Here’s the timetable for you to deposit money this Chinese New Year 2017
January 3, 2017
Huat ah.
Chinese New Year is upon us in less than a month’s time on Jan. 28 and 29.
One of the most curious practices of the Chinese during this period is the depositing of money at “auspicious” times on Feb. 3, 2017, according to one’s Chinese Zodiac.
Feb. 3 this year is known as Li Chun, a day on the Chinese calendar that was significant for farmers looking for a bountiful harvest in the past.
And at least one such timetable for depositing money is out:
For example, a person born in the year of the Dragon will prosper the most by dressing in red and depositing money at a deposit machine between 11pm to 11.59pm.
Not sure if you’ll scare anyone in the middle of the night dressed like that at an ATM. But rules are rules.
There are other rules that other people abide by, like how the money deposited must be your salary, bonus, or lottery winnings. Yet others swear that doing Internet Banking transfers are sufficient.
There are other conspiracy theorists who say that this is all a ploy by banks to increase deposits.
Should superstitions be followed? Should we say “sorry” in as many languages as possible when we pee in the wild? Must we take the red string at wakes and discard them afterwards? Are any of these timetables accurate? Which Feng Shui Grandmaster divined these?
Who truly knows? Just follow and do lor.
