The Expression of Primitive Tradition in Shang and Zhou Dynasties

China traditional Nuo ceremony was popular in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Simply put, it should be a unique ritual activity with certain mystery. Its main function is to drive away evil spirits. This is a superstitious activity that takes place every year. The purpose is to let everyone seek peace and happiness, so as to get some psychological comfort.

First, the origin of Nuo instrument prevailed in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. At that time, people were superstitious, thinking that many things were arranged by God, with both good and bad. In this case, when people meet a happy event, such as giving birth to a child, and think it is a blessing from God, they will organize a Nuo ceremony to thank God for his gift by dancing and offering sacrifices. Similarly, when large-scale disasters occur, such as continuous heavy rain, continuous heavy snow and diseases in many areas, it will be considered that God is reminding and punishing himself, and will also organize Nuo ceremonies to pray for God's forgiveness.

Second, the activity content of Nuo instrument. How is the Nuo ceremony held? It is a religious activity that gathers the wisdom of the public. The big ones can participate with the strength of the whole country, and the small ones can be organized one by one. Because Nuo instrument is also called Nuo dance, Nuo dance and Nuo opera, as the name implies, I think its activities are mainly to dance a specific dance and perform a specific program, plus twelve animals. Through the concerted efforts of man and beast, pray for heaven, exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, and finally achieve peace and auspiciousness.

Third, the follow-up of Nuo instrument Now, under the education of Marxism, everyone is a materialist. Most people rarely believe in superstition, but some people believe in superstition. Organizing activities like Nuo ceremonies has the same significance as in ancient times, and the key point is to pray for God's blessing. Although I am a materialist, there are some superstitious things that cannot be explained by science. Regardless of superstition or whatever, I believe that as long as it is good for everyone, even if it is a psychological comfort, it is enough.

Existence is reasonable. I think there is some merit in the existence of such a grand and long-standing Nuo instrument in ancient times. No matter what the reason is, I believe it is good for myself and the people around me. Therefore, Enoch was a ritual activity in ancient China, and now it can be called a psychological comfort ceremony.
