Many people say that Chaoshan people are superstitious. what do you think?

First, people who hate worshipping God in Chaoshan are not Chaoshan people, but 100% Chaoshan daughter-in-law. Without living habits before, they will naturally feel redundant. Guangdong women who are married to provinces other than Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian also feel very unsanitary and wonderful about their husband's family not taking a bath in winter. Will their in-laws still think that she has the habit of taking a bath every day? ! Therefore, please don't judge local customs by personal habits. Secondly, as far as I know, some places in Fujian are also crazy about offering sacrifices to gods, such as Putian Department, some big officials and some places in Guangxi. Not just Chaoshan, only Guangdong. Third, the worship of gods is the characteristic of Chaoshan area. What fascinates me most is grandma's generation and mom's generation, and some of them are.

But the vast majority of mothers hardly go out, or their children ask for worship, or have visited their children's homes before. Don't talk about your mother, I just want to talk about my side.

Fourth, personally, I don't think this thing is religious, but maybe grandma and mom are religious and can pass the time. For example, my mother-in-law is illiterate and not very keen on worshipping God, but it is one of her few pastimes. I think it's fine. I don't need to take care of our family too much.

Fifth, I think this worship may gradually decline in the future, but it does not mean it is a good thing. In the first month of each year, it is also the nature of people's temple fairs that villages take turns to get old and hot. There is a kind of cultural inheritance, which is not entirely in the category of superstition. Sixth, as for some excessive worship, I personally feel very disgusted. For example, my friend said that her mother-in-law would wear it at 6 am, and my mother. In fact, no one in the family likes to eat these, but buying them is also a waste of money. For example, my friend's mother-in-law buys one and worships several people. Although it does not conform to the rules, it is not a waste. For example, at my mother-in-law's house, it's usually convenient to worship things, burn incense, refresh and get it done. Everyone said euphemistically, I'm afraid the host will get cold after eating for too long, and I don't know who will think of it.

I personally live in my own home. My mother never lets me worship the landlord on the first day of the month. July and a half is also a big festival, which allows me to worship like people nearby. In addition, some local business owners, such as the first half of July, will also have a holiday because of the unique welfare here in Chaoshan. The boss is busy at home and will let you go home. This is culture, not superstition.
