1. When I am alone at home late at night, reading books about ghosts and other things. . For example, just like this post.

Pay attention to the movement behind you and maintain a high degree of vigilance so that you don’t even know there is a ghost standing behind you (this rule is particularly harsh, hence the folk taboo: Don’t talk to people during the day. Don’t talk ghosts at night).

2. Do not take young children to see funerals or visit graves, because the children’s heavenly spirit cap has not been closed and the spiritual light is still there. The commonly known as the heavenly eye has not yet degraded, and they can see things that adults cannot see.

Because children’s yang energy is not strong, the yang fire in their bodies cannot completely drive away the yin energy, and they are easily disturbed by the yin energy and cause physical discomfort.

3. If a familiar person calls your name in the middle of the night or on a foggy day, don’t rush to answer. You must wait until three times to confirm the person calling your name before you agree. Otherwise, you will easily have nightmares or nightmares.

4. Don’t look in the mirror in the middle of the night. The mirror can not only flush away evil spirits, but also normal anger. People's Yang Qi can be replenished during the daytime exercise, but when sleeping at night, Yang Qi cannot be replenished. Therefore, one should avoid looking in the mirror to avoid affecting the gathering of Yang Qi. The mirrors in ordinary people's homes are kept closed at night.

5. Hang a mirror on the door of your new home. It is said to be a mirror for looking at monsters, but it is rare now. You can use a Chinese knot instead to offset bad things with happiness.

6. When you go home after dark, turn around and close the door after entering. Do not close the door directly to avoid the bad things following behind you. It is recommended to smoke a cigarette at the door and wait for a while before entering the house.

7. When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet or enter other places where no one is around, cough loudly first. On the one hand, you will drive away stray cats and other things to avoid scaring yourself when they suddenly jump out. On the other hand, it will also serve as a reminder. Yin and Yang avoid each other.

8. Noon is an unlucky time of the day. Do not walk alone in the wild to avoid encountering the ghosts of those who were tortured at three o'clock in the past.

9. If a person dies wearing red clothes, he will turn into a ghost. Generally, the ghosts in movie plots are all dressed in red, so don’t wear red clothes for dying people. 10. If you are alone in the wild and encounter a whirlwind, you should spit two mouthfuls of saliva in the center of the wind to increase your own yang energy and ward off evil spirits.

11. The blood of a person’s middle finger has innate pure yang energy, which can ward off evil spirits. Especially the point of blood on a boy or the tip of the tongue has the strongest yang energy. You can bite the middle finger or the tip of the tongue at a critical moment. . . . . . .

12. When you meet a woman, the elderly, or a child alone in the wilderness, you should not talk to them casually, nor help them casually, because the whereabouts of such people are inherently suspicious, let alone in a deserted wilderness. Monk Sha also knew that in a deserted place, where would a village girl come to deliver food?

13. Objects to ward off evil spirits:

Official uniforms, inkstones, and baby swaddling clothes. Butcher knife. Blood on middle finger. Willows, consecrated life-saving amulets and brave and other spiritual objects.

14. People who ward off evil spirits

Samurai, butchers, strong men with thick hair, famous people, monks with good cultivation, old people over 80 years old, newborn babies , great good people, etc. These people cannot and dare not be violated by gods and ghosts. If you can, try to follow the above statements. After all, the statements that have been circulated for hundreds of years still make sense.

In the past, villagers had many taboos. From today's perspective, some of these taboos are superstitious, some are the summary of experience and lessons, some are similar to moral norms and etiquette, and some are similar to moral norms and etiquette. It belongs to worship and remembrance.

1. Whistling is not allowed in the coal kiln. Coal can only be cut with a milling shovel and no hoe is allowed.

2. Businessmen are not allowed to acupuncture (called "Musousao" in the local dialect)

3. Doctors are not allowed to perform acupuncture on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

4. The barbering industry will be closed on the 13th day of the seventh lunar month (it is said that this day is the birthday of Luo Zhenren, the founder of hair-shaving, and barbers will close their businesses to offer sacrifices).

5. The word "red" is not allowed in brick kilns. In the old days, the bricks and tiles fired in brick kilns were all blue bricks and green tiles. If anyone burned red, it would be difficult to sell them.

6. The boatman does not kill mice. The opera singers don't charge money to ride on the boat.

Legend has it that in the past, a troupe of opera singers took a boat to a certain place. When they reached the middle of the river, they discovered that the hull of the boat was leaking. The owner of the boat did not have the wood to repair it, so the opera troupe immediately took apart the "yazi" (a kind of "yazi"). Percussion instruments (also known as "clappers") made of high-quality wooden boards help boat owners nail holes and avoid accidents. In order to thank the singer for repairing the boat, the boat owner decided not to charge a ferry fee, and this became a custom from then on.

7. When cooking dumplings, Yuanxiao and other foods in the food industry, if they are broken, you should not say "broken" but "earned."

8. Carpenters' rulers and rulers cannot be stacked together to compete, which means that carpenters cannot compare "eat" ("eat" and "chi" have the same pronunciation).

These taboos are mainly concentrated on major events such as weddings and funerals.

When giving birth, there are many taboos in order for the child to grow up healthily in the future. For example, from the time the child is born to the full moon, the stone mill at home must be sealed and cannot be moved. If it moves, the child's body will have problems.

There was a family who used a stone mill to grind tofu a few days after the child was born. As a result, the child had eye problems. I went to many hospitals but could not be cured. Later, the old man in the family thought about the stone grinding problem, but it was too late and the child's eyes were left with lifelong disabilities. Of course, this may just be a coincidence, but when the neighbors talk about it, they all firmly believe in this taboo.

When you get married, you must cover the wellhead of the well at home with red paper on the wedding day. Even the wells that the wedding car passes along the way must be covered. In addition, when the wedding car encounters a bridge, wedding money must be thrown. The so-called happy money is coins wrapped in red paper.

Pregnant women cannot attend other people’s weddings. If you participate, it may cause problems with your own fetus or render the bride infertile. According to the old man, this is because the God of Joy and the God of Joy cannot meet. If they do, problems will easily arise. It is a bit similar to the meaning of "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers" and "the king cannot see the king".

In addition, according to the rules, the elder sister cannot attend the younger sister's wedding. If she does, it will make the younger sister's marriage unhappy.

In terms of white matters, there are even more taboos.

Some old people have passed away. Due to the limitations of the old man's birth date and death date, no matter how sad the children are, they cannot cry. This is called "still crying". If one cannot stop crying, it can lead to the death of another person in the family. Very evil.

During the wake, cats should not be allowed to enter the morgue room, and especially should not be allowed to pass by the corpse, otherwise it may lead to corpse fraud. I have heard old people talk about the scene of corpse fraud, which is very scary. Because the corpse had borrowed the cat's vitality, its heart suddenly began to beat one after another. At this time, experienced people will find an iron plow for plowing and press it on the corpse. After a while, the corpse will "die". If an iron plow cannot be found to suppress it in time, the corpse will stand up, which means it is really a fake corpse.

When building a tomb, the remaining bricks, stones, etc. cannot be taken home, but must be buried beside the tomb on the spot. If someone takes it home and uses it to build a house, they will suffer.

The above things are like folk tales, passed down orally by the older generation, and not many people have seen them with their own eyes. Therefore, I think it is still mostly superstitious. However, just like folk customs, over time, these things have become part of the folk customs, and everyone has agreed to abide by them. After all, no one wants to get into trouble.

Taboos on the construction site.

1. Worship before starting construction.
