Taboos and Taboos 13 In the Pearl River Delta region, people pay great attention to taboos in their daily lives. "Taboo" means not saying unlucky words, so there is a saying that "one is good and one is ugly". In the custom of "taboo", it is especially taboo to say the number "thirteen".
The origin of custom began in Sanshui County. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a student named Yang Gong who had thirteen sons. Everyone says that his life is good. Yang Gong is also proud of it. He often says to people, "I have thirteen sons. Even if I encounter three disasters and six difficulties, I am not afraid. Twelve months a year, even if I die one month, I still have a son to die. " It happened that there was a plague that year, and Yang Gong's sons died one after another, leaving him alone in the end, and the evening scene was bleak. People say that everything that happened to Yang Gong was because of his ugly words. From then on, people will avoid saying bad things, and once they say them, they will spit out good things. At the same time, the number "thirteen" is also considered unlucky.
Times have changed, and now homophones are used as unlucky numbers, such as "two" for "Yi", "three" for "Life", "four" for "Death", "five" for "Good" (No) and "Eight" for "Fa" in Cantonese, and so on, and so on. However, taboo customs are still popular. In the rural areas around Baini Town, Sanshui County, the thirteenth month of the lunar calendar is still called "Yang Gongbi". On this day, be very careful what you say, and never say anything ugly.
