“Do not hand a ghost a ladle"
has been passed down as a pearl of wisdom among fishermen through generations.
What's more, they developed an overly specific countermeasure:
"When asked for a ladle by a ghost, punch a hole in its bottom and then hand it over.

“Time is an eternal nomad; years too are like travelers who come and go.
For boatmen who spend their whole lives on the water and for horse handlers who age as they pull their horses, their daily lives are a journey, as if their journeys are their homes.
Numerous scholars have, in fact, passed away on the road.”
