Superstition

I think its really dumb how Chinese people are superstitious. Normally, I'd ignore this stuff. I mean, if a few water grown plants and well placed coins put your mind at ease, then by all means do it! What bothers me is when it causes people to make irrational decisions and when superstition gets in the way of everyday life.

Because in Chinese the number four's pronounciation closely resembles "死" (death), China's Hainan province is taking that number out of their car license plates. All that work in the name of superstition. The obsession with the number eight is also baffling. Mainland Chinese will mindlessly purchase stocks that IPO with a number "8" in the price.

Its madness I tell you (but mostly just stupid).
