Why can't you bring bananas to graves?

You are not allowed to bring bananas when visiting graves. You cannot bring bananas, plums, pears, and pineapples together, because the words "蕉", "梅", "梨", and "旺来" sound like "招你来旺" in Taiwanese, which is considered taboo. It is best not to choose whole bunches of fruits, fruits with many seeds, or fruits with hollow cores when visiting graves. Fruits such as pears, grapes, and melons are not suitable. People believe that pear and parting have the same pronunciation as "li". In the past, people believed that "li" represented separation and had a bad meaning. Moreover, it is not only inappropriate to bring pears to graves, but also to visit patients in the hospital.
