What happened to the behavior of inviting the eight fairies in the countryside in the last century?

I think it is more because of superstition, because the village believes in these things. Now many magicians are preaching how amazing and wonderful they are, confusing the people. Some great immortals and nuns in many rural areas in North China even made a lot of predictions. Most of them didn't know whether it was true or not, and some media even shouted for a comprehensive crackdown.

In fact, the role of daxian in the countryside is the same as that of monks in the city, and both are indispensable. It should also be pointed out that Daxian, Mr. Bazi and rural geomantic geographers are not a profession. Feng shui masters specialize in building houses. Mr. Ba Zi mainly studies numerology and eight characters, and Daxian generally predicts good or bad luck.

All human beings have doubts and confusions. As long as there are human beings, they need a kind of spiritual support. Few people have lived their whole lives, not confused or confused. Doubt has nothing to do with knowledge level, but needs answers, otherwise you will be afraid, uneasy, confused and confused. These problems can't be solved by yourself. Many people stay up all night because of confusion and are dark because of fear. Life is worse than death. Generally, the countryside depends on the immortal, and the city's powerful people rely on the living Buddha. Although tall, they are essentially the same.

Daxian needs ignorant locals, some popular Daxian or people who watch incense. There is a rule: these big immortals always exist only in rural areas, and it is difficult for cities to have soil for survival. Just like the "heavenly father's possession" that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom likes to engage in, it is very useful for the poor in Guangxi, but it is not easy to use when it comes to intellectuals and rational people. They went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there were many local intellectuals, so they didn't believe in this kind of possession. When Zuo went to join the Taiping Army, he didn't like their tricks and left angrily.
