Dos and Donts of Chinese New Year
Do's:
Wish everyone you meet a happy New Year by saying "gong xi fa cai", which translates to: "Have a happy and prosperous New Year!" 對每一個你遇到的人道一聲：“恭喜發財”，翻譯成英文就是：“在新的一年裡擁有幸福繁榮的生活”;
Wear articles of red clothing because red symbolizes luck. 穿紅色布料做成的飾品，因為紅色昭示著幸運;
Eat vegetarian food because it's not good to see blood. 吃素食，因為見血是不吉利的;
Buy new trousers because the Chinese word for trousers is "fu", (Chinese homonym for wealth) 買新褲子(衣服)，因為漢語裡褲子就是“服”，(在漢語裡與財富的“富”諧音);
Children should stay up as late as possible on New Year's Eve for it is believed that the later they stay up, the longer their parents will live. 孩子應該在除夕之夜儘可能晚睡、熬夜因為據說他們睡的越晚，他們的`父母越長壽;
Visit family (especially those older than yourself) and friends to pass on your wishes on good fortune for the New Year. (plus kids and single people will receive lai-see lucky red packets full of money. 拜訪親戚朋友(尤其是比你年長的)，傳遞你對他們來年幸福的美好祝願(另外孩子和單身的人將會得到裝滿錢的幸運紅包，稱為“來喜”。)
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. 給每個孩子兩份“來喜”(我覺得應該指錢是偶數的)，因為好事成雙，不要只給一份。這是你把祝願傳遞給下一代的方法。企業主(老闆)也要給員工和同事紅 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裝，因為這是傳統意義上喪事的顏色;
Don't buy new shoes for the first month of the New Year, because the sound of shoe in Chinese is "hai". "Hai" is similar to the sound of sighing, which Chinese believe is not a good way to start the year. 不要在新年的第一個月買新鞋，因為在漢語裡鞋的發音是“孩”(好像是四川地區的發音)，它與嘆息”唉“相近，中國人認為這不是新年伊始的好兆頭。
