Dear Anon,

Red is considered an auspicious colour. For example, Chinese wedding invitation cards are in red (usually with a Phoenix and Dragon Graphic/design on the cover).

During the Chinese New Year, it is common to find a red cloth banner with auspicious words hung over the main entrance door.

Other examples of the use of red include: red fire crackers used during Chinese New Year. Many years back when fire crackers were not banned in Singapore, you will find houses literally littered with the exploded red fire cracker paper all over the compound.

In addition, it is common to have the Double Happiness symbol (in red) hung in the house.

The "Fu" word with red background is usually hung upsidedown in some homes. Some households do tie a red string on their plants especially if they are on both sides of the house.

Therefore, it seems to reason why a red cloth is tied to the two lions for `luck' + auspicious.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
