common Chinese superstition

image text translation

(1)Chinese people put a lot of lizard stickers or decorations on the back of their carsThis lizard shape is originally a symbol of Audi’s Quattro. It means that it sticks on all fours and does not come off easily. It is a signature that Audi put forward to promote the strength of four-wheel drive
(2)However, Chinese people add a different interpretation: “When you write a lizard in Chinese characters, it is thick 壁虎.” The thick pronunciation is similar to the 避禍 of avoiding anger and 庇, which means protecting. So, it is easy to see lizard stickers on ordinary vehicles in China
(3)In China, there are many car cultures associated with superstitions In foreign countries, there is a racing culture such as car race, road race, and racing, but there is no such culture in China Rather, the Chinese prefer to be related to superstition I can’t count the number of people who buy a new car and hang the beads on the gear stick, detonate firecrackers, hold a memorial service, attach a red ribbon to a new car, etc. But the most special thing is that there is also a car god 廟 that originated from the folk religion Chinese people always visit this shrine on holidays or holidays to pray

In China, there are a lot of superstitions about words that have similar pronunciation
