What is the custom?

Custom is a cultural phenomenon inherited and developed by a nation or group under specific historical conditions and special geographical environment.

In the long historical development process, different nationalities or groups in different regions have different thoughts and behaviors due to different social life. Because these behaviors often appear repeatedly in a specific environment, they gradually become some fixed behavior patterns or habits of our nation, and finally form what we now call customs.

China has a tradition of attaching importance to customs since ancient times. To be a politician, we must first study and observe the customs and know the gains and losses. This is an ancestral motto that emperors of all dynasties have followed. The supreme ruler should not only personally ask about the customs and people's feelings, but also appoint officials to inspect the customs and people's feelings as an important reference when formulating national policies, so that historians will go down in history and leave experience in managing customs for future generations.
