Grasping tradition

In Changzhi, Shanxi Province, it has advantages and disadvantages for villagers to grab rice with pots for happy events.

Just some time ago, a video was circulated on the Internet. In this video, we can see that many villagers are "grabbing rice" with pots and pans, and some even carry buckets. I thought it was a robbery if I didn't know. So, where are the people in this video from? What the hell are they doing? Is there looting?

Actually, it happened on10.8, Changzhi, Shanxi. In fact, the "grabbing rice" in this video is a very normal phenomenon, because at that time, some people in the countryside here ate big pots of rice for happy events, so the villagers grabbed rice with pots and barrels. In fact, this is also a local custom, no matter which family holds a happy event, it will do so. According to Mr. Chen, who is in charge of a happy event, "We have the custom of getting married at weddings and funerals. This custom has been circulating for decades. Most of the people who robbed the rice were neighbors, and the people who robbed proved that the main family had a good neighborhood relationship and the food was fragrant. "

All in all, this video is not a "looting", but a custom when local people hold happy events, which is also normal. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this custom?

In fact, this custom has been handed down for a long time, which is of course reasonable. After all, it has been implemented for so long. The custom of "grabbing rice" can actually make neighbors have a strong sense of participation and make happy events more lively. I'm thinking, if we don't lose face at the wedding, it's certainly sad. In short, this custom still has a great role in "setting off the atmosphere".

Of course, this custom of "grabbing rice" still has great disadvantages. When "grabbing food", it is very likely that there will be disputes, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps. We can imagine that it would be very bad if there was an argument during the "rice grab" at the scene. After all, belonging to neighbors is not good for neighborhood relations, and this kind of dispute is likely to turn into a fight. In addition, the custom of "grabbing rice" is also very likely to be trampled. It is also possible that a group of people will flock in disorder.

From this perspective, the custom of "grabbing rice" has advantages and disadvantages. So, what do netizens think of this custom?

In fact, most netizens are still critical of this custom. These netizens said: "This custom is a bit vulgar and should be abandoned!" Some netizens also said: "This is ok, my bridal chamber is going to vomit!" "There are many strange customs and habits, so we should treat them well!" Many netizens said: "This accident-prone, decades-old custom was developed in the most difficult period, and now it is meaningless."

In short, the custom of "grabbing rice" is basically not supported on the Internet.
