1. When reading books about ghosts at home alone in the middle of the night. . For example, just like reading this post.

Pay attention to what's going on behind you, and you must keep a high degree of vigilance to avoid that you don't know that there is a ghost standing behind you (this one is particularly fierce, which is why there is a folk taboo that you don't talk about people during the day and ghosts at night).

2. Don't take children to see funerals or graves, because children's skulls are not closed, and their light is still there. It is commonly said that the eye of heaven has not degenerated, and they can see things that adults can't see.

Because the young children's yang is not strong, the yang fire on their bodies can't completely drive away the yin qi, so they are easily disturbed by the yin qi and feel unwell.

3. If someone familiar calls your name in the middle of the night or in foggy days, don't answer it in a hurry. You must wait until three times to confirm the person calling your name before agreeing, 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 evil spirits, but also flush normal spirits. People's yang can be replenished during daytime exercise, but it can't be replenished when they sleep at night. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid looking in the mirror so as not to affect the gathering of yang. The mirrors in ordinary people's homes are buckled at night.

5. A mirror should be hung on the door of the new house. It is said to be a demon mirror, but it is rare now. You can use Chinese knots to offset bad things with celebrations.

6. Go home after dark. After entering the door, turn around and close the door. You can't take the door directly, so as not to follow the bad things behind you. I suggest smoking a cigarette at the door and coming into the house later.

7. When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet or enter other places where there is no one, you should cough loudly first. On the one hand, you should drive away the wild cats and other things, so as not to suddenly jump out and scare yourself. On the other hand, it is also used to remind yin and yang to avoid each other.

8. Noon is a fierce time of the day. Don't wander in the wild alone, lest you meet the ghosts of the prisoners at 3: noon.

9. People who wear red clothes and die will become spectres. Generally, the spectres played in movies are all dressed in red, so don't wear red clothes for people who are dying. 1. When 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 yang and ward off evil spirits.

11. The blood in a person's middle finger has innate pure yang qi, which can ward off evil spirits, especially the blood on a boy or the tip of the tongue, which has the strongest yang qi, and can bite the middle finger or the tip of the tongue at a critical moment. . . . . .

12. When you meet a single woman, old man or child in the wilderness, you should not casually strike up a conversation with him or help him, because such people's whereabouts are suspicious, not to mention the fact that in the desolate wilderness, the sand monk knows that there is no village girl who can deliver meals.

13. things to ward off evil spirits:

official clothes, inkstones and baby swaddling clothes. Butcher knife. Middle finger blood. Willows, life-saving symbols for opening the light, and spiritual objects such as brave and brave.

14. People who ward off evil spirits

Warriors, butchers, mature men with thick hair, famous juren, well-trained monks and Taoist priests, elderly people over 8 years old, newborn babies, good people, etc. These people can't and dare not be violated by ghosts and gods. If you can do it, you should follow it as much as possible. After all, it is reasonable to say that it has been circulating for a hundred years.

In the past, there were many taboos among villagers. From the present point of view, some of these taboos belonged to superstition, others were summaries of experience and lessons, some were similar to moral norms and etiquette, and some belonged to worship and commemoration.

1. No whistling is allowed in coal mines. Only milling shovels are allowed for coal, and no shovel is allowed.

2. Businessmen are not allowed to play scutiger (called "wooden broom" in local dialect)

3. Doctors don't stick needles on the first and fifteenth days of the first year.

4. The barber shop is 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 the haircut, and the hairdresser closes for sacrifice).

5, brick kiln is not allowed to say "red". In the old days, the bricks and tiles fired in brick kilns were all blue bricks and tiles, and it was difficult for anyone to sell them if they were red.

6. The boatman doesn't hit the mouse. Opera singers don't charge money by boat.

It is said that in the past, when a troupe of singers went to a certain place by boat and went to the river, it was found that the boatside was leaking. At that time, the shipowner had no wood to repair it, so the singers immediately took apart the "teeth" (a percussion instrument made of high-quality wood boards, also known as "clappers") to help the shipowner nail the leak and avoid the accident. The shipowner decided not to charge the ferry fee in order to thank the singing opera for repairing the ship, and then he followed suit.

7. When the food industry cooks jiaozi, Yuanxiao and other foods, it is not "broken" but "earned".

8. Carpenter's ruler and ruler can't be stacked together for a competition, which means that a carpenter can't compete with "eating" ("eating" and "ruler" are homonyms).

These taboos mainly focus on such important events as weddings, funerals and happy events.

when giving birth to a child, there are many taboos in order to make the child grow up healthily in the future. For example, from the birth of a child to the full moon, the stone mill at home should be sealed and cannot be moved. If you move, the child's body will have problems.

A family used a stone mill to grind grinding bean curd a few days after the child was born. As a result, the child's eyes were out of order. I went to many hospitals, but I couldn't be cured. Later, the old man at home thought of the problem of stone mill, but it was too late to regret, and the child's eyes left a lifelong disability. Of course, this may be just a coincidence, but the neighbors are convinced of this taboo when they talk about it.

When getting married, be sure to cover the wellhead of the water well at home with red paper on the wedding day, even the water well passing by the wedding car. In addition, when the wedding car meets the bridge, it must throw happy money. The so-called hi money is a coin wrapped in red paper.

pregnant women are not allowed to attend other people's weddings. If you participate, it may lead to problems with your fetus or make the bride infertile. According to the old man, this is because XiShen and XiShen can't meet. If they meet, problems will easily arise. It's a bit like "one mountain can't accommodate two tigers" and "the king can't see the king".

In addition, according to the rules, my sister is also not allowed to attend my sister's wedding. If she does, it will make my sister's marriage unhappy.

there are more taboos in white matters.

Some old people have passed away. Due to the limitation of birthdates and the date of death, no matter how sad their children are, they can't cry. This is called "motionless crying". If you can't help crying, it will lead to the death of another person in your family. Very evil.

During the wake, cats should not be allowed to enter the morgue room, especially not to pass by the corpse, otherwise, it may lead to fraudulent corpse. I have heard old people talk about the scene of swindling corpses, which is very terrible. Because the corpse borrowed the cat's breath, its heart suddenly began to beat. At this time, experienced people will find an iron plow for farming and press it on the body. After a while, the body will be "dead". If you can't find an iron plow to hold it down in time, the body will get up, and that's a real fraud.

When laying a grave, the remaining bricks and stones can't be taken home, but should be buried beside the grave. If someone pulls it home and uses it to build a house, it will be a disaster.

these things, like folk stories, were passed down by the older generation, and not many people saw them with their own eyes. Therefore, I think it is still superstitious. However, just like folk customs, after a long time, these things have become part of folk customs, and everyone will follow them by convention. After all, nobody wants stroke of bad luck.

taboos on the construction site.

1. Worship before groundbreaking.

The construction team pays attention to the ground breaking when they enter the site, and they will invite people to choose a good day first, so as to ensure a peaceful wife during the construction process.

you can't start to break ground until a set of procedures has come down.

2. It is forbidden to cry at the construction site

It is forbidden to cry at the construction site, and I don't know why. Anyway, if someone cries at the site, the whole environment will give people a terrible feeling and make people panic.

Maybe the surrounding area of the construction site is empty, and the surrounding buildings are all gray cement, so crying has a tragic taste in such an environment.

3. Generally, tunnel construction does not require girls to enter the site.

Generally, girls are not required to enter the site.

Generally speaking, tunnel construction is usually in a dark environment, and there may be a lot of dirty things, while girls are cloudy and easy to provoke some dirty things, so usually some masculine boys enter the tunnel construction. This construction team in the south is particularly obvious.

4. It's bad luck to meet a double snake on the construction site
