Why has the custom of stopping the sedan chair become a bad habit now?

In the old countryside, there were various customs, most of which were used to express good wishes for other people. However, with the changes of the times and the development of society, in this society, most of the rural customs are very few, and even if some customs still exist, they have also changed the original taste and become what people call "bad habits". For example, the following rural custom of "stopping the sedan chair", stopping the sedan chair means that when someone's wedding car passes through a place, it will be stopped by passers-by, and the owner will be happy to send candy and other items to these people, and the behavior of these passers-by is also called "pleasing".

But now the smell has changed, because these people will ask them for money or cigarettes after stopping the wedding car, and some people will not give way if they don't get what they want. <>

Everyone knows that almost everyone knows in the countryside, and in the previous rural customs, "stopping the sedan chair" is very ritualistic, people will put a few benches in the middle of the road early, and there are old people, children, etc. sitting on it waiting for the wedding car to come, and after the wedding car comes, it will also take the initiative to stop. After the wedding car stops, people will ask for gifts from the people in the wedding car, and these people are not asking for valuables, but for a celebration. <>

But now this custom has changed a lot, after many people stop the wedding car, they are not satisfied with some candy, melon seeds, etc., but have become some people will ask for a few boxes of cigarettes, and some people will even ask for cash, if they don't give it, let the wedding car pass. There are even some old people who stop the wedding car, and at this time they can't do anything to these old people, so they can only try to meet their requirements. So in this situation, people are more and more disgusted with such "customs".

Even in some places, "stopping the sedan chair" is already an organized and purposeful behavior, and these people specialize in acting on some good days of marriage. On the day of marriage, people often want to avoid disasters, so over time, these organizations have become more and more and more rampant.

Because this custom is not beneficial, it is useless to stay, and the sedan chair itself is also a destructive act, which is not conducive to the smooth progress of marriage, so it has become a bad habit.

Because people nowadays are too materialistic, they were originally looking for a lottery, but now it has become an excuse for some people to extort money.

This custom was originally intended to make everyone lively and make the wedding atmosphere more festive. But now the "sedan chair" is just to ask for money, and if you don't give it, everyone will feel stingy, and many people hate this custom.
