There are some Chinese who would buy at least a new pair of pants, jeans or trousers before or during the first fifteen days of the Chinese New Year. This is very auspicious as it symbolises buying prosperity for the new year. Why is this so? Well, the Chinese word for this particular piece of garment is called "fu" (裤) which sounds like prosperity "fu" (富) in Chinese.
