Many remote rural areas still maintain many local customs. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

The customs in some places are closely related to feudal superstition, and this so-called custom should of course be banned, because it will have some bad effects on future generations, making them unable to adhere to the spirit of science and seeking truth from facts. Some customs are very good, which can make people have filial piety or cultivate better moral character. These customs should be left behind.

For example, when there are weddings and funerals in rural areas, there are usually villagers who spontaneously go to that family to help. This is actually a good custom of helping each other, and there is a spirit that everyone is for me and I am for everyone. Then when the farm is busy, everyone will help each other spontaneously. Today, we will pick plums for this fruit tree and peaches for that fruit tree tomorrow. Everyone is like this, which can make their relationship closer.

Of course, there are some local customs that are superstitious. For example, when the whole family comes home after going out to play, they must shout "I'm back" as if greeting something. This so-called custom is very undesirable and will make children feel scared. There is also the custom that eating chopsticks are not allowed to cross, which is very unscientific and should be abandoned.

In short, local customs do have good and bad customs, dross and essence. Of course, we should discard their dross and take their essence, so that those traditional and beautiful virtues can survive and those feudal superstitions will disappear forever with the death of the older generation. Only in this way can we have more Scientific Outlook on Development spirit and live a more satisfactory life in a realistic way.
