Then there are those who think there is inadequate novelty, and willy-nilly add lion dance troupes or dragon troupes. There are even many performances of Journey to the West, which have been roundly condemned by the Chinese Buddhist Association. These turn the funeral procession into a festive parade, making a bizarre sight amidst the funeral dirges.
也有些人嫌常見的新意不足，而擅自加入龍陣、獅陣，甚至為中國佛教會大肆抨擊的「三藏取經」也不在少數，造成出殯行列像極節慶，卻又佐以哀樂的怪模樣。
