Do you know why we open for business during Chinese New Year only on even lunar days?

1. For example, we always start work or open for business on 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th or 12th lunar new year?

2. One way of looking at it is the concept of double happiness or "a pair" vs ONE (1) = odd. (Not exactly odd-ball.. but considered as unbalanced).

3. Another way of looking at it is that Chinese burial or nowadays funerals (cremation) are always on an odd day.

3.1. Thus if the deceased died on yesterday (a Monday).

3.2. The funeral is suppose to be on the following Wednesday, Friday, Sunday or Monday, Wednesday and continues to be on Friday or Sunday again.

3.3. Odd days represents Yang. Thus the Yin (dead) is suppose to be buried on their "Yang" day. A belief in the balance of Yin and Yang concept.

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM

No wonder Feng Shui suffers a bad reputation, today.

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui.
But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui.

Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one:

Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why.

Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES!

On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client

P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

[Cecil Lee]

YES, IT IS A FENG SHUI SCAM

Always ask: "Must I buy from you?"
