So people are very sensitive to these, and many people are still very taboo. Traditionally, it is considered unlucky to be homophonic with death. Their interpretation of the word "Li" is also taboo. Koreans also have a surname of Lee, but when explaining the writing of the word Lee, you should never interpret it as "eighteen sons" Lee, because in Korean, the pronunciation of "eighteen sons" is similar to an obscene word, which sounds disgusting, especially for men in front of women, so don't say such things, otherwise it will be considered as intentional insult. They are afraid of someone blowing their nose, spitting, pulling their ears or untidy clothes in front of them. Think these are impolite manners.
