What kind of "folk custom" is pseudo-folk custom?

Adding a "fake" to folk customs sounds disgusting. However, to understand what is "pseudo" folklore, we must first understand what is "true" folklore. Folk custom, that is, folk custom, refers to the cultural life created, enjoyed and passed down by the broad masses of people in a country or nation. Through this brief definition, we can immediately understand what kind of cultural matters belong to folk customs. Give a simple example-Dragon Boat Festival. As a traditional festival with a long history, the Dragon Boat Festival has inherited a large number of traditional folk customs, including historical events, legends, national spirit, folk beliefs, poems and songs related to the Dragon Boat Festival, as well as folk activities that express the cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival-dragon boat racing, making zongzi, drinking realgar wine and making sachets; It also includes all the physical objects used in festivals-dragon boats, zongzi and so on. The content of the Dragon Boat Festival, whether it is a spiritual and cultural phenomenon or an object with special significance, is a cultural material created and enjoyed collectively by the broad masses of our nation in the long years, which is called "folk custom". Buou's pseudo-folklore, I think, refers to some "national festivals" or "cultural tourism" projects created by tourism development or development of so-called "cultural industries" in recent years. These "folk customs" are actually performances performed by various places to increase tourists' interest and experience in the process of traveling. As long as it is slightly compared with the Dragon Boat Festival mentioned above, it can be seen that it is far from the real folk custom. Therefore, folklore is folklore, which lives in our cultural system and develops with us. The so-called "pseudo" folklore is just a literary performance labeled as "folklore", that's all.
