FollowLi Chun, which signifies the beginning of Spring, is the first day of the Chinese solar calendar. Li Chun is considered an auspicious day for the Chinese. Li Chun falls on the 4th of February this year. In Asia, it has become a tradition to deposit money into your bank account during this day to garner good wealth and fortune for the new year.
People also try their luck to see if they can make eggs “stand up” on this day. If they succeed, he or she is believed to have good luck throughout the year.
We tried making eggs “stand” today and my egg “stood” in less than 5 minutes of trying! The second egg “stood” effortlessly too! Cass tried and made about 4 or 5 eggs “stand”. Sherilyn made one egg “stand” ?
After making our eggs “stand”, I went to the bank to deposit money, just for the fun of it. If my luck is good this year, I can then safely tell everyone that this traditional practice is somewhat bona fide. So wait for my follow-up post in a year’s time, yeah.

Wow, you and your daughters have very steady hands and good focus to make those eggs stand.
Hi Alvin
It was surprisingly easy this year. We couldn’t make any egg stand last year 😀
