What interesting special skills do Chinese people have?

They talk about reincarnation, past life and next life, and will give face to any god or ideology, but deep down, what they care about most is always the daily necessities, honor and disgrace, wealth, a wife and children, and a warm bed in this life.
To put it bluntly, "Anything that can't help me live a good life is just fancy stuff."
Whether you are an atheist or a theist, God is not the first priority, but yourself.
We pray to gods and worship Buddhas, but we never belong to them.
Pray for rain when there is a drought. If it doesn’t rain, then the God of Thunder, the Goddess of Lightning and the Dragon King of the East Sea should get lost!
If you still can’t get pregnant after praying to Guanyin, then go to any major hospitals.
The fortune teller said that you are the reincarnation of Wenquxing. You smiled, said thank you, and then went on to memorize five years of college entrance examinations and three years of simulations.
I have burned paper and lit incense for Zhao Gongming, and you have to fulfill my wish and make me rich, otherwise I will go to find Guan Yu next time.
They knelt down to worship the Three Pure Ones, went to church to take communion, met lamas to listen to Buddhist chanting, and saw Taoist priests telling fortunes, but they did not miss out on kowtow to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival and the Spring Festival.
As the saying goes, "If you like ghosts and gods, keep them at a distance."
Since King Wu defeated King Zhou, religious gods and Buddhas have never become mainstream in the land of Jiuzhou.
Ghosts, gods, afterlife, and reincarnation are nothing more than bricks serving real life for the typical Chinese.
If God would destroy the world just because people are not pious, as in the stories of Abrahamic monotheism, then the Chinese would let God know that the world will not be destroyed, mankind will not be destroyed, and only God himself will be destroyed.
For example, Dayu controlled the flood, Nuwa repaired the sky, Houyi shot down the sun, Jingwei filled the sea, Yugong moved the mountains, split the mountain to save his mother, and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
For example, "I want this sky, I want this sky, it can no longer cover my eyes, I want this earth, it can no longer bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, I want all Buddhas to disappear into thin air!"
"If you never come back, then you never come back!"
Or what is in the middle school political textbooks: "Understand the world, change the world", "Man can conquer nature", "Act according to the rules", "Proceed from reality in everything", "Analyze specific issues concretely".
Our beliefs, whether they are ethics, morality or underlying philosophy, have always been based on human beings themselves, on real life and on this world, without the need to resort to fictional concepts such as God, Allah, Jehovah, Tathagata, Amitabha or Brahmita.

The land cannot be left empty, you have to plant something.
Building a nuclear power plant in Pakistan, and growing some vegetables on the flat land. Do you see the two round nuclear power units in the back?
Later we started raising chickens...and they were ready to eat.
Ningde Nuclear Power Plant, grow some white tea.
Hainan Nuclear Power, grow some mangoes.
CNNC is also holding a lottery on Weibo to give netizens a chance to win the mangoes produced by one of Haihe's trees in a year. The mangoes you win are big and round. It depends on whether you dare to eat them.

Some people say that Chinese people don’t believe in ghosts and gods. In fact, it’s not true. They just have quantum superstition.
Example: Left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster.
result:
Good things happened - oh my god.
Bad things happen – it’s superstition.
Moreover, we don’t know whether jumping for wealth means getting rich or losing money, and jumping for disaster means disaster is coming or we can escape it.
It is also amazing that the Chinese people (most of whom are Han) can always switch quickly between theism and atheism.
For example, many people are afraid of ghosts, but almost everyone is convinced that there are no ghosts in the world.
This is a contradiction, but the Han people did not explode in this contradiction. Instead, they watched horror movies when they should, were afraid to walk at night when they should, and cursed all kinds of ghosts and gods when they should.
If you just browse the books on Qidian.com, you can see a lot of jokes made up about ancient gods, but the authors have never been afraid that these gods will cause trouble for them.
Because they are actually in quantum superstition.
That is to say, they are in a chaotic intermediate state between superstition and non-superstition. Before things happen, they don’t know whether to believe it or not. If something happens that is beneficial to them, then they believe it. If something happens that is not beneficial to them, then screw you.

It seems that they are easy to bully, able to be trampled and humiliated by invaders, and able to endure any suffering with their faces facing the earth and their backs facing the sky all their lives.
It seems that they can never be killed or wiped out. When they are forced into a corner, the rabbits will even dig up people's ancestral graves.
The building is about to collapse, the nation is in danger, and it is on the verge of destruction, but it is always tenacious like weeds, growing again in the spring breeze, stretching for thousands of miles, never to be extinct.
It's really magical. This epidemic is no exception. The Chinese people's sense of national belonging and sense of honor and disgrace always erupt at a certain time, like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, rushing endlessly.

I saw a sentence somewhere else:
With one hand he cultivated the fields, and with the other he rose up in rebellion.
Activate traditional skills: rise up in rebellion.
Conditions for launching: The Chinese nation is in crisis.
Skill effect: overwhelming and invincible.
It feels quite good.

Basically, any festival can be explained by reunion and eating...
Let’s eat some rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival reunion.
Let’s have some mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.
During the Qingming Festival, let’s have a family reunion and eat suckling pig.
Let’s reunite during the Chinese New Year and have a reunion dinner.
Let’s have some glutinous rice dumplings during the Lantern Festival reunion.
Let’s have some dumplings during the Cold Food Festival.
Let’s reunite and eat Laba on Laba Festival.
......
There is no way around it.
Chinese culture is extensive and profound
Which one do you think I should believe?
If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman - a smile will make all the grudges go away
Man Proposes, God Disposes - Man Conquers Nature
As long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood - It is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace
Patience brings peace - act when it's time to act
All things are inferior, only reading is superior - a scholar is useless

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated - a real man can bend and stretch
The clear will be clear, the turbid will be turbid - those who are close to vermilion will be red, those who are close to ink will be black
A rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow - good things should be kept within the family
Ginger is still spicy with age - the disciple is better than the master
A good horse never turns back to eat the grass it has already turned back to

It is easy to find the unique skills of the Chinese. When I first came to China, I felt the first unique skill of the Chinese people - enthusiasm.
1. Passion
The first city I visited was Shanghai. When I was in Shanghai, there was a market that specialized in selling high-end imitation goods. I liked it very much and would go there to hang out whenever I had nothing to do.
One time I met a boss who I got along very well with. Although it was our first meeting, we had a great time chatting. Before we knew it, the chat lasted until the evening. The boss invited me to dinner and drinks, and finally I stayed at his house!
How could he be so enthusiastic towards someone he met for the first time? I was so moved at that time.
I know that it is difficult to describe the Sino-Japanese relationship in one sentence, and many people are disgusted with Japan. But many Chinese people I met still treated me warmly, which touched me a lot.
We often encounter various enthusiastic actions in daily life.
For example, when I was riding an electric bike during the day and accidentally turned on the lights, the community security guards and aunties on the roadside who passed by would remind me loudly: The lights are on, turn them off quickly.
But sometimes, the enthusiasm is a little dense.
I remember once I wanted to buy frozen French fries at the supermarket and fry them at home, but the cashier told me not to buy these things because they were a waste. I could just buy some potatoes and cut them up and fry them at home, which would save money and be healthier.
Another memorable experience was having dinner with the aunts.
They kept urging me to eat more food and drink more soup. Even though I said I was full, they kept putting all kinds of food into my bowl.
Oh...it's so passionate.
2. Sensitive to numbers
This happens quite often in supermarkets.
The skills of "making change" and "rounding up" are probably not available in many countries. I only encountered them for the first time after coming to China. I have to say that this is more convenient.
Another surprising thing: everyone can remember their ID number...
I guess I use it often, so I remember it in advance in case I need it.
In addition to ID numbers, there are also phone numbers. Anyway, all kinds of numbers seem to be easy to remember for Chinese people.
3. Quick acceptance of new technologies
I don’t know if you have noticed that when a new technology emerges, China is always one of the first countries to widely popularize it. And unlike Japan, the people here do not have much resistance to the new technology, even the elderly.
When smartphones were everywhere in China, many people in Japan were still using flip phones. Older Japanese uncles were even completely resistant to it because they believed that new technology was unsafe.
After smartphones, mobile payments quickly became popular. Consumption became fast, and the money in the phone disappeared even faster.
Later, even the grandfather begging on the street changed to QR code...
4. Amazing athletic ability
Chinese people attach great importance to physical health. Every day on the way to and from get off work, you can see old men and women exercising when passing by the community.
High heels don’t hinder aunt’s movements at all!
It is no exaggeration to say that some uncles may be in better shape than me. Some people hold a handgrip strengthener in their hands when they walk, or stretch while walking. I admire their perseverance.
5. One thing for many uses
Another interesting feature is that Chinese objects often appear in unexpected places.
I still remember this vividly! The unused razor was used to shave the hair off the pig's trotters, hahahaha!
I have seen some exquisite packaging boxes used for storage at my friends’ houses, which saves money and is environmentally friendly.
But what I least expected was——
However, rather than saying "one thing can be used for multiple purposes", it can be seen that the Chinese are more flexible in their thinking. After returning to Japan, these differences became more obvious. The Chinese will cater to the different environments and look for opportunities, setting up funeral services and various stores near hospitals, while the Japanese are more conservative in their thinking. Therefore, after returning to Japan, I may have accidentally discovered many business opportunities...
