scientific reasoning

Never give a clock or watch as a gift because it evokes attending or marking someone’s end/funeral
Seek the number 8 because it sounds like prosperity or wealth; 9 is also favoured for “lasting/everlasting” connotations
Apologise before urinating in the wild so you do not offend spirits living there
In the forest, offer salt or pepper to unseen spirits without looking up if you want good luck or windfall
Put chilli and onion under a tree to “ask” the rain to stop for outdoor events
After attending a funeral, people should not go straight home and should wash or sprinkle water to avoid bringing spirits back
Pregnant women should avoid funerals to protect the unborn child from negative energy or spirits
White, black, and blue are avoided in wedding gifts and attire because they are funeral colours
Red packets should contain auspicious amounts and avoid the number 4 in the total
Do not give shoes as gifts because it sounds like sending someone away or inviting them to walk out of your life
