Taboo about the undead crossing the bridge

People who have to "cross the bridge" generally don't buy raw fruits to eat on this day, especially fasting watermelons. On the fifth night, all the families closed their doors and were afraid to go shopping for fear of being caught by ghosts to "pick watermelons". Some people died on this day, and their families thought it was an "unfortunate death".

The Dead Crossing the Bridge contains the ethical concept of filial piety of the son of man, so it is accepted by people. This custom is still very popular among Chaoshan people.
