Recently, there was a shocking scene in Fujian's Youshen activity, where someone actually imitated Zhao Shizi, like a devil dancing wildly above a sacred temple, which aroused public anger and controversy. People were indignant at this and outraged by this disrespect to the gods. This event is like a mirror that reflects our attitude and respect for traditional culture. 
Zhao Shizi, the son of the local god Wufu Emperor of Fujian, has a lofty status in the hearts of the locals, like bright stars shining on the earth. His image is a sacred symbol in people's hearts and the focus of worship. However, in this event, some people dared to use Zhao Shizi's image as a plaything to carry out so-called cosplay. This kind of behavior is not only a blasphemy against the gods, but also a disrespect for traditional culture. 
Zhao Shizi doesn't like to go out on weekdays and rarely participates in activities, so it is extremely difficult to invite him. However, it is undoubtedly a desecration of his dignity and authority that someone offended him and cosplayed in his image. What's even more puzzling is that the person who cosplayed Zhao Shizi was wearing the clothes of a five-clawed golden dragon. Traditionally, the image of the deity is represented by a golden body, not by a human being. The gods came down to observe the world, not to be imitated and made fun of. 
This kind of behavior makes people wonder, do the people who cosplay Zhao Shizi understand Zhao Shizi's true wishes and feelings? Perhaps, such an act is just for the sake of traffic and hype, without taking into account the dignity and solemnity of the gods. This raises questions about their motives and their reverence for the gods. 
We can also look back at similar incidents. For example, Liu Tao prayed for permission from Mazu before playing Mazu, which shows respect and reverence for the gods. And now, the people who cosplay Zhao Shizi acted without Zhao Shizi's consent, does this make people doubt their true attitude and reverence for the gods? As a foreigner, although I am not from Fujian, I believe that the folk culture of each place should be cherished and faithfully passed on to the original appearance. These cultures are the essence and uniqueness of a place and should not be a means of chasing traffic and hype. We cannot blaspheme the gods without their consent, let alone trample on the bottom line of tradition and culture. 
This incident has sparked extensive social discussion and reflection. People have begun to think about how to better protect and inherit folk culture and prevent it from being eroded by commercialization and entertainment. On the one hand, social organizations should strengthen the protection and publicity of folk culture, so that more people can understand and respect the value and significance of these cultures. On the other hand, individuals should also consciously abide by the bottom line of morality and not harm and blaspheme the gods by pursuing short-term fame and fortune. 
For those who cosplay Zhao Shizi, we should also give some education and guidance. They may not be motivated by malice, but by a lack of proper knowledge and understanding of folk culture. By strengthening education and awareness-raising, explaining to them the dignity and solemnity of the gods, helping them better understand and respect folk culture, and avoiding the recurrence of similar disrespectful behavior. 
It is everyone's responsibility to protect and pass on folk culture. Whether it is a social organization or an individual, we should actively participate in the protection and inheritance of folk culture. It is only through joint efforts that we can preserve our traditional culture and give it new vitality and vitality in modern society. Let us work together to protect our folk culture and let it shine forever in the precipitation of the years.
