Abstract

The culture of superstition is an important part of the spiritual deposits and cultural heritage of the peoples of the world. It has a unique social function and cultural charm, and is of great significance in realizing cultural diversity and promoting the progress of human civilization. In this paper, the superstitious cultures of China and Russia are selected as the objects of study, and through the comparative analysis of the superstitious cultures of Chinese and Russian nationalities, we explore their uniqueness and commonality, and explain their far-reaching significance to the development of society and the progress of human civilization. Through the study, this paper finds that the national superstitious cultures in the cultural background of the two countries have great differences in the content and form of beliefs, but all of them contain common cultural characteristics and spiritual connotations.
