http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/20/china-wages-war-funeral-strippers/
China has launched its latest crackdown against a phenomenon which just won't seem to die in rural areas, funeral strippers. The Ministry of Culture said last month that it was targeting "striptease" and other "obscene, pornographic, and vulgar performances" at funerals, weddings and traditional Chinese New Year public gatherings. The war on strippers at funerals has been a long one for China. Authorities first began clamping down on "obscene" performances in 2006 and launched a second campaign in 2015. Some communities in rural China reportedly believe that bigger attendances at funerals help to honour the dead and bring them good fortune. "According to the interpretation of cultural anthropology, the fete is originated from the worship of reproduction," media professor Kuang Haiyan said, according to The Global Times. "Therefore the erotic performance at the funeral is just a cultural atavism." "In recent decades," the Global Times said on Tuesday, "Chinese rural households are more inclined to show off their disposable incomes by paying out several times their annual income for strippers to comfort the bereaved and entertain the mourners." Why couldn't we have this be more commonplace? I'm sick of attending Catholic funeral processions. --- Sometimes people come along and they want to change things.

That sounds like a pretty good tradition. I dont know why theyd want to get rid of it. All other cultures should appropriate it, tbh.
