The difference between the present society and the old society in China.

Compared with "New China", it is a general term for people who were exploited by feudalism or oppressed by semi-colonialism and semi-feudalism before the founding of the People's Republic of China and oppressed by the three great mountains of capitalism. As a derogatory term, life is miserable. Bad habits are the product of the old society. With the progress of society and the development of science, people's ideas have gradually changed. By breaking the old and establishing the new, changing customs and customs, many bad habits have disappeared, but some still have some influence. In the old society, workers were treated differently from the new society. In the old society, there was no welfare guarantee for workers, but now the welfare guarantee for workers is very good and the working hours are very different. In the past, the social and economic level was relatively low, so people's concepts were relatively backward. Therefore, workers have low requirements for their own wages, as long as they can earn money, so they are far from the current workers.

Early marriage, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the control of the concept of "marry a daughter-in-law early and adopt a son early, and get benefits early", underage men and women married prematurely, with the youngest male marrying at 12 and the youngest female marrying at 15. Some parents define their children as "early marriage" or consanguineous marriage, which leads to marriage tragedy and deformity of offspring. 1950 "Marriage"

After the promulgation and implementation of the law, this evil custom was gradually curbed until it was eradicated.

Women wrap their feet. In the old days, when women were five or six years old, they began to wrap their feet with cloth to inhibit their growth until they formed pointed feet. The old custom regards feet as beauty, which leads to many women being artificially disabled for life and suffering greatly. This is a typical manifestation of women's oppression in feudal society. At the beginning of the Republic of China, the government explicitly prohibited foot binding, but it did not put an end to it. There are still a few people in the countryside who stubbornly insist on binding their daughters' feet. It was not until 1945 that this vulgar custom was completely eliminated.

In the old society, there were three kinds of filial piety, and the idea of raising children to prevent old age was very serious. Therefore, the idea of son preference has a long history. In the old society, women's social status was very low, and most women were deprived of the right to study and engage in social activities, and even the right to inherit. Some childless women want to "adopt" their sons and call them "heirs" to continue the incense. 1950 after the implementation of the marriage law, equality between men and women is advocated. This vulgar custom has been greatly criticized, but in the eyes of many people, it is still deeply rooted. With the development of society, women's status in production and social activities is getting higher and higher, and the family planning policy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now the old idea of son preference has been gradually abandoned.

Gambling, gambling prevailed in rural areas in the old society. Publicly set up gambling such as watching cards, playing mahjong, throwing dice and betting. There were so many participants that some gamblers lost all their money. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government strictly prohibited it, which made this bad habit disappear quickly. But now it has recovered (since the end of 1990).

Superstition, underdeveloped social science, low cultural level of villagers and deep belief in superstitious ghosts and gods. Superstitious activities such as asking witches for immortality but not seeking medical treatment, fortune-telling and praying for rain to the Dragon King are prevalent during the drought of geomantic omen. Bring spiritual constraints and property losses to the villagers. After the founding of New China, with the popularization of scientific knowledge, superstition became more and more indifferent. Only a few elderly women are still engaged in superstitious activities such as believing in God's fortune telling and watching Feng Shui, which makes witches and others earn a lot of money by cheating.
