Superstition is to believe in confusion and blindly believe.
The meaning of "superstition" tends to be "blindly believing and not understanding". Therefore, in theory, human beings may have the concept of "superstition" about anything, and even in the field of science, there is "scientific superstition". But there are important differences between science and superstition, belief or religion. Science requires skepticism in essence, and openly advocates skepticism in practice. Skepticism requires analytical thinking and critical thinking, and it requires to doubt everything, that is, not to believe anything that has not been proved. For things that have been proved, we should also doubt the limitations of time and space and the accuracy of observation. Unconfirmed theories are called hypotheses or conjectures, which are likely to be proved false. False assumptions or conjectures must be discarded.
"Knowledge is limited" and quite limited. When people face a huge unknown space, they often put forward their own explanations. The ancients were in awe of Lei Xin, so they put forward their own explanation of "Raytheon, Heaven" and worshipped it. Later people called it superstition. Superstition means that people blindly believe or worship things. Superstition in a narrow sense, according to the established habits after liberation in China, refers to people's thoughts and behaviors of believing in astrology, divination, geomantic omen, fate and ghosts and gods.
Superstition activities generally refer to folk activities such as gods, witches, fortune telling and geomantic omen, such as lottery, divination, fortune telling, geomantic omen, exorcism, and jumping.
Superstition originally refers to people's blind belief or worship of things, such as books, money and so on.
Nowadays, people generally believe that superstition is caused by having a special interest in something because they have no ability to distinguish and can't tell the essence of things, and they really believe it, and then believe it from themselves to their beliefs, even to the point of worship and no doubt. Superstitious people tend to be fascinated by something or phenomenon, and then indulge in it and believe in it. Superstitious people often indulge themselves at will, blindly attaching things and statements of "belief" and "worship" to positive and disdainful actions.
