Some taboos
I just want to share some information about some taboos which most elder people here believe in. There is not any evidence to prove that those taboos are true or worth to follow.
1. If something bad happens on the first day of the lunar month, you will meet a lot of bad things in all days of that month. For example, if you lost some money on the first day of the month, you will lost more through the month. Or if it is rain on the first day, then it will rain all days of the month.
2. You will get bad luck if you step out side with your left leg or you meet a lady
3. If a dog comes to your house, you will get good luck. However, if it is a chicken, you will get bad luck.
4. If you look yourself in a mirror at night, something bad may happen.For instance, you may see a ghost.
5. If you go to somewhere near grave yard at noon ( around 12:00 ), you will easy to see a ghost
6. Around 100 days after some one's death, her/his spirit has not really gone. It turns into a firefly, a butterfly or a snake getting into his/her house.
And so on.
Young people usually don't believe in that stuff but sometimes they still agree to do or appear to agree with it. Because the elder people will easy get angry and scold the young people. Of course, that will not good for the elder people's health and not good for family relationships.
