The writer obtained the data by interviewing ten members of Chinese Indonesian family living in Semarang and celebrating Chinese events. The result shows that some Chinese Indonesian family in Semarang still believe in existence of the superstition in events such as Chinese New Year, Ceng Beng, Funeral, Marriage, house, and they daily life activity. Most Chinese Indonesian people learn superstitions from older generation. They believe in superstition for several reasons: it is a tradition from the elders that they follow, it is a tradition they want to keep, and it is good knowledge and values they have to keep in their daily life. Some people no longer believe in superstitions because their religious teaching forbid them to believe in it. Some also consider superstitions not real but surreal.
