Digital Story Telling Project Part 2

Here are the list of the possibilites of traditions to be documented:

1. If you wanted to pee in the rural area, you have to say 'excuse me' before peeing. As if you are asking permission to the spirit that dwells in the area. And do not do it at night, in case you pee on them.

2. The food offerings for random spirits (not the one that is for your ancestors), you must not eat them. If you want to eat it, you have to ask permission. Because if not, the spirits will thinkthat you are snatching away their food.

3. When you are out at night, make your friends called you with your nickname. In case the ghost remember your full name, since if they called it out and you answered them, the spirits will come and get you.

4. Do not take pictures at night for if you accidentally shoot a spirit/s in the photo, it would mean that you are taking the spirit home.

5. And do not sleep on a double bed size alone and on one side. Because in case you turn around, there might be somebody sleeping beside you.


These 5 are the possibilities for an example of what you can do and what you cannot do in Chinese Traditions. As for the documentary itself, we might only choose 3 out of 5 depending on the time it took. Currently, the chosen ones are 1,2,and3 or 5.
