The fortune teller said that we should call mom. The fortune teller said that it is expensive for my mother to take care of the children.

Why did the Han people who spoke Mandarin in Guangdong and Guangxi in the 1970s and 1980s call their parents uncles and aunts?

This is not only the Han people in Guangdong and Guangxi who speak vernacular Chinese, but also in the 1970s and 1980s. Nowadays, many rural areas are still a little superstitious, and their parents are called uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law. Why is there a deviation? This is related to the influence of traditional superstition.

In the past, medical technology was underdeveloped, people's living conditions were not good, it was not easy to have children, and it was common to die young. Parents also died of illness after giving birth. In the past, people were ignorant and superstitious, not only believing in fortune telling, but also believing in immortals. So some people think that fortune telling is their profession, and some people make a living by divining witches and exorcising ghosts. When people get sick or something, they go to fortune telling and ask for a witch stick. Therefore, the statement that parents and children condemn or worship each other comes out, and finding a witch god is even more fascinating and confusing, so you can't help but believe it. Therefore, many people would rather believe in it than call it the best, so as to comfort themselves psychologically.

People are more or less influenced by psychological hints. Even now, they still believe this. They call their parents or visit them. No one worships immortals as parents. Some people worship an old tree or a big stone in social temples. When I was a child, I went to a fortune teller and said that my parents were punished. I didn't ask my parents to pay homage again, so I went to recognize a big stone and worshipped it as my parents. Even my name was given? Deng Shi? That is to say, Deng and Ye are recognized parents, while Murakami, a person born in the same year, is the same, just using a nickname? Deng Shi? , become me? Shude Deng Shi? And Shu Ren Deng Shi, Woods Deng Shi, etc. And then ask why Kui Gang was born in the Reform Movement of 1898.

In the past, when there was nothing to do, the simplest way to avoid it was to call it partial trust, or to worship the deed seriously. This means that both parents and children have punishment practices. Children are hard to raise, and nicknames are cheap, ranging from dogs to cats. This is basically a superstition for psychological comfort. Now some people are superstitious and believe, but they are much less. This is also caused by social development and improvement of life. Gradually, this phenomenon will become less and less.
