FANATICAL CHINESE.
SUPERSTITION RULES THE RACE FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE.
All Business and Family Mattees Di- rectly Controlled by This Unreason- ing Influence, Which Makes Brutes of Its Slavish Devotees.
No race in the wide world is more sontrolled by superstitious notions than ‘he Chinese. They enter into every act of a Chinaman’s life, and their infiu- tnce is more lasting than that of his re- livion. He cannot move hand or foot without their agency, and from the earliest moment of his life down to the las* detail in connection with his burial the:e power and influence are the guid- ing motives of his acts. All business and trolled by superstitious sentiments, both rich and poor, young and oid, being slaves to their force.
To the average Chinaman his religion is a mere negative factor in his mode of life, to be followed or disregarded at will, but notrue son of Han dares to act otherwise than in accordance with the strict precepts of those spiritual powers which directly control his life.
There are some amusing superstitions connected with Chinese entertainments. A dinner party is an ordeal which once experienced is never forgotten. It con- sists of from 406 to 50 distinct courses
a
family matters are directly con- |
interest or in any business transactions where men are concerned. ‘‘ Women tie knots,’’ eays the Chinese proverb, ‘‘ Let them remain at home.’”’
No funeral can take place until as- trologers and professional fortune tellers have been consulted. These unscrupu- lous diviners decide the place of burial, and in the event of disagreement no final interment can take place. This ac- counts for the number of unburied cof- fins which are seen about the country districts in China. Sometimes the coffin is temporarily deposited in a temple or kept in the house of the heir of the de- ceased. Among the poor as cften as not it is conveyed to some sheltered spot und covered with a mat,
When in course of time (by aid of additional fees) the diviners can report that all objections to final burial are re- moved, the funeral takes place amid re- joicing and profane excesses. Tha mode of propitiation generally prescribed by astrologers is the parchase of some stone or piece of iron, to which an elaborate ritual of prayer and sacrifice is made, or, if the client is wea)thy, the building of a pagoda is suggested, in connection with which the mercenary fortune teller doubtless reaps & large commission.
The last species of superstition to which we will call attention forces us to place China among the half civilized and brutal nations. One of these super- stitions is that the soul of a dying per- son takes possession of the bed and room in which the invalid is lying. To obvi- ate such a curse as this the relatives of the dying person, as soon as they per- ceive his end approaching, forcibly re- move him from his bed and place him almost naked upon a board. If by chance aman should expire in his bed, it, to- gether with all the furniture in the " room, must be burned and many atone-
ments offered before the room is consid- ered fit for habitation again. Many strange and inhuman ideas are ' associated with the illness and death of children. If a child sickens and dies be- | fore the age of 12 years, its last mo- ments are hastened by the horrible cruelty of its parents. So long as hope is possible the parents do their utmost to save their child, but as soon as the doctors abandon hope the child is strip- | ped naked and placed against the outer door of the house. When the en@é nas come, the corpse is thrown out into tue street tobe picked up by the passing dead cart. The reason for this brutality is this: If a family loses a child before if has grown to maturity, its parents refuse to regard it as their offspring, but ratber as some evi] spirit who has worked its way into their home in order to bring ruin and misfortune upon it and them.
and occupies the greater portion of a |
day. During the whole of these repasts and notwithstanding the endless variety of dishes served the invited guest re- tains the same plate throughout. The explanation of this strange custom is an old proverb, which has now become a superstition, that ‘‘he who changes the plates kills the housewife.’’
Chinese proverbs explain several of the superstitious notions with regard to women. It is considered unlucky fora woman to mix with the builders of a
house or other edifice during its erec- tion, and to avoid any possibility of one
straying into the premises all approaches are carefully guarded by watchmen, and a fence is erected around the pro- posed building as soon as its founda- tions are laid.
The explanation of this is the saying, ‘‘Women mix ill with wood, and death lives in house r whose founda- tions a woman has walked.’’ There is a similar horror of the fair sex interfer- ing with any public matter of national
