Do Americans believe in Feng Shui and superstition?

Today, the first sentence that my eldest daughter, Big Sister, saw me when she came home from school was: "Mom, I almost died." Because I cried, the eyeliner I painted in the morning turned my face into a black spot. It turned out that on the way home from school, the elder sister turned left, because there was water on the rainy road, and she turned to the opposite road. "I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, there were not many cars opposite, and they all passed by my car." Elder sister concerned said. Then he said, "I knew something was going to happen today, because I opened an umbrella at home when I went out this morning."

It is unlucky to open an umbrella indoors in American culture, just like China's "right eye jump" and "going out and crowing". China people are very sensitive to the number "four" because it is homophonic with "death". This is introduced in some American university textbooks or books introducing China culture. So, what do Americans think is unlucky?

1. The black cat walks in front of you.

Walk under a ladder

The bride and groom met the night before their wedding.

4. Dogs bark

5.No. 13

6. Friday 13

China people have many ways to get lucky, such as wearing red clothes, posing for feng shui and so on. After saying "I haven't caught a cold for a long time, and I haven't crashed my car", Americans knock on wood or wood products with two fingers, such as wooden tables and chairs. As we say, "Good luck". We have the habit of saying "good luck" after sneezing, and Americans say "God bless" or "bless". If you want to drive away bad luck, Americans will sprinkle salt on your left shoulder; After the dead at home, open doors and windows; Bring a necklace made of garlic.

People in China believe that 888 will bring good luck. They would rather spend more money on a license plate and telephone number. The lucky number of Americans is 7. They also believe that carrying a baby upstairs, finding a penny on the ground, bringing a one-dollar silver coin, being born on Sunday and so on will bring good luck.

It seems that superstition is human nature regardless of national boundaries and races, and we all hope for good luck. But not everyone believes it? Of course not. Believe it or not, I do.
