Posted January 22, 20178 yr Staff Modern Myth: Should I rush to the bank on Li Chun - 3 February 2017 to deposit money? I was wondering .. I could not recall why my grandparents or my parents never does this annual ritual... hmmm.. Should I cave-in and do so from now onwards? Since this is the first day of spring or Li Chun... In the past Li Chun starts the first day of planting season ... important in an agricultural society... perhaps more meaningful then. But today, in a carnivorous society... the ones that temporarily benefit from this are the banks and the advertisers of this scheme fuelled by the gullible media.. something to write about... Today, it reminds me more of commercial holidays like Christmas where scholars have determined that Jesus's real birthday is not on the 25th Dec = more of a symbolic date. Or perhaps Valentine's Day... hmmm
