Some common items that Chinese people consider bad luck include umbrellas (as they are associated with separating or cutting off relationships), clocks (as the pronunciation of "clock" is similar to "funeral" in Chinese), and shoes (as they are believed to bring bad luck when placed on a table or crossed while hanging). It is important to note that these beliefs vary among different individuals and regions in China.
