In ancient China, calculations whether done in retail stores or home, the abacus is used as the trusted calculator by people. Known as Suan Pan (算盤) or Qiu Pan (球盤), it was conceptualized during the Ming dynasty.
As the abacus is a tool meant for the accounting of money, it is not surprising that this is one of the most favourite feng shui symbol adored for wealth luck and accountability.
And because it was mostly used in shops and business premises in the past, it is often resonated to the success luck of businesses and sales.
Superstitious shopkeepers and sales persons are known to be meticulously careful with the handling of this auspicious instrument. In the past, no patrons will ever be allowed to touch the owner's abacus. Otherwise, it would be brought to the temple to be “cleansed”. Every morning, it was standard protocol to give this object a gentle cleaning using wealth or sometimes religious holy water. Part of the reason for this practice is to "wash" away mistakes or malpractices made the day before from the abacus.
And on each day, there is a conscious avoidance to start using the calculator in the morning.
This is because it was believed that anyone attempting to kickstart the abacus in the morning, especially before breakfast, have unscrupulous intentions.
In addition, many shop owners will only start using it on an auspicious hour of the day by referencing the Almanac (tong shu).To increase it’s wealth energy, Chinese coins are often pasted on them or hang with them if it is used as a portable lucky charm.
When shaken vigorously, it is believed that evil would be driven away. This shaking is often done when a shop is opened and closed for the day.
