Why do Hong Kong and Taiwan people especially like watching Feng Shui?

People in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province believe in Feng Shui ghosts and gods, probably because Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province were far away from the Central Plains in ancient times, so it was difficult for wars to reach these places since ancient times, so the traditional customs of these places were relatively intact. In ancient times, people generally depended on the sky for food. They didn't have a good understanding of the power of nature, so they would have some fears about some phenomena in nature. This is a habitual idea that has existed since ancient times. With the passage of time, the fear of nature will catalyze the emergence of substitutes for some incomprehensible things, that is, ghosts and gods. So now, in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, which are relatively peaceful, people will believe in Feng Shui, ghosts and gods and so on. In fact, they are in awe of what is beyond their ability.

Especially from some habitual expressions of people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, we can see that the tradition of believing in Feng Shui ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times. Most people in Hong Kong can speak Cantonese, while most people in Taiwan Province Province speak Minnan, so both Cantonese and Minnan have a very obvious feature, that is, compared with Mandarin, they retain some features of classical Chinese. As the carrier of traditional culture, language is easy to express some habitual expressions in traditional culture. Then, with the continuation of idioms, the Feng Shui spirit that ancestors believed in before will also be spread to the next generation with the continuation of these traditional languages. If passed down from generation to generation, most people in Hong Kong and Taiwan will believe in the theory of Feng Shui ghosts and gods.

In addition, because Hong Kong and Taiwan Province Province are far away from the center of ancient wars, many refugees will flood into the south, so Taiwan Province Province and Hong Kong, which are located in the south and less affected by ancient wars, have become shelters for some intellectuals. Some traditional cultures will naturally be brought from the Central Plains to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they are relatively well preserved. Therefore, it is natural for people in Hong Kong and Taiwan to believe in geomantic ghosts and gods.

But last but not least, Feng Shui ghosts and gods do not exist. We still have to believe in science, which is also the responsibility of young people.
