People who celebrate Chinese New Year in their zodiac year are said to anger Tai Sui, the God of Age, which might bring ill luck, according to Chinese astrology. As a result, it is thought that when preparing for the festival, you should pay extra attention to guarantee that you bring in good luck and wealth for the year. Everyone, Happy Chinese New Year! The fact that the Chinese New Year is regarded as bad luck is also confirmed by the number of deaths that occur during this period. In fact, the annual rate of death in China increases by about two percent between January and March, when people are usually busy with family celebrations. Also worth mentioning is that renting a house or an apartment during this time isn't recommended because it is believed that if someone else has rented the place before you, then you will not be able to find a suitable place at a reasonable price. This is especially true if they were not happy with their rental. Finally, it is recommended to avoid making big purchases (such as buying a car) if you have the Chinese New Year on board. At least one more person should make the decision together with you, so if your friend/relative tells you that they want to buy something then take them seriously. In conclusion, the Chinese New Year is seen as bad luck because it brings about many deaths each year.
