The study of Zhouyi is so magical, why don't many people believe it?

Let me start with a phenomenon. Although the upsurge of Chinese studies has lasted for many years, some people will say: you are superstitious, and we only believe in science in 2 1 century. In fact, I have been puzzled for many years myself. So I looked up the definitions of "superstition" and "science". I don't know until I check. When I checked, I was shocked. There are different definitions of the two. In other words, the definition of the two is still inconclusive. So I believe that many people have long been confused about what is superstition and what is science. Let me quote a few explanations for your reference:

Superstition: Superstition refers to people's obsession, trust and confusion about things; More refers to blind beliefs and incomprehensible beliefs. The essential definition is to believe what should not be believed. People's positions are different, and the content of suspected superstition is also different. Superstition refers to human worship and belief in supernatural power, which is an illusory and distorted response to the objective world and a manifestation of ignorance and backwardness. Faith comes from seeing magical phenomena, but not understanding the profound truth and superstition inside. Superstition refers to irrational belief that some behavior or ceremony has magical effects. It is a blind belief and worship of people or things. Narrow superstition is feudal superstition. Broadly speaking, superstition should include religious belief, because any religious belief is a manifestation of superstition.

Science, which means learning by subject, later refers to gradually forming a complete knowledge system through careful classification (such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.). It is a knowledge about discovery, invention, creation and practice, and it is the general name of the knowledge system for human beings to explore, study and understand the changing laws of everything in the universe. It is concrete things and their objective laws, concrete seeking truth from facts, many practical experiences and empirical studies. The main contents of science are concrete world outlook and concrete methods. Science is not faith, but speaking with evidence. It is an attitude, viewpoint and method! At the same time, scientific things themselves have paradoxes! In other words, things in different professional disciplines are easily confused and considered contradictory! It is produced and developed to meet the needs of people's production struggle and class struggle, and it is the crystallization of people's practical experience.

The word science, in English, originated from Latin scio, later evolved into scientin, and finally became the writing method today. Its original meaning is knowledge and learning. Science is a tool for human beings to understand the world, and science itself is not truth. He needs three conditions: falsifiability, experimental verification and satisfying Occam's razor principle. It is really meaningless to continue quoting, because no one has given a clear definition of "superstition" and "science" so far, and they have always had their own rhetoric. The definitions of "science" and "superstition" are vague. How to distinguish superstition from science in your own thinking and behavior?
