The Chinese are Kiasu people. We like to ensure that auspiciousness and happiness surround us the whole year round. That is why even before the Chinese New Year there are some customary practices to be carried out.
Soong Zhao (23rd day of the 12th Chinese lunar month)
This night every household must send off the kitchen deity.
Tie Chun Lien (Chinese New Year Eve)
On this day, auspicious slogans written or printed on red paper, chun lien, are pasted or hung up on walls and doors in order to chase away evil and usher in good luck and blessings for the coming year.
Jie Hong Cai (Chinese New Year Eve)
