The aim here is to free your home from any bad luck that’s accumulated over the past year. DON’Ts： 1.Wash or cut your hair Leave your hair as it is on the first day of the New Year. The Chinese character for hair is the same first character in the word for prosperity(发达).This means washing or cutting it off is seen as washing your fortune away. 2.Clean post-New Year Cleaning of any kind on the first day is strictly forbidden（禁止）.
