Features: Taboos are an interesting belief custom and a spiritual defense phenomenon of mysticism and small groups. They are like an invisible net, floating around people and wandering among different ethnic groups in the world. The ancients said, "When entering a country, inquire about taboos; when entering a region, follow local customs." If we do not understand or respect the customs and habits of different ethnic groups, many unnecessary troubles may arise in our interactions. What are taboos? How do they arise? How are they passed down? What is their current state? What are their positive and negative effects? What is the essence of taboos? What is their future? These are the questions this book attempts to explore.
