and death wrongs.
Spotted: Half opened offerings to the ancestors
Explanation: If the dead ancestors want to eat, they can use their "super powers" to get to the food. The flies (or imaginary flies) will eat up all the offerings otherwise.
Spotted: Burning joss paper offerings in little stacks of 5 pieces or so
Explanation: The living folk needs a free face toast from the stash of burning joss papers. And the dead ancestor cannot pick up the burnt offerings fast enough if one burns too many pieces at one go.
Sometimes, I just wonder why they can't let go already!
