The most popular superstition in Russia

Russians are superstitious (especially Russian women). The "fetishism" that ruled Gullas tribes long before Christianity was introduced into Gullas, as well as the western culture and habits (such as "Black Friday" and "13" are considered unlucky days), and the mysterious traditional oriental culture (geomantic omen, auspicious days of the ecliptic, etc.). ) popular in recent years. In Russian customs, women are often obsessed with astrology, and they like to read fortune for themselves or their relatives and friends when something happens, and even read books like Duke of Zhou to calculate fortune telling. The most popular superstition in Russia is that if a black cat runs in front of you, it finally stops and goes another way (because there are "unclean" things waiting on the road, which will bring misfortune); It's best not to sprinkle salt or break the mirror. These are ominous signs. If you want to go to the examination room, don't forget to put five kopecks on your heel, so everything will be smooth. Knocking on the wood or spitting on the left shoulder three times will be a great success (this move is especially aimed at the crow's mouth), because superstition believes that spitting on the left shoulder can drive away evil spirits (Russians believe that the devil sits on the left shoulder and the angel sits on the right shoulder). Even Russian children know that seeing a long-legged spider means that you will receive a letter or telegram soon. Don't kill it, or it will be a disaster. If a knife falls to the ground while eating, it means that a man (even someone who eats with you) will soon appear in your life. If it is a woman, a fork or spoon will also fall. Never whistle at home-you'll be poor all your life. When you put the bread on the table, don't turn it upside down, it will bring bad luck. Don't cut your nails at night-it will attract a gentleman on the beam. If you get up with your left foot in the morning, you won't be in a good mood all day. Before leaving (going out), the person who saw me off and the person who was sent off must sit quietly for a while, and then leave immediately (once you forget something, you must look in the mirror, which can drive away bad luck). Don't give a knife as a gift. If you receive a knife, you must "sell it" (pay the person who gave it to you symbolically). If you accidentally step on someone's foot, be sure to ask him carefully to "return his foot", otherwise there will be a quarrel. If you like a place during your trip and want to go again, you can throw a coin into the water (lake, river, fountain), and the goddess of fate will definitely arrange for you to come here again. If your nose itches-you have to fight or get drunk, if your left arm itches-you have money. If you sneeze, it means that someone misses you and maybe someone scolds you. There are also many superstitions about marriage. In ancient times, unmarried girls in Russia could "foresee the rest of their lives"-put a bunch of garlands in the river every spring to predict their future fate: if the garlands sink into the water, they will die; If the wreath floats in the water, you will get married; If you float back to the shore, you can't get married. Until now, there are still many superstitions about marriage in Russia. In a subtle way, people intentionally or unintentionally do not break these "rules". For example, at the dining table, Russian unmarried men and women try not to sit in the corner of the dining table, otherwise they will never get married. Don't send photos to your sweetheart before marriage-marriage will be unhappy, you will often quarrel and you may break up. If an unmarried woman dusts herself at the dinner table, she may marry a bald husband or a premature bald husband. People think that Sunday is the most taboo day for marriage, while Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are "auspicious days". If someone pours the wine left in the bottle to an unmarried woman at the dinner table, it means that the woman will not get married until she is very old. If an unmarried man doesn't finish his soup, his future wife will be a woman with red hair (the traditional custom in ancient Russia thinks that a person with red hair is a devil). If a girl has been a bridesmaid for more than five times, it is difficult for her to get married. The groom can't look at the dress before the wedding. Relatives of the bride can't make dresses for the bride, and neither can the bride herself. If a large number of crows or western Western jackdaw gather on the roof-this is a good sign, the wedding will be held in this house. When getting married in church, whoever holds the candle high is the "number one" in the family; In order to be in power at home, you must put the ring on the base of your finger. In recent years, Russians like to refer to the "auspicious day of the zodiac" when they get married, but strictly abide by the "Feng Shui" when placing things at home or in the office. At the beginning of each year, Russians must ask each other what year this year is: the year of the tiger, the year of the ox, the year of the horse or the year of the monkey ... thinking about what their new year's fortune will be like. Even a cautious and wise Russian lady will solemnly declare that she was born in the Year of the Rat, so she can't marry this gentleman because their birthdays are similar. At the same time, she insists that she is a person who firmly believes in human science. Nowadays, it is very popular in Russia to use coffee or tea for divination: after drinking tea or coffee, concentrate and carefully observe the pattern of tea or coffee residue at the bottom of the cup to predict the future (you can buy divination books in this regard in bookstores).
