There are many ghosts in Chinese culture; they have been worshiped by the Chinese for a few thousand years. Even Confucius said, "Respect ghosts and gods, but keeps away from them."While many people believe in ghosts, there are others who don't. The Chinese people often say, "If you believe it, there will be, but if you don't, there will not."The ghost is a classical image in Chinese culture,i.e.the young woman whose face is covered by long black hair, who dies because of misfortune, then comes back for revenge.The word "ghost" for Chinese conjures up similar images. Often the ghost is a beautiful young woman. The sudden switch from a beautiful girl to a frightening ghost is striking. The seemingly fragile, helpless and beautiful women turning into fearless killers is a favorite theme among Asian movie directors and story writers. In the past, the burial of the dead was a matter taken very seriously in Chinese society. Improper funeral arrangements could wreak ill fortune and disaster upon the family of the deceased.To a certain degree, Chinese funeral rites and burial customs were determined by the age of the deceased, the manner of his/her death, his/her status and position in society and his/her marital status.According to Chinese custom, an older person should not show respect to someone younger. Thus, if the deceased was a young bachelor his body could not be brought home but was left at the funeral parlor and the parents could not offer prayers for their son. Since the deceased was unmarried he had no children to perform the rites, which was why the body did not enter the family home. If a baby or child died no funeral rites were performed since respect could not be shown to a younger person. The child was, therefore, buried in silence.Chinese funeral rites for an elderly person must follow the prescribed form and convey the relevant rites that befit the person.
