Squirrel said somewhat unhappily when he heard that, "Junior Brother, can you not pour cold water on us? Master, tell him that it's real and not fake."
Fangzheng patted Squirrel on the head, "You guys, why must you fight over this? It's only a traditional custom. Many a time, some customs from our traditions might not be real, but the moral message behind it is good. As the saying goes, always having hope will bring hope. Sprinkling wormwood water on the body might not be able to cleanse away our bad luck, but it can psychologically suggest to someone's subconscious that their future will be better. Therefore, as some people become more hopeful and have something to look forward to, the worries and troubles that usually plague them can be attenuated. Their mood will turn better, and they will have something to strive for. Their days will naturally only turn for the better then."
