Wear an obsidian hulu bracelet to safeguard against bad spirits.
9. Avoid spitting and blowing your nose in the street or at any tree/plant.
10. Do not leave open wounds unattended as this will attract ghosts in following you home. Keep them plastered at all times.
11. Do not make negative comments or crack jokes about offering items in the streets or poke fun about Chinese opera seen with empty chairs of Chinese communities. Those chairs are for the ghosts.
