TABOOS ON THE FIRST WORKING DAY OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR For many businesses, the first working day of the Lunar New Year means the hope for prosperity and success. However, traditionally, certain taboos should be avoided on this day to ensure good luck and fortune. One of the most common taboos is connected with cleanliness and hygiene. [I] It is believed that sweeping the trash out of the store or office on the first day of opening can bring bad luck and push away a fortune for the entire year. [II] Instead, it is advised to clean up the trash and dust, bag the rubbish, and leave it inside the office on the first day. [III] This practice is believed to keep the store clean and attract positive energy and prosperity. [IV] Another taboo to be mindful of is the use of tools or gadgets. Breaking tools and equipment on the first working day is considered unlucky and may lead to unfortunate incidents. Therefore, business owners and employees should be careful when using them to avoid any accidents or mishaps. When it comes to selling products, business owners or shopkeepers should be mindful of their actions and gestures. Turning their back to the entrance while selling products is seen as a symbol of turning away from good fortune and potential customers. To avoid this taboo, business owners should maintain an open and welcoming posture, facing toward the entrance of the store to invite prosperity and abundance. Additionally, it is imperative to avoid returning goods on the opening day. This principle ensures smooth and successful transactions throughout the year. By keeping this taboo in mind, customers can show their respect for the local customs and traditions in the Lunar New Year.
