Hundreds of people pushed down the gates of the company to "snatch" 300k cash and 5kg of rice

The full moon of the 7th lunar month every year is the time when people rush to the street to "jerk her soul", but the image of people jostling and pinching each other to grab items to the point of knocking down gate 1 of the company recently made fans bewildered.

The custom of worshipping the spirit girl, a traditional belief, is one of the two major feasts on the 7th full moon in addition to the Wulan ceremony, which usually takes place on the 15th or 16th day of the lunar calendar. Every full moon, the homeowner will prepare offering trays, along with many bills of different denominations for passersby to scramble to pick up. The purpose of this is to create a happy atmosphere for everyone, along with praying for luck and prosperity for business.

It is worth mentioning that in recent years, this custom has become more and more "degenerate", often appearing people pouring into the streets to steal offerings. Many people even because of greed are ready to defy everything, not caring about the safety of themselves and everyone around them to "jerk her soul" to "jerk her soul". Typically, the story that sparked a wave of controversy by a company on the day of the spirit worship recently.

The incident stemmed from an earlier announcement by a representative of the company: At 16:00 on August 31, the company will prepare 500 gifts, each consisting of 5 kilograms of rice and 300,000 cash to give to the people. Accompanying the announcement was a reminder to people to queue, not jostle for safety.

However, when it came time to distribute gifts, people seemed to forget what the female employee had said. Not until the start time, a large number of people appeared at the waiting gate area, causing the company to rely on the civil defense team to ensure order.

It seemed that everything was going well, but unexpectedly, people increasingly lost their temper and jostled each other in defiance. Young and old, no one will yield to anyone, determined to run fast to "snatch" as many items as possible.

Witnessing the incident, the civil defense forces could not do anything more, other than try their best to prevent people from flooding in. After a while people pushed in and out, as a result, the gate collapsed, the people did not stop screaming and jostling each other, making the scene chaotic. This scene makes many people can't help but think of images in foreign Zombie movies.

Also on this occasion, noted by the reporter Lao Dong, at Nhieu Tam Street (District 5, Ho Chi Minh City), hundreds of people came to wait early in front of the Chinese trading shop to "snatch the soul". Among them, some people also carry rackets, trays ... even a big umbrella to catch items.

When the owner of the merchant household begins the "ritual" of spreading money, it is also the time when the horrific images occur. Hundreds of people crowded and shoved each other to "jerk her soul" leading to brawls, obstructing traffic and endangering lives. Receiving the information, the authorities who arrived in time were also unable to completely disperse the chaotic crowd scrambling for offerings.

"It's so jerky every year, so disorderly. I think I should only offer food, not spread money because this is very easy to fight, fight and cause danger," said a resident living on Nhieu Tam Street. The cars passed by in a flash, the arguing, screaming incessantly... all detract from the beauty inherent in this custom.

In the past, the target of "soul jerking" was usually children competing against each other to see who got more items. Therefore, children often wait when the host finishes offering, the incense will come to get food. According to folklore, if the offering tray is "snatched" clean by children, it is considered lucky. In addition, many people also believe that children who eat offerings will always be healthy, not sick.

But gradually, the soul snatch became more and more "corrupt", becoming a "lucrative prey" for avaricious people, causing a chaotic image in the heart of the city. If this phenomenon is not controlled, there is a potential risk of problems causing insecurity and social order.

It is known that every time the spirit worship ceremony ends, people often burn votive gold, spread rice and pour wine on the roadside. They conceived that this ritual would save the wretched, struggling, wandering soul without a place of worship. These families are business and trading households. They do this with the notion that the spirits won't mess around. The bigger the business, the more generous the ceremony is for luck.
