[quote=DAVIDLU,488389]Cai Qing 采青--Picking the Greens (copy) Cai Qing, also known as Picking the Greens, is a tradition in Guangzhou especially during the Lunar New Year. Shops and stores usually open to business on the second day of the Lunar New Year. During that day, owners of the shop will tie a red envelope filled with money to a head of lettuce and hang it high above the front door. "Lions" dance in front of the door to catch the lettuces and the lucky package. Cai Qing supposedly brings good luck and fortune to the business and the dancers receive the money in the envelop as payment. [/quote]
