all time" to make sure the year is a lucky one.
