Although folk taboos are closely related to the culture of gods and ghosts, they also include many ancient people's interpretations of the universe and the world, as well as cultural inheritance and some scientific principles. "Book of Rites: Qu Li Shang" "When entering the country, ask about the taboos; when entering the country, ask about the customs; when entering the country, ask about the taboos." People form self-limitations in behavioral directions and behavioral methods out of fear of some mysterious force and based on certain experiences, concepts and emotions. Taboo or taboo, simply put, is something that is forbidden or not done. It is people's expectations for life and their desire to avoid evil and seek good fortune. Taboos are learned through lessons in daily life, gained from failures or mistakes, and spread through word of mouth. They have certain motivation and binding force. It has nothing to do with laws and regulations, but depends on the self-identity of the people.
Reader comments
I particularly like the parts about family life taboos, such as respecting parents, tabooing father and son at the same table, etc. This made me realize the importance attached to family ethics in traditional culture. I feel that these taboos are not only a cultural inheritance, but also people's expectations and norms for life. I think this book has some inspiration for us in getting along with others and respecting traditions in our daily lives. Is there any taboo that particularly interests you?
