Everyday Life
Will sleeping late on the first day of Lunar New Year affect your whole year's fortune?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Sleeping a little late on the first day will not go so far as to spoil your fortune for the whole year. If you can rise early, I still recommend it to make a good start. But people have different routines, and one late morning does not need to be taken so seriously.
Rising early on the first and second days is a custom parents and elders tend to value. Some younger people do not share this view and do not feel they must be unlucky afterward if they sleep late. In my understanding of energy, customs have an external influence, while your own thoughts also affect how you feel.
So understand the intention behind the custom and accommodate it when you can. If you happen to get up late, do not keep dwelling on it and deciding the whole year cannot go well. You can learn about customs while taking a more relaxed view of daily life.
