Beating villains is a custom listed as an intangible cultural heritage in Hong Kong. What does this mean?

Different national cultures are different, and so are different regional cultures in our country. China is a country that pays attention to ceremonies, and many people believe in Buddhism. There is a custom in Hong Kong that beating a villain is something that is done regularly every year. Just like people who believe in Buddhism, they will hold corresponding activities regularly to get rid of their bad luck and not be entangled in the body by villains.

Beating villains is a popular witchcraft ceremony in Hong Kong and Guangdong. I hope to use this witchcraft ceremony to expel and retaliate against the so-called "little people." There are also mainlanders who come to Hong Kong to fight villains. There are men and women who beat villains, and foreign tourists come to visit. Before the event, people will burn incense for Buddha statues and so on. Beating villains will be held in dark places, which also means that people want to get rid of their bad luck.

There are many things like beating villains. It's a bit like Tomb-Sweeping Day in China. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, China, people burn paper for their dead relatives. It is also a spiritual sustenance to hope that relatives can live a better life in another world. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people also invite special people to hold some special ceremonies, so there are some similarities between them. It is a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Just like the traditional culture of China, we should also respect their traditional culture. Every region has cultural differences. So it will be different. The cultural development of each region is different, so the resulting culture is different. We should respect each other's cultural differences, get to know each other better, or go to the local area to feel the cultural customs at that time.
