It's more auspicious to buy a few bowls in the New Year. What's the point of buying bowls in the New Year?

1. It's good to buy six bowls and eight plates for the Chinese New Year. According to geomantic theory, six bowls represent a good harvest in the coming year, good weather, and a wide range of wealth, representing the consciousness of gathering wealth. Eight plates represent a bumper harvest of grains, and all directions welcome good luck. These are auspicious words for the Chinese New Year, which means that everything is going well in the coming year, and everything is in good health and good luck.

2. Old people pay special attention to this point. When buying bowls and chopsticks, they pay attention to buying even numbers, at least two bowls or two pairs of chopsticks. The singular number means being alone, which means being lonely in it. This is unlucky. People in China are very particular about yes man, so they have to buy two bowls.
