00:00Pudu is a culture of separation of work and family.
00:02It is a kind of collective activity.
00:05Because every year,
00:07everyone is busy with their own lives.
00:10When the 7th of July is Pudu,
00:11everyone gathers together to worship.
00:13The winter is long, the summer is short.
00:15If you say in Guangxi,
00:16Guangxi is a holiday.
00:18Because the Mid-Autumn Festival
00:19is actually a festival that is regarded as a cultural heritage.
00:22Pudu Shenhui,
00:23after all,
00:24is a Chinese folk custom
00:25that advocates the separation of work and family.
00:28In the last episode,
00:28we talked about the significance of the 7th of July
00:30and the Mid-Autumn Festival,
00:32and broke the taboo of breaking the lunar calendar from the perspective of folk customs.
00:34In this episode,
00:35we will focus on one of the key activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival,
00:38Pudu Shenhui.
00:39So why do we hold Pudu Shenhui in the 7th of July?
00:42The Red Dot team visited a Pudu Shenhui in Kuala Lumpur
00:45to get to know it through the city committee.
00:47The main reason why we hold Pudu Shenhui
00:48is that we are trying to
00:50reduce some of the
00:53bad deeds and bad deeds
00:55that we have committed.
00:57So that they can be better
00:59and better reincarnated in the future.
01:01Pudu is a
01:02division of labor and food.
01:03Since childhood,
01:05we have been doing charity work
01:07to help the elderly,
01:08the disabled,
01:09and disabled people,
01:11including schools.
01:13We also do it for those in need.
01:15At the scene of this Pudu Shenhui,
01:16you can also see different offerings and plaques.
01:19The names of the deceased are listed on the plaque,
01:21the name of the deceased,
01:22and the name of the deceased.
01:25The deceased refers to a relative who has passed away.
01:27The spirit refers to a child who has passed away.
01:29The ten brothers refer to the five souls.
01:31The so-called debtors refer to...
01:34We believe that
01:36or we have seen
01:38a lot of people who owe money
01:43or human feelings.
01:44So we don't know.
01:45So we want to say
01:47that it's not a debt that we can't pay back.
01:52Because we don't know
01:53what we owe.
01:54So we do it with peace of mind.
01:57And it seems to be reassuring.
02:01We hold this kind of Chinese New Year Pudu Fahui
02:03in different industries,
02:04different residential areas,
02:05different commercial areas,
02:06or some non-governmental organizations.
02:08There will be this Chinese New Year Pudu Fahui.
02:10When everyone gathers together for a meal,
02:13we will eat and drink together.
02:14We will warm each other's hearts
02:16and care for each other.
02:18So it's a very good
02:19community-based activity.
02:20The entire key goal of Yilan Shenhui
02:24is to sum up the four words
02:27in the hand of the Grand Master.
02:28Separate one from the other.
02:30In terms of the current concept,
02:32it is to separate the redundant,
02:34the useful,
02:34and the useful from the other.
02:35Divide it out to get the fullness of your heart.
02:42China is like this.
02:43In many places,
02:44you can still see
02:45that they will still
02:47take all kinds of offerings
02:50to thank the ancestors of the street area.
02:52At the same time,
02:54when it's over,
02:55they will distribute it to people in the area.
02:58At this time,
02:59they will also collect a lot of money
03:00and turn this money
03:01into scholarships for the entire area
03:03for the children.
03:04But of course,
03:06in order to protect the environment,
03:07they will reduce
03:09a lot of incense and paper.
03:13But you can still see
03:14the tradition of the Ming Dynasty
03:16still going on.
03:17So back to the beginning,
03:18why do we need incense and paper
03:20to worship our good brothers on Chinese New Year?
03:22Wang Chen Fa, Director of the Malaysia Institute of Ethics, said
03:24that in fact, the ancient people did this
03:25because of the climate change in the summer and autumn,
03:27and it also involves the land that is planted by agriculture.
03:30The reason for burning a lot of paper
03:31is to
03:32first, dry the air,
03:33second, avoid pests,
03:35third, at the same time,
03:38I'm talking about organic paper.
03:40Organic paper dust
03:41can also re-enter the land
03:44where it was planted
03:46to simplify it and fertilize it.
03:48So we also burn a lot of incense.
03:50The reason for burning a lot of incense
03:51is that the incense of ancient times
03:53is medicinal incense
03:54and has the effect of burning incense.
03:56It can also dry the air,
03:58drive away pests,
03:59eliminate viruses,
04:01and eliminate bacteria.
04:02At the same time,
04:03let everyone accept the kind of incense
04:05that burns the air.
04:06It's a bit like what we call
04:08incense therapy now.
04:09But today,
04:10if you are in a city with a dense population,
04:12you are not facing the soil
04:15that can be digested and converted into nutrients.
04:18Then everything you burn is not organic,
04:20and everything you throw away is not organic.
04:23So is it the burden of the earth?
04:25With the evolution of time,
04:27how to express respect to the gods and good brothers
04:30without adding to the burden of the mother earth
04:32is a problem that we all need to reflect on.
04:34But at present,
04:35there is another more worrying phenomenon in the Central Plains society.
04:37The biggest key problem now is
04:41whether we have inherited the entire Central Plains tradition
04:44or we have evolved it.
04:47We thought that
04:49something terrible would come out at this time.
04:51Then because of its terror,
04:53we wanted to use it
04:55and buy it.
04:57We thought that a cup or two of rice
04:59could make us make a lot of money.
05:02Then we became
05:04living in contradiction
05:06and full of investment and adventure.
05:09But there is no moral judgment at all.
05:12Take advantage of the Central Plains Festival
05:13to express gratitude to the gods in the city.
05:15At the same time, remember the people in society who need help.
05:17It was originally a good deed.
05:19I hope we can all remind ourselves of the original intention of the Plains society.
05:22Friends who have been to the Plains society
05:24must have heard of the king of ghosts in this ceremony.
05:28What kind of role does he play?
05:30Stay tuned for the next video.
