Do not give clocks as gifts because “giving a clock” sounds like attending a funeral in Chinese
Do not whistle, sing loudly, or stay out too late at night during Hungry Ghost month or spirits will follow you
Do not pick up random objects or money from the street during Hungry Ghost month or you may bring a ghost home
Breaking a mirror means seven years of bad luck
