What is the relationship between China traditional culture and feudal superstition?

It can be said that feudal superstition has always been the most quintessential part of Confucianism in China's traditional culture. Feudal society is a social system based on private ownership, which is conservative and ancient. The feudalism that modern people refer to usually describes a similar ideology. Superstition, literal understanding is confusing conviction, and it is based on blind and incomprehensible beliefs.

As big as "Confucianism" pursues loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and the monarchy is divine. The so-called "Feng Tian Yun" and "True Destiny" make the people afraid of ghosts and gods; Even emperors of past dynasties and even rebellious peasant leaders pretended to be "ordered by heaven", "punished for the people" or "doing justice for heaven". From generation to generation, good and evil cause and effect cycle. Are all related to feudal superstitions.

In modern times, feudal superstition should not be a derogatory term. It often represents a sense of connecting the past with the future. Feudal superstition can directly distinguish between good and evil of feudal superstition itself.

In feudal superstitions, "fear of ghosts and gods", "cautious pursuit of the future", "holding one's head three feet high", "retribution theory" and "believing in gods" are often the most powerful punishment tools for moral restraint, and the result is to guide people to do good rather than evil. Therefore, in some aspects, feudalism and superstition should be firmly believed and inherited.
