[myfs_92708]

Hi There,
Anyone has any information pertaining good days to start work in CNY 2013? I found some generic ones but none based on animal signs. Would appreciate any inputs.
Thank you all and Happy CNY!

This is the link to a past article on when to start work during Chinese New Year.
In general, it is a custom to start work or the 1st day to start work or open for business is on any EVEN days under the Chinese Lunar calendar between 1st day of the 1st lunar month onwards.
Thus, it is very common to "Open for business" on the 2nd, 6th and 8th lunar day of the first lunar month.
One might ask: 2nd day is too early to start work. In modern times, what I often do is, to stop work on the eve of Chinese New Year and on the morning of 2nd day of Chinese New Year; I would turn on myPC; logon to this forum and reply or post a message.
Alternatively, one may go intoone's business, and physically do somework on that day.
Note: I have skipped the 4th day of Chinese New Year given that many Cantonesedon't like 4 as it sounds like die. And this probably has spilled over to other Chinese dialect group- who to play safe, don't like opening for business during these hours.
Thus it is best toopen for business on 2nd, 6th = "sounds like LUCK" in Hokien" and 8th sounds like prosperity.
Fankly time is not necessary. But if one wants to can or may consider 0818HRS, 0838HRS, 0938HRS or 1118HRS to start work.

1. Chinese New Year starts early this year;

2. This year's Chinese New Year starts on Monday 23 January 2012.

3. As mentioned in the earlier posting of 1/15/2011, below; it is a tradition especially by the majority of Singapore Chinese who are Hokiens to start operations on an auspicious day on Chinese New Year itself.

4. I have mentioned that for the opposite: for the dead, burial is always done on ODD days e.g. 1st day, 3rd day, 5th day, 7th day etc... immediately after death.

5. However, for business opening; it is always considered auspicious to start operations on EVEN number of days.

5.1. Thus for 2012, the first day of Chinese New Year is Monday 23 January 2012; business should or can or may open on even days e.g. the 2nd day: 24th, the 4th day: 26th, the 6th day: 28th, the 8th day = 30th of January etc...

5.2. In addition, the Hokien dialect group (a significant number of Chinese in Singapore are Hokiens (Fujian); love the sound of "6th". As it sounds like "luck".

5.3. In this attached, photo, this very famous and popular wanton noodle stall in a food centre at Telok Blangah states that they start work on 28th January 2012. Which is the 6th lunar day of the Chinese New Year 2012!

5.4. For some business, who can afford to operate or open for business at an extended date could instead operate on Monday 30th January 2012 or the lucky 8th lunar day. 8th is also a very popular and auspicious sounding term for many Chinese dialect groups: 8 in mandarin sounds like prosper for the Cantonese as well as the Hokkiens and Teochews...

6. For example, for Geomancy.net, as we have an international website, our website operations will start on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year which is on Tuesday 24th January 2012. While our phsycial business starts on the 6th lunar day of 2012 similar to this hawker stall.

7. In China, it is usual for many business especially factories to stop work as early as this hawker stall to allow their staff time to return back to their province and home county which can by bus or train be as long as 1 or 2 day's journey depending on which city they work and live.

Further to what I had mentioned, what I had mentioned below is the most common and the easiest method to follow.
It has to do with two concepts:
1.YIN and YANG and also
2. Even numbers meansa pair and sounds more auspicious than oddnumbers.
1. YINand YANG concept:
If one often notice Chinese burials or cremation; it is always done on odd days. Thusa person is buried / crematedoften either on the 3rd, 7th, 9th, 11th, 15th dayexactly after death.
Here, it is not about looking at thedead's person animal sign orimmediate family's (so many) signs.
2. Even number sounds more auspicious
Thus, since Para 1 says that burial is on 3, 7, 9 etc... on the contrary, open for business is exactly opposite of such a sad occasion.
And in addition, even daysfor openingsounds more auspicious. Futhermore, in the past, many small business could afford to close longer.
And for many Chinese businessman who are Hokien or haveHokien influence like the number 6. Which when pronounced sounds like LUCK.
And many Chinese can associate 8 with"FA" = prosper.
The above method, thus is robust and simple to understand. And can easily be applied for 2013 or evenin the year 2053etc...
Contrast this withtrying to apply an animal sign. Manymodern business are nowadays no longer self employed. Many even have several partners. Some even have several branches. So whose animal sign one should apply? Thus, although this method MAY beused, it is equally troublesome to check out each year as well asfor whom (birth-date)do we use?

Chinese New Year (CNY) andAuspicious Day to Start Work: 2nd, 6th or 8th day
When do we open for business during CNY?
In this sms, a client asks " In the first 15 days of Chinese New Year... can you choose a good date for me & partner.
Unless one is getting married etc... then may consider choosing an auspicious date. But generally for Chinese New Year and which day to first open for business; should apply it in a global context. Thus, if one reads the past threads; one should try to open for business on "even days". And avoid "odd " days....
