Papaya
It would be a big omission not to mention papaya in the list of fruits to be placed on the altar on the full moon day of the first month of 2024. The reason for this is that papaya is a symbol of abundance and fulfillment, so many people buy this fruit to put on the fruit tray with the desire to be prosperous and wealthy in everything throughout the year. Whether it is career, wealth, or love, everything will be more radiant than others.
Grapes
In feng shui, grapes are a type of fruit symbolizing the blooming of wealth, fame, and bringing success. In particular, many people consider grapes as a “tool” to help homeowners transform bad luck into good luck, drive away misfortune, and bring more luck… So, to have a joyful new year 2024, you can put this fruit on the fruit tray for the full moon day of the first month.
Dragon Fruit
With vibrant and prominent colors, dragon fruit is regarded by many as one of the lucky fruits. Moreover, the name of dragon fruit also means “dragon” in Chinese, so it is suitable to be placed on the altar on the full moon day of the first month this year. The fruit tray with dragon fruit is a wish for a new year full of smooth sailing, success, and prosperity like a dragon meeting clouds.
Red Apple
Not everyone knows that red apple is one of the fruits that symbolize peace and luck in Eastern culture. In addition, the name “apple” in Chinese is homonymous with the word “peace,” so people often put this fruit on the fruit tray offered to ancestors and deities to wish for a smooth and favorable year in everything.
Especially, in Greek culture, apples also carry the meaning of longing for a new year of eternity and togetherness.
Mango
When ripe, mangoes turn yellow and symbolize the Metal element as well as represent money and assets. Besides, people in the South often pronounce “mango” as “xài” (spend), so they believe that offering mangoes during the new year will bring abundant money, flowing in and out effortlessly, and not worry about daily expenses. Therefore, along with other fruits like pomegranates, coconuts, oranges, and papayas, mangoes are the fruit that is often bought and put on the fruit tray for the full moon day of the first month.
In addition to these fruits, you can also add other fruits such as pomegranates, pears, pomegranates, grapefruits, oranges, lychees, and kumquats to the altar.
Notes when choosing fruits for the full moon day of the first month
– It is recommended to choose fruits that look fresh, shiny, and not crushed.
– Do not place fake fruits or fruits with strong odors or spikes such as jackfruit or durian on the altar.
– Avoid choosing ripe fruits as they may rot or spoil during the offering. In feng shui, this is a taboo as it is not good for the financial fortune of the homeowner.
– Before placing the fruits on the altar, you should use dry paper or a soft cloth to clean the fruits to avoid them from rotting or spoiling.
