Examples of folklore with inherited and spreading nature

Inheritance: cremation has become a common practice in Chinese society in recent decades, mainly due to the relative shortage of arable land, i.e., the need for material life. However, the cultural value of the funeral rituals has not changed because of the material needs of cremation. Nor has the traditional core value of "resting in peace" mentioned above changed because of the social needs of the times, such as the change of dynasties in history. At the same time, traditions with vitality can be passed on in new forms due to changes in validity. Therefore, when cremation and burial are in conflict because of their validity, the vital factors will find a new form of validity and thus pass on the core beliefs and values. Dissemination: Folklore has the ability to spread, and once it encounters the right social soil, it will soon spread to other areas with similar social conditions.
