How it's used
This is a traditional auspicious phrase specifically reserved for business contexts, often used during grand openings or Lunar New Year greetings. It carries a formal and slightly old-fashioned tone that implies a wish for continuous, steady growth rather than a sudden spike in luck. You will mostly hear it from older generations or in traditional shop settings.
Examples
I wish your business luck all year round and may customers flock to you.
Opening the business this year is a great start, I hope it stays prosperous all year.
