Superstitious Things

Actually, this is my speaking material in my English Course. I just want to share it to you to add your knowledge about superstitious things.



Do you know superstitious? It is an adjective that come from word superstition.  It is the belief  that particular events  bring good or bad luck. And I will give you some example of it.
The  number of 4
Chinese people believe that number of 4 will bring bad luck for us. Because in Chinese , number of 4 pronounced “Si” and it has the other meaning with die. According to metaphysician , the bad spirit likes number 4. Many building and places change the forth stairs become 3B. So it's not strange if we see number 3B on the button of the lift. In the other hand, many building and places don't believe that superstition. They still write number 4 on the lift button. Sometimes, the workers that work in forth stairs usually listen the strange sound and see the strange shadow.

2.      The attitude in Cemetery
I think many people have ever visited cemetery to pray to their Ancestor. But do you know?  There are some attitude to visit cemetery.  One of them, we can’t say the dirty word an spit during in cemetery. Because our mouth can be painful if we say the dirty word and spit in Cemetery. According to metaphysician , there are many negative spirit that live in cemetery. So we have to keep our attitude during in cemetery.
3.      Eat the food cleanly
Many people say we have to eat the food cleanly. Because it will bring good luck for us. We will get handsome or beautiful relation. But if we eat the food uncleanly, it will bring the bad luck for us.
4.      House  direction leads to the East
According to Feng Shui expert, we should have house direction leads to the East. Because they say that we will get good luck if we have the house direction in the East. But we still don’t know the truth of the statement.
5.      Give AngPao to children
In Chinese tradition, they believe that if the adult give angpao to children, the children will get good luck and protected from negative spirit. And for adult, they will be more successful  in business or their work.

We still don't know those are true or false. Just depend on our belief.
