In ancient feudal society, superstitious things were often spread to consolidate imperial power. However, what I want to ask is, are most ancient people superstitious? Including the emperor

Admittedly, most of them are superstitious.

Reason: Since ancient times, the imperial power has been granted by heaven. As an emperor, everyone confuses the people with this, and the myth itself is conducive to rule. This is the so-called ignorance policy. As time goes by, even people who are clear-cut will be addicted to it and paralyze themselves, thinking that those illusory things are true. Those superstitions are all fabricated and false at first, but the consequences of spreading false information are already the truth in the illusion. These are the means of the ruling class.

Superstition: originally refers to people's blind belief or worship of things, such as books and money. Feudal superstition is a special term established by convention after the liberation of our country, which refers to people's thoughts and behaviors of believing in astrology, divination, witch doctors, geomantic omen, signs of life, ghosts and gods, etc.
