What is the meaning of Xuất Hành đầu năm?
Xuất hành means leaving the house, going out of your village or community, regardless of where you are going or what you are doing. According to folk beliefs, the timing and direction of xuất hành at the beginning of the year, if it matches your age or the destiny of yourself and your family, will bring luck in work, wealth, or love throughout the year.
For example, you and your family will leave the house to visit, give New Year’s wishes, and present gifts to relatives, friends, or go to the pagoda… and finally return to your own house.
Before going on the trip, you need to research the direction and auspicious timing for xuất hành, which is suitable for your destiny, and cannot be done in a hasty and casual manner.
This plays an important role in making xuất hành more effective. Choosing the right direction will bring convenience, luck, and peace to yourself, your family, and your friends.
