Guardian,
2021-8-30:
Covid
in Taiwan's Ghost month
theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/30/not-open-for-humans-covid-changes-east-asias-ghost-month-but-free-spirits-remain
Some suspicions are still common among younger generations. A recent
survey of Taiwan office workers found a third of
respondents avoid working overtime during Ghost Month. The poll found 40% of
office workers had reported strange encounters in the late hours. More than 70%
reported “eerie sounds” from office corners, while others said they heard
footsteps, saw windows open on their own and elevators arrive on their floor
without being called, or heard toilets flushing in an empty bathroom
★ BBC, 2-10-2021, "Why Taiwan has 'luck-improvement services' ": There’s a pervasive idea running through Chinese culture that things aren’t random, Stevan Harrell, emeritus anthropology professor at the University of Washington said, “There’s a belief in order: there’s some sort of order behind everything.” Many people believed in a simple maxim: “tian zhuding” (“heaven decides”). Some higher power has plans for each person on Earth, traditional Chinese belief also holds that “heaven never seals off all the exits” – there is always a way out. “We call [this attitude of openness] ‘youbai youbaoyou’,” (有拜有保庇)“, It doesn’t matter if you believe in gods. If you pray, you’ll be blessed.” So, even the upscale Eslite Bookstore has a cosmological self-help section chock full of do-it-yourself fate-improvement guides. People in the Chinese-speaking world seem particularly preoccupied with luck, from boarding gates to high-stakes baccarat tables and school exams to political races, (Even politicians are compelled to publicly try their luck, visiting temples to draw fortune sticks ...) . brief http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20210210-chinas-enduring-obsession-with-luck
