The second is adapted to the reality of social and historical conditions and produced, such as the establishment of new China advocated the new living customs.

Superstition is something confused and do not know what it really is, but also blindly believe in what they say, there is no scientific basis. Science is a dynamic, open and reliable method that allows for self-falsification (science is not any scientific theory) and is about formal logic and evidence.

In socialist society, traditional customs have a duality, there are new and old, progressive and backward, positive and negative opposing habits, on the one hand, there is a new socialist customs and habits, which is adapted to the socialist system of the new customs and habits, is adapted to the needs of social life, under the guidance of Marxism. Under the strong advocacy of the Party and the State, it has gradually arisen and developed, and it plays an important and positive role in evaluating people's moral behavior.

On the other hand, there are old customs and habits. In the old customs and habits, there are both the essence and the dregs, which we have to analyze and distinguish between the essence and the dregs, so as to discard the dregs and absorb the essence for the consolidation and development of socialism.

Society or folk, some people to "fortune-telling" as the label, the introduction of computer fortune-telling, supernormal capabilities prediction, animal fortune-telling, the use of modern sound, light, electricity and other equipment, to create a variety of mysterious effects, deceiving and fooling the masses. Feudal superstitious activities have evolved from traditional patterns into organized, planned, disciplined and institutionalized gangs. And, the activities of the organizers and the backbone of the members, no longer in the general sense of the witch, but was a highly educated and highly qualified direction.

They utilize certain professional knowledge to mix true and false science with each other and process them into a new scientific veneer. In this way, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between the true and the false, and the possibility of being deluded is extremely high. Feudal superstition is harmful to the world, just like a dose of spiritual opium, superstition is not broken, it is difficult to develop a healthy society.
