    Yes, they are deeply involved culturally with their forefathers and the spirits of the dead. They frown upon disrespecting the dead / spirits or even depicting it in certain ways.
    It is not just unlucky but in some ways the rule of law.
    You must remember, the Chinese is very much a culture based, and built, on hundreds of years of History.

    In fact, something interesting - in death they don't consider people to die (like we do), they are separated from the living, i.e. a 'ghost' / spirit.
    What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
