When to open for business or start work in the year 2021?

13th February = 2nd Lunar Day
15th February = 4th Lunar Day ++
17th February = 6th Lunar Day
19th Februrary = 8th Lunar Day **
21st February = 10th Lunar Day
23rd February = 12th Lunar Day
25th February = 14th Lunar Day

++ Note: Some Chinese especially the Cantonese dialect group may simply skip any number with a 4 in it.

** If a company can afford to close longer. Many would opt for 6th Lunar or 8th Lunar Day! Else 10th, 12th & 14th is simply utopian and just a dream. LOL

Most businesses usually with at least 10 or more staff usually go for dates that are based on above easy to understand and apply type of Chinese traditions passed down from generations.

But if one is a sole proprietor or own boss... then alternatively may want personalised auspicious dates for either themselves or for two persons:-

or simply type:

More importantly personalised dates are more relevant for these events, than start of work during Chinese New Year.

Business as usual on 13th February 2021 onwards.

Do you know why we open for business during Chinese New Year only on even lunar days?

1. For example, we always start work or open for business on 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th or 12th lunar new year?

2. One way of looking at it is the concept of double happiness or "a pair" vs ONE (1) = odd. (Not exactly odd-ball.. but considered as unbalanced).

3. Another way of looking at it is that Chinese burial or nowadays funerals (cremation) are always on an odd day.

3.1. Thus if the deceased died on yesterday (a Monday).

3.2. The funeral is suppose to be on the following Wednesday, Friday, Sunday or Monday, Wednesday and continues to be on Friday or Sunday again.

3.3. Odd days represents Yang. Thus the Yin (dead) is suppose to be buried on their "Yang" day. A belief in the balance of Yin and Yang concept.
