LC 4: Kaohsiung Jhengsing Junior High School, Question:

There are some taboos in our culture. For example, we are not allowed to insert chopsticks vertically into the food. Please see the photo.

http://goo.gl/10aI3 

We have a tradition of ancestor worship. The food on the photo is sacrificial offerings for ancestors. You can see that incense sticks are placed vertically into the sacrifices. So, if we put chopsticks like that, it implies the food is for dead people. That is a curse on the person who will eat the food. It is very unlucky. Besides, we don’t write names in red. Chinese people like red color, which means good luck and good fortune. In Chinese New Year, we like to wear red clothes, put red couplets on doors, and give red envelops to children. However, red also means blood and accidents. If you write a person’s name in red, it will bring misfortune or deadly accidents to him/her. Maybe it is a superstition, but it shows how we view the death.

1. Do you have any taboos or superstition in your culture? What are they? What do they mean? Please show examples.

2. How do you feel about these taboos or superstition?
