[quote=RITA,224175]1, If you plan to bring a gift to a aged Chinese, try to avoid clock, because "Song Zhong --->Song=give or present, Zhong - clock" means burying a died relative. Zhong in Chinese sometimes reminds the eventual moment of people.2, On lunar New Year's eve, the dinner will definitely include fish, even the whole family do not like fish at all; but on the contrary, even all the family members like fish very much, they should not eat it up. So, if you happen to attend such kind of dinner in a Chinese family, do not try to please the hostess and clean the fish plate :)3, Married women are deemed to be ominous to appear in other peoples' house for the whole day on Lunar New Year's eve. I am quite confused about this one :)4, We are not allowed by parents or grandparents to do haircut until the fifth of the first lunar month, and doing the haircut on the 2nd day of second month is greatly encouraged, because on that day, dragon raise his head.:)5, The needlework for the whole first lunar month is prohibited.6, Never say "die" in new year's monthAbove are what I can think of now and some of them I experienced :) , they are interesting, aren't they?Anything else?[/quote]
