Chinese Creepy Traditions: People all over the world adopt various measures to protect themselves from evil spirits or negative powers. But to drive away the evil spirit, the people of China follow strange traditions, knowing which you will be scared.

You will be shocked to know some of the measures adopted in China to drive away evil powers and stay away from negative energy. From ancient times to today, Chinese people rely on these methods to protect themselves from spirits and evil forces.

decapitate chicken

In some areas of China (especially South China), people cut off the head of a chicken and throw it on the roof. It is believed that this keeps away evil spirits. Along with throwing the chicken’s head on the roof, its blood is sprinkled on the courtyard of the house and also applied on the walls. It is believed that this removes negativity and improves luck. In traditional funerals in China, chickens are often used to bring salvation to the soul of the deceased.

The practice is said to date back to the Han dynasty (206 BC–220 BC), when wooden chickens were buried with the dead. However, in China, the rooster is considered an auspicious bird that connects the living and the dead. Besides, the crowing of the rooster is also seen as a positive symbol.

salt and rice remedy

To ward off evil spirits, the people of China consider the solution of salt and rice to be very effective. It is believed that salt and rice scare away evil spirits. According to Feng Shui or Chinese geomancy, salt purifies negative energy and rice is considered a symbol of calming the soul. That’s why people sprinkle salt and rice in every room of the house.

Especially when people enter a new house, they do this to get relief from long-standing illness and also to ward off bad luck. Many Hong Kong zombie movies depict glutinous rice being used to treat bites from ghosts or monsters. In some rural areas of China, at the time of funeral, the family of the deceased scatter salt and rice around the grave for the peace of the soul.

fire jumping tradition

This folk custom celebrated during New Year or Spring Festival is quite popular and traditional. In this people jump over the burning fire. According to folklore, the crackling sound of a burning fire drives away evil spirits and bad luck, so people do this. However, people also do it to wish for a good harvest and happiness and prosperity at home.

Hungry Ghost Festival

This festival is celebrated to honor ancestors or dead souls. The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is considered the time of ghosts. It is believed that spirits roam on earth at this time. At this time people offer things like sweets, fruits, food, flowers and incense sticks to their ancestors. However, this is not a fear but a symbol of respect, honor and connection towards the ancestors. Apart from China, this festival is also celebrated in countries like Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma, who has made films like ‘Satya’, ‘Neckid’, ‘Rangeela’, and ‘Dangerous’, has raised many questions on social media on social media on the modified order given by the Supreme Court about stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.

Question from Ram Gopal Varma’s Supreme Court

Ram Gopal Varma released a post on the social media platform X, on which he wrote, “The Supreme Court has said that the dogs (road) dogs should be caught first and vaccinated them and then they should be released back from where they were caught.

He questioned how the vaccination certificate of dogs would be saved from being cut or killed on the road? Will the dog decide whether to cut his medical file or not? That is, dogs will not be taken anywhere else. They will be treated and released back there.

He also asked that we have enough infrastructure, staff and budget to check the aggressive or rabies infected dogs will not be released?

Ram Gopal Varma also asked these questions

The director asked, “Will the mental health of every dog ​​be recorded? If a dog bites a moment and shakes the next moment, is he aggressive or friendly? Will the team of lawyers, animal lovers, doctors and psychologists of dogs decide their mental state?” He further said, “Will the Supreme Court set up thousands of special courts that will decide whether a dog is released or not?”

Verma also raised questions on the order of the court’s ‘public place to give food in the dog feeding made’ and ‘food at the designated places’. He asked, “Who will decide this determined place and on what basis? And will Street Dogs get a Google map to show the way to these places?”

Verma also asked whether there was any plan to stop migration from one area of ​​dogs from one area to another? Finally, he wanted to know from the Supreme Court that why the order does not mention the victims of dog attacks, especially the slain children?

Ram Gopal Varma has requested the Supreme Court to consider all these aspects, so that the final order is in the interest of all.

According to the order of the court, the street dogs will be captured and left again in the same area after sterilization, vaccination and deworming from where they were caught. However, this rule will not apply to crazy (rabies infected) or aggressive behavior dogs.
