Life and death practices include different use of traditional Chinese medicine and the evolution of various clothing styles. The change and development of them both reflect the wisdom of Macao residents. In addition, some ceremonies or practices related to burial, confinement in childbirth and Taoism also represent people’s changing perceptions of birth and death in Macao. They are all part of an inseparable element of Macao’s cultural heritage. In recent years, Macao has been conducting more and more research into Chinese herbal medicine and has established a large number of local research institutes and pharmaceutical factories. Different styles of clothing shops can also be found in Macao everywhere. The evolution of styles and materials of clothes, as well as the changing ceremonies and practices on fishing boats or those for birth and death are all epitomes of the overall changing perceptions, beliefs and customs of the local communities in Macao.

生死相關的習俗包括中醫藥的不同使用和各種服裝風格的演變。他們的變化和發展都反映了澳門居民的智慧。此外，一些與埋葬、生產時的習俗和道教有關的儀式或做法也代表了澳門人對出生和死亡觀念的變化。它們都是澳門文化遺產不可分割的組成部分。近年來，澳門對中草藥的研究越來越多，並在當地建立了大量研究機構和製藥廠。不同風格的服裝店在澳門隨處可見。服裝風格和材料的演變，以及漁船上或生死儀式和習俗的變化，都是澳門當地社區整體觀念、信仰和習俗變化的縮影。

In the context of climate change, Macao residents may contract different diseases under different climatic conditions, for example, more likely to get rheumatism in wet weather. Meanwhile, climate changes and weather conditions can also affect the way medicines are stored and used. In addition, residents' dressing habits and choice of fabrics are also inextricably linked to the climate. Besides, those birth and death related ceremonies, as well as a series of Taoist practices held on the fishing-boats all originated from the characteristics of some specific climates and the corresponding symbolism or beliefs behind them. Furthermore, climate change also relates to Feng Shui, therefore, Chinese graves are generally positioned facing the ocean, as this is thought to give greater or the Chinese belief in environmental harmony. 

在氣候變化影響下，人們可能會感染不同的疾病，例如，在潮濕的天氣裡更容易患風濕病。同時，氣候變化和天氣條件也會影響藥品的儲存和使用方式。此外，人們的穿著習慣和面料的選擇也與氣候有著千絲萬縷的聯繫。其次，那些與生死有關的儀式，以及在漁船上舉行的一系列道教活動，都源於一些特定氣候的特徵及其背後相應的象徵或信仰。最後，氣候變化也與風水有關，因此，當地人的墳墓通常面向海洋，因為這被認為賦予了當地人更多的環境和諧信念。
