Changing of House to Period 8 - Lion Dance

[unknown]

Hi

As feng shuied, we would be goodif our house (East 2/3 of period 7) can be changed to that of Period 8.Hence,we intend to invite the lion dance troupe to our house during the CNY period (i.e. from 9 Feb to 23 Feb 2005) hoping to change it to Period 8.

Is there any date and time which is considered auspicious for the lion to enter our house? Do you have any recommendations for lion dance troupe?

Dear Anon,

Please refer to my previous posting on the same subject of lion dance.

In the past, the traditional lion dance was performed on the last day of lunar celebrations i.e. 15 Lunar day i.e. since CNY officially starts on 8 February 2005 this year; then 22 February 2005 is suppose to be the last day and lion dance performance.

However, in modern times, and for practical purposes in my opinion, it is particularly good or meaningful to usher in the lunar new year especially on or before the 15th day of celebrations. This is to allow for the troupe to be able to perform at your home.

If one lives in a landed property, the challenge is to hang a lettuce vegetable with the hong bao in it and place it high e.g. hang out of the balcony. The challenge is to get the lion to climb up and devour the lettuce and ang bao (hong bao). *Joke* but of course for such a stunt, one cannot expect to place a $50 red packet as this considered too little!

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
