Muziki unacheza kwa sauti, wacheza utupu wakicheza densi na umati ukishangilia. Katika sehemu zingine huko China hili ndilo unaweza kuliona wakati wa mazishi.
Mapema mwaka huu, China alianza tena kuwakamata wacheza utupu wanaocheza densi kwenye mazishi, harusi na kwenye mahekalu.
Hio sio mara ya kwanza mamlaka zimejaribu kuzuia tabia hizo lakini bado hazijanafikiwa

Mbona watu huwaajiri wacheza utupu?

Wacheza utupu hutumiwa kuwavutia watu wnaaohudhuria mazishi kwa sababu uwepo wa watu wengi kwenye mazishi huonekana kama heshima kwa marehemu.
Imani nyingine zinasema kuwa suala hilo na la kuabudu.
Imani nyingi ni ile kuwa kuwaajiri wacheza utupu kunaweza kuonekana kama ishara ya utajiri.
Maeneo ya vijijini nchini China ndiyo yenya tabia ya kutumia pesa nyingi hata kuliko mapata, kuwalipa wuigizaji, waimbaji, wachekeshaji na wacheza utupu kuwatumbuiza wale waliofiwa.

Shughuli hii ni maarufu?

Tamaduni hiyo inapatikana sana maeneo ya vijijini ya China na ni maarufu zaidi nchini Taiwan ambapo ilianzia.
"Tamaduni hii ya wacheza utupu kwenye mazishi kwanza lilipata umaarufu nchini Taiwan mwaka 1980," msomi wa chuo cha South Carolina Marc Moskowitz aliiambia BBC.
Tamaduni hii imepata umaarufu nchini Taiwan lakini nchini China serikali imeizuia na watu wengi hawafahamu kuihusu.
