不可以用紅筆寫人的名字
Don’t use red pen to write the people’s name1
Why We CAN’T:
The color red represents blood. Writing
another person's name with a red pen may
suggest that the person will get into a
serious accident.

5. 不可以把筷子插在飯中央
Don’t stick chopsticks2 upright into a bowl of rice
DON’T
WHY
This would resemble INCENSE STICKS that are placed into food that is left for
spirits. This is done at a funeral or during Ghost Month. In other words, a person
who did this would be worshipping the people who made the food as if they
were dead.

6. Keep away for saying “Four” in Chinese3
不可以說四
-不吉利-
The word four in Chinese sounds a lot like the word for death.
Some people actually take this even further. In fact, most
hospitals and hotels don't have a fourth floor.

7. Don’t whistle at night4
If you whistle at night, you may get the ghosts to find you easily.
And they will be your partners.
