Staff Cecil Lee Posted December 13, 1999 Staff Share Posted December 13, 1999 Dear Anon, Yes, Chinese people believe that it is bad luck to sweep the floor on the 1st day of the lunar new year. As for saying anything bad, there is also an element of truth in this. The rationale is because, one tries to start the first day of Chinese new year `a-fresh'. In fact, Chinese New Year is considered as 15 days i.e. there are 15 days of the Chinese New Year.
