These statues reflect the great importance that people in China attach to spiritual peace and psychological health
There is a unique cultural and social custom in China that involves two ugly statues that thousands of people slap.
These statues are located in the city of “Guangzhou” in China. These statues are called “slapping statues” and their purpose is to cleanse people’s minds and remove negative energy.
These statues are usually made in ugly shapes so that people can get rid of their “negative emotions” and “anger”. There is a belief in China that when a person releases negative energy inside him, he gains mental peace and health.
In different cultural traditions in China, other methods are also used in some areas to relieve anger, such as throwing stones at trees or slapping such statues. In China, such actions are seen as traditional “brain cleansing.”
The statues have become so popular that thousands of people, especially those suffering from depression, frustration, or anger, use them to calm their minds.
The number of such statues has increased in various cities in China, and it has also become a kind of local tourist attraction where people come to express their feelings.
