(China's funeral) It seems barbaric to us, and the streets are crowded with pedestrians. (Like a farce)?
How can I put it? Funerals in rural areas of China are full of lingering flavor of feudal autocracy and feudal ethics, such as when crying is like acting (for example, when you go to a funeral, you need to fake a cry first, or you won't be a "person" if you don't conform to etiquette) (and how many worshippers you have seen before, I wonder if they are extinct now), so as to conform to their "etiquette" and ethics will make them change.
Funeral is mainly a kind of farewell etiquette, which can be said goodbye seriously or, like westerners, laughed and smiled in a philosophical way. It's best not to cry in a big mess, as Mr. Lu Xun said, "I just think they are noisy."
As for sadness, it is mainly your own business, so there is no need to show it to others in public. This giant baby's psychology of acting is ridiculous! We can refer to the deep structure of China culture.
As a bystander, I agree with Einstein's observation. It is difficult for people to make rational judgments, because people are easily influenced by feelings, and people's instincts are selfish, all for protecting their own national interests. At this time, the views of onlookers who have nothing to do with you are often the most sober and objective.
