What are the taboos for picking up money in folk customs?
As the saying goes, in our life, many things that fall on the ground have certain disasters. Some superstitious people will throw money representing their disasters on the ground, expecting others to pick them up and take them away. So when we see money on the roadside, we must pay attention to the relevant folk taboos and don't pick it up casually, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable.
What are the taboos for picking up money in folk customs?
1. Don't pick up the deliberately folded money: When we find that the money has been deliberately folded and put on the side of the road, don't pick it up, because it is likely that someone deliberately dropped it, and the purpose is naturally to eliminate disasters. If we pick up the money, it is very likely that we will often have bad luck in our later life.
2. Don't pick up money with too large a face value: When we see money with too large a face value on the roadside, we'd better not pick it up. First, money itself already represents the good luck of others. If we pick it up, our own luck will decline. Secondly, if the face value exceeds a certain amount, it is illegal and may even be investigated for criminal responsibility.
3. Don't pick up the wrapped money: generally, losing money means losing change, but if it is specially wrapped, it means that the money has a special purpose, which may be life-saving money. So we'd better not accept this kind of money. After picking it up, it will inevitably damage our own wealth and lead to a decline in our wealth.
