Lesson Transcript

清明
我屋企對清明節有著非常非常非一般的濃厚情結。除了因為我屋企傳統對於風水的信奉之外，還因為清明節是一個我們舉家出遊，爬山打獵的好日子。
有句古話是這樣講的——清明時節雨紛紛，路上行人欲斷魂。每年清明都一定會落雨，但都不是大雨，而是綿綿小雨，可能爲了方便我們拜山的時候鬆鬆泥土。
講到拜山，一定要講，拜山有幾大禁忌——第一，踩別人墳頭。牆頭是放置香燭祭品的地方，用腳踩踏，即是踩踏別人地頭，就算無心，都當你不尊敬。第二，望住相亂說話。可能你只是出於同情心，講一句——唉，陰功，咁後生就死咗。講了你就弊。崩口碗忌崩口鬼，已經天妒英才，你仲要講，攞景啊。第三，別人墳地亂擺東西。唔係家家都有大墳地，所以當你要借人墓地擺東西，記得講聲“唔該”，最好裝柱香，等人關照下你祖先。第四，著黑衫黑褲拜山。黑色最招靈魂，霉氣易埋身。最好著黃色、紅色等鮮豔顏色，鬼見到你都避開你。第五，拜完山即刻回家。時運低嘅人容易招鬼魂，所以拜山之後回家就是引鬼入屋，最好去酒樓食肆食個飯，因為鬼魂怕嘈。
這五項傳說中都會招致鬼魂的不滿，令你接下來一年甚至好幾年不得安寧。所以我從小到大都對鬼神有敬畏之心。
