Children’s Voices
In a family, children are the center of joy and represent closeness, and future development. At the beginning of the new year, according to Vietnamese customs, we often visit each other to exchange Lunar New Year greetings. When children come to the house, they bring good luck. The laughter and cries of children help purify the family atmosphere, bringing new joy and energy. The vibrant energy in children is very high, so having children come to celebrate the Lunar New Year will bring happiness and prosperity to the family. The sound of children in the first day of the new year will bring new energy and wealth.
Children are considered special guests who bring signs of good luck to the family. Therefore, the more children come to the house to celebrate the Lunar New Year and have fun, the more joyful new energy there is. Children symbolize the future generation, representing prosperity, wealth, and new energy, and new development.
The Sounds of Cooking Utensils in the Kitchen
The New Year is a time when families gather together to eat, take care of each other, and enjoy each other’s company. The everyday sounds in the kitchen are already joyful, but during the Lunar New Year, the sounds in the kitchen not only show the family’s care for each other but also serve as offerings to ancestors. The happy sounds in the kitchen, the sound of plates, pots, and pans, demonstrate that the family is wealthy, prosperous, and caring, and pays attention to ancestral worship.
Doing so demonstrates a happy family that knows how to respect and nurture gratitude to the ancestors. Families like this will definitely prosper.
In the kitchen, happiness radiates. Looking at the Lunar New Year kitchen, you can know whether the family’s lifestyle is traditional or modern, and how they worship.
Worshipping is not about how high the ceremony is but rather expresses the heart and gratitude of the homeowner. A person who is attentive in ancestral worship demonstrates gratitude, and a grateful person will create wealth and love life. Such a family will prosper and develop.
Today, in modern times, you can order food or eat out, but a family that does not eat together, lacks communal meals, a cold kitchen, shows that luck does not converge. According to Feng Shui, the kitchen is where wealth gathers, looking at the kitchen determines whether it is wealthy or poor and how the family’s emotions are. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, whether rich or poor, people still value the kitchen. The elders say that if you want to know if someone is wealthy, look at their kitchen, and if you want to know if someone is poor, look at their living room.
The Laughter and Wishes for Health and Peace
During the Lunar New Year, every family gathers with the most family members and has the most guests. Families who are happy during Lunar New Year and wish each other good health and peace demonstrate a joyful family reunion. Families who are noisy with cheers and drinking demonstrate joy, but they can also fall into a habit of excessive drinking, having a lax attitude.
Families who gather together in the living room, laughing and talking happily, wishing each other good health, wisdom, are families who aim for peaceful happiness and learning and development.
When Tet comes and the family lacks the sound of people, the lack of Lunar New Year wishes, a quiet family indicates declining luck, a lack of people, resources, and energy, a cold and lonely family.
Therefore, in families with these three sounds above during the beginning of the year, they demonstrate prosperity, wealth, and the pursuit of happy, peaceful, and developing lives.
