Which Direction Should the Car Face During the Worship Ceremony?
2 Answers
During the car worship ceremony, the car's front should generally face east or south, but it must not face the direction of closing the car door. Here is some relevant information: 1. Tying red ribbons: Red has always been a favorite color among Chinese people, symbolizing joy and celebration. Therefore, many car owners tie red cloth strips to the side mirrors, wheel hubs, or even the tow hook after purchasing a new car. This not only signifies a prosperous future but also looks visually appealing as the red cloth flutters in the wind while driving. 2. Sticking a lizard emblem: Applying a lizard sticker to the car has become a common ritual when buying a new car. Some 4S shops even provide various lizard stickers for free to new car owners. Many people wonder why a lizard is used. Some say it's because the word for lizard in Chinese sounds like 'protection' or 'avoiding misfortune,' while others believe it brings good fortune.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I deeply understand that the direction you park your car isn't just a random choice. Safety comes first! Parking with the front facing out is basic common sense, especially in parking lots or garages. In emergencies like earthquakes or fires, you can drive straight out to escape without wasting time reversing. I've seen many drivers park nose-in for convenience, only to get trapped later—big trouble. Additionally, after a late night at work or when fatigued, pulling straight out is less strenuous and avoids accidents caused by blind spots. Personally, I recommend making it a habit to check parking space direction before stopping—this is especially important for new drivers to minimize mistakes. Safe driving starts with the details; don't underestimate this issue.
