In unofficial history in the Qing Dynasty, there was a zombie story in the narrative (the author was the owner of Dong Xuan). Roughly speaking, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village built on the mountain in the west of southern Hunan. A rogue in the village was poisoned by ptomaine for robbing a tomb and was rescued by an old man, but was beaten by the whole village for doing something wrong again and then left to fend for itself in the grass in the back hill. A few days later, he asked for help again, but this time no one wanted to help him. The villagers beat him and tied him to a tree. Although some people spoke out to discourage it, no one paid attention. Finally, he died in a tree. In the evening, the villagers wanted to bury him, but they found the body missing. Finally he came back and killed the whole village. The villagers were bitten and turned into zombies. Some villagers who left in time turned into zombies when they visited the village in the morning.
[Edit this paragraph] Origin 1
The word "zombie" comes from "Mainland Thousand", a Taoist book. Zombies mean: stiff limbs, no bow. Eyes are not oblique. The legs are not divided, and the body is not rotten.
Zombies prevailed after the middle of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most people recorded zombies in Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Mei's Woods Language and Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang were the first two, which can be said to be complete works of zombies.
The theory of corpse removal in western Hunan, also known as the theory of moving souls, belongs to the You Zhu family in Maoshan, and originated in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in western Hunan. When the body was not rotted, it was rushed back to the village by the warlock. Corpse hunters and magicians travel in small groups. Some of them tied the bodies with ropes every few feet, and then put yellow paper symbols on their foreheads. Others beat gongs to clear the way and row boats at night. Throw away the stack before dawn, uncover the paper, stand against the wall and continue on the road at night.
It was also pointed out that the corpse driver actually carried the corpse, but because he was dressed in black at night, passers-by naturally couldn't see the corpse driver and thought there was a corpse.
[Edit this paragraph] Origin 2
According to Hunan folklore, zombies were first used for drug trafficking. A man dressed as a Taoist is a drug dealer. As mentioned above, they walked in groups of three or five, but instead of tying the body with a rope, they put the body on the shoulders of the former and later generations with wooden sticks, so that it seemed that the body could walk. Ring the bell, yellow paper symbol, all to hide people's eyes and ears. This method is a good method for drug trafficking, because ordinary people dare not approach it, and officers and men are unlucky. Walking at night is good for preserving the body. Of course, drugs such as opium can be stored in the body, which is safer.

Move a corpse, walk a shadow, walk a corpse.
The concept of corpse change
The Notes of Yuewei Caotang divides the corpse into two reasons: the sudden change of the new corpse and the long-term burial without decay.
Vegetarian meal in a corpse, which is more scientific? The pH of soil is extremely unbalanced, which is not suitable for the growth of organic matter, so it will not breed ants and bacteria. Even if the body is buried for a hundred years, the muscle hair will not rot. Some data show that the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow. There is also this sentence in Feng Shui.
When I was a child, I heard the old man say that people who were born on a red sand day, died on a black sand day and were buried in flying sand fields would become zombies. "Sand-flying land" means "soil pH is extremely unbalanced, which is not suitable for organic matter growth")
It is rumored that Taoism has the method of refining the Taiyin. When a body is buried for hundreds of years, it will come back to life at the expiration. The dead body is possessed by evil things/spirits, and the body absorbs the yang, which makes the body change when people are angry. When a person dies, the soul is scattered and stagnated.
Yuan Mei's Woods Speech: The human soul is good and evil, but the human soul is ignorant, and the soul dominates the human body. When the soul leaves the human body, it will become an evil spirit zombie.
Three souls and seven spirits is a Taoist saying.
Soul is a positive spirit, which is attached to human spirit and dominates spiritual thinking activities.
Spirit is a kind of female spirit, which is attached to human body and dominates human physical activities.
The possibility of corpse degeneration
Even in the 1950 s, there were funerals and mortuaries in Hong Kong, so the theory of social corpse transformation was very popular at that time, such as lightning and thunder, when a pregnant cat jumped over a coffin, the corpse would change.

[Edit this paragraph] Zombies in the movie
Zombies are a very popular theme in Hong Kong movies in the1980s. In movies, putting a symbol on a zombie's forehead can make the zombie fall asleep. In movies, zombies always wear Qing Dynasty costumes, always keep their arms straight forward, and generally jump forward. The west is also called a zombie. Unlike zombies in the Qing dynasty, they can stretch their arms at will and walk in human form.
Why do zombies always appear at night?
Actually, this is a misunderstanding. People think that zombies only come out at night, as if the sun would hurt or kill them. Actually, this is not right. In Xiangxi, China, there is a mysterious and ancient occupation called corpse driving. Corpsers drive zombies thousands of miles. If a zombie is killed by the sun, this profession will not exist.
However, zombies hate sunlight, which can be concluded from the fact that they always come out at night.
Zombies can be roughly divided into three categories, one is the walking dead, the unconscious, and the lowest zombie, acting on their own instincts. As the saying goes, the walking dead means this. There is also a conscious zombie who has the same wisdom as people and can judge his own behavior. They are terrible zombies, such as China's legendary Millennium zombies and foreign vampires, all of which belong to one kind.
And Hiderigami, the most powerful zombie, only appears in fairy tales. If there is such a zombie, I'm afraid it's stronger than an atomic bomb.
Why do zombies suck blood?
There is no fixed answer to the problem of vampire blood-sucking. There is a saying that zombies suck blood to eat each other's blood, and suck blood to get back at God like a vampire count. Some legends even think that vampire sucking blood is a daily job for zombies, just like our profession.
In fact, the so-called zombies in China are basically assimilated by foreign demons or vampires.
In fact, the real zombie in China is a shadow corpse, which means that if the corpse is placed in a dark place with energy or close to life, it will absorb energy or vitality, leading to the degeneration of the corpse.
A "living body" with activity and thinking ability (actually dead) is a zombie. If you find a shadow corpse, you should deal with it as soon as possible or the consequences will be unimaginable!
Things about zombies have always been mysterious, and little information about them is known. However, it is generally believed that zombies become living dead without thinking and self-control, and only kill and suck blood.
They gathered the grievances of heaven and earth and were born out of luck. Not old, not dead, not extinct, abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six paths of all beings, wandering and displaced. Rigid body, in the world, resentment is power, blood is food, and endless loneliness is vented with the blood of all beings.
China said the most is Xiangxi corpse driver. What they caught belonged to walkers. The corpse driver is called "corpse driver". Usually, before dawn, the corpse is driven to Yizhuang or a fixed store. A corpse is usually covered with a large black shroud, with a tall felt hat on its head and yellow paper with several books hanging on its forehead. In front of these bodies covered with black shroud, there was a living man with a gong. He led the group of bodies forward with a little yin gong in his hand. He didn't play lanterns, but shook a bell that could evoke memories, told Nightcrawler to avoid it, and informed the dog owners to lock them up. If there are more than two bodies, the corpse driver will string them one by one with straw ropes, one every seven or eight feet.
Possibility of corpse change:
People are buried after death.
Even in the 1950 s, there were funerals and mortuaries in Hong Kong, so the theory of social corpse transformation was very popular at that time, such as lightning and thunder, when a pregnant cat jumped over a coffin, the corpse would change.
Zombie species
Zombie corpse is a monster influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon. Meridian rain divides zombies into eight varieties:
Purple hardness
White stiffness
Green hardness
Stiff hair
Fly stiffly
Zombies can become monsters and become vicious (or Hiderigami). Legend has it that zombies become monsters after being transformed into demons. Zombies can fly when they become monsters, which is also called flying stiff. It is said that you can kill dragons and swallow clouds and walk like the wind. Everywhere you go, you are the king of zombies. Nervously, he said, "There are people two or three feet long in the south, naked, with their eyes on them, walking like the wind. Their name is Hao, and the country they see is drought and thousands of miles away. " Zombies can fly, kill dragons and swallow clouds, and cause drought. So whenever there is a drought, people will search for zombies and burn them to ashes.

The legend of zombies
The earliest zombie was Hiderigami, the daughter of Xuanyuan Huangdi. Because of the curse of Chiyou, she became a zombie. Originally zombies don't need to suck human blood. Because there is too little aura in heaven and earth, man is the soul of all things, so he should suck blood. Later, after several wars, the world was destroyed in ancient times. Pangu was left to create the world, and many ancient humans were left in space, leaving behind generals. I don't remember what happened in ancient times. Nu Wa, the mother of the earth, made man in the image of the general. Zombie' got its name because later generations saw it suck blood. In fact, the legendary zombie is a god, not a monster, and the jumping zombie in the movie is the evolution of the dead body. Real zombies are no different from people, but they have special abilities. China people are descendants of China people and dragons, so now,

Speaking of the new concept zombie film and television drama, I have to say that the modern theme series "I have a date with zombies" filmed by Asia TV in Hong Kong. The plot combines Chinese and western, and the theme is deeper than the previous zombie movies. It is completely entertaining and talks about love and redemption. Coupled with excellent production and excellent performance, the result was very popular. Even Sir Run Run Shaw, the sworn enemy of ATV and the owner of the wireless TV station, generously praised me for having a date with zombies.
Segmentation:
"I have a date with zombies" is not only novel and beautiful, but also gives zombies ten grades:
1. First-class zombie. Usually no different from ordinary people. After transformation, the pupils are red, and they are not afraid of any attacks (physics and magic). They can eat nothing or nothing (that is, they don't need any food to survive).
On behalf of:
Stiff True Ancestor (Yam Tat-wah): "General Zombie King". With wings on his back, it has existed since the beginning of creation. He and Nu Wa created human beings together. He is the lover of Nu Wa and a Pangu. Is the "father" of all zombies (because all zombies have his blood in their bodies).
Other representatives:
Fuxi (Zheng Haonan), the king of mankind, the Virgin of Yaochi: two gods and lovers at the beginning of the world. One is in charge of mankind, the other is in charge of plague, and they are all Pangu people.
Kuang Tianyou (Yin Tianzhao), the protagonist, has the blood of a general. Later, in order to fight against the general, he absorbed the blood of the magic star and upgraded to the first level. After transformation, a unicorn was born.
2. Second-class zombies. Usually no different from ordinary people. The transformed pupils are green, and they are not afraid of any attacks (physical and magical) and suck blood. There are many good abilities, such as super speed and reading ability.
On behalf of:
Kuang Tianyou: The protagonist, Super Speed.
Kuang: The protagonist is an adopted son. His abilities are reading ability and hypnosis.
Other representatives: Crow, Yamamoto and Kazuo.
3. Level 3 zombie. Usually no different from ordinary people. After transformation, the pupil is golden yellow. It is not afraid of any attack, except for the "Great Sun Tathagata mantra" and the "Dragon God" of the exorcist dragon, and feeds on blood. The ability is also good.

Tang Benjing: Have the ability to enter other people's dreams. In the dream, he is the king. The father of the magic star.
Other representatives:

7. Seven zombies.
8. Eight zombies. Since this generation, zombies are afraid of the sun.
9. Level 9 zombies.

But in Zombie 3, Ma Xiaoling, the heroine, also graded the eyes of zombies according to their colors: red, green, yellow, blue, white and black (in descending order).
Red:
General zombie king
Green:
The second generation of zombies, also known as the general queen. The energy level is second only to the general.
Yellow:

Blue, white:
The easiest to take.
Black:
No brain, no soul, only know how to suck blood, and the most important thing is that you can kill it. Can be killed with pure silver solution.
These are all what Ma Xiaoling said in Zombie 3. She also said: "The ultimate power of zombies is love."
Scientists decipher
British experts explained some reasons for the "zombie" phenomenon. These experts discovered the mystery of the "zombie" phenomenon when studying a natural disease-Ebola virus fever. They say that the "zombie" phenomenon is a disease caused by this virus. Patients infected with Ebola virus will fall into a coma or fainting state after a few hours of high fever, which is very similar to clinical death, so patients are often considered dead. However, a few hours or days later, the patient suddenly wakes up and enters a very aggressive state. The unconscious patient will bite all moving objects, including people and animals. At the same time, this disease will make patients secrete a lot of saliva, causing internal bleeding. But in the eyes of outsiders, this "suddenly resurrected dead man" has been bleeding from the corners of his mouth, his eyes have become dull, and he has become a "zombie" or a "fake corpse".
be frightened of the dark
Superstition
A corpse refers to a dead body suddenly resurrected by some external factor, but the resurrected dead body has lost its humanity and is just an unconscious walker. Corpse usually occurs when there is lightning. It may be that lightning stimulates the static electricity in the dead body that has not been completely dispersed, so the dead body moves unconsciously like electricity.
Another reason is that cats or dogs passing by corpses can also lead to degeneration of corpses. The static electricity on cats and dogs stimulates the cathode of the corpse.
It is said that there are eighteen kinds of corpses: zombies, blood corpses, shadow corpses, flesh corpses, leather corpses, jade corpses, walking corpses, fried corpses, sweaty corpses, hairy corpses, walking corpses, waking corpses, nailed corpses, stone corpses, fighting corpses, vegetable corpses, cotton corpses and wooden corpses. The fiercest: zombies and bloody corpses are the most disgusting; Shadow corpse and battle corpse are the kindest: flesh corpse and waking corpse.
Corpse is a kind of corpse degeneration, which generally does not actively hurt people like shadow corpses. The so-called necrophilia means that when a person is in the transition period of life and death, that is, the' Yin body' stage in Buddhism, influenced by some external force, there are 18 kinds of external forces, which lead to 18 kinds of necrophilia. For example, on a moonless night, a passive cat just jumps over the heart of a corpse at this time, which will lead to fraudulent corpse. There are many such examples among the people. Others only appear in some areas, such as the walking dead, only in Xiangxi. It is a kind of herbal medicine originated from Miao family, which can be applied to the nose and mouth of Yin people's bodies, so that they can continue to walk like ordinary people at night, but they can't talk and think, and they can obediently obey the instructions of corpse drivers.
[Edit this paragraph] "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" Chapter III "Corpse Change"
The person who believes in a certain Weng is from Caidian in the city. After walking five or six miles from the village to the city, the father and son set up a small shop on the side of the road to live with the merchants. There are several rickshaw pullers who come and go to sell and need to stay at home.
One evening, four people came together and looked at the door. At that time, Weng's guest house was full. Four people have no answers, please accommodate. Weng mused, thinking about one place, as if afraid of the guests' improper intentions. Hakka said, "But I dare not choose a seat in the mansion." When Weng's son and wife died recently, in the morgue, the son went out to buy firewood. Weng Yiling's room was quiet, so he went through the bend to guide the guests. Into the room, the light is very dark. After the incident, there was a confession, and the clothes were covered with paper. Look at the sleeping place again. There is a couch in the courtyard. The four passengers were quite sleepy running around. They just fell asleep and their breathing became thicker. The only guest was still in a daze. Suddenly, he heard a voice on the bed and quickly opened his eyes, so the light in front of him seemed very difficult. The female corpse has been uncovered. Suddenly, gradually into the bedroom. Pale gold, raw silk wipes his forehead. Leaning on the sofa, blowing guests everywhere. The guests were so scared that they were afraid of themselves, afraid of themselves, covered their heads and listened with bated breath. After several women came, they blew like guests. When I walked out of the room, I smelled paper. The first time I peeped, I saw the early me. The guests were too scared to speak, so Yin stamped her feet on them. The guests never move less. Running around with clothes on is better than not worrying about anything. This began to shake the clothes and sent out the sound of inspection. Guests are afraid to retreat and shrink in the first place. When Chueh-fu came back, she began to count. When you hear the sound of the bed, you know it's lying down again. I gradually took my pants out from under the quilt, stood on tiptoe and ran out barefoot. The body also rose, as if to drive away the guests. In contrast, the guests have been pulled out. The body rushed out from there. Guests swarmed in, countless, and there was no police in the village. I want to knock on the host's door, but I'm afraid I'll be late, so I hope Yicheng Road will try to escape. When I arrived in the eastern suburbs, I caught a glimpse of Lan Ruo and heard the sound of wooden fish, which made me run to the mountain gate. Road flyover is very surprised and unacceptable. The body has arrived, and the guests are embarrassed to see it. There are poplars outside the door, surrounded by four or five feet, because trees are self-defeating The right is left, and the left is right. The body is angry. Range? Tired. The corpse stands upright, and the guest sweat promotes qi reversal, and the trees shelter from the wind. When the body exploded, I stretched out my arm through the tree to explore it. The guest was surprised. You can't catch a body, but you can't hold a tree.
Road flyover eavesdropping for a long time, silent, gradually leaned out and saw the guests lying on the ground. After the candle died, I felt a little angry. If you lose, you will sue at night. Ask questions with soup, and the guests are right. The morning bell has passed, and the morning mist is faint. The Taoist priest climbed the tree and was shocked when he saw the stiff woman. Report to the city slaughter, slaughter relatives quality inspection, let people pull out a woman's hand, can't pull it off. If you look closely, your left and right fingers will roll together like hooks. It is possible to pull the manpower out. It depends on the viewpoint, just like making a hole. When the servant was sent to Weng's house to visit, the bodies were everywhere, all in a mess. After getting the news of the battle, Weng Nai set out from there and returned to his hometown. The guest cried and told Zaiying, "Four people went out, and now they are back alone. What makes you believe in the village? " Kill it and send it back.

There is an old man in Yangxin county, who is from Caidian, a suburb of the county. The village is five or six miles away from the city, and the father and son opened an inn on the road for the convenience of passing businessmen. There are several drivers who sell goods and often stay at his house.
One night, four drivers stayed together. But the guests were full, and the four of them had no choice but to beg for asylum. The old man thought for a moment and thought of a place, but he was afraid that the guests would not want to. The guest said, "I just want to live in peace and dare not be picky." It turns out that the old man's daughter-in-law died soon, and the body was in the room, and his son was going out to buy a coffin. The old man was cold and lonely because he missed the spirit, so he led the guests through an alley. When I entered the room, I saw that the lights on the table were dim, a tent was hung behind the table, and the deceased was covered with pieces of paper. Looking at the lying place, it is a room separated by only one door, with a bunk bed. Four guests fell on pillows, snoring loudly because of hard work. One of them was in a daze when he heard a creaking sound on the bed. He quickly opened his eyes and looked. The light in front of the spirit is very clear. The woman corpse uncovered the paper, got out of bed and went into the bedroom. Her face is golden and her forehead is covered with silk. The woman corpse approached the couch and leaned over to blow at the sleeping guests one by one. The guest was frightened at once, afraid that she would blow on herself and secretly pull the quilt over her head, afraid to breathe. After a while, the female corpse didn't come near him, so it blew. I knew by feeling that she had left the room. I heard the paper creaking, so I leaned out briefly and took a peek. I saw the dead woman lying motionless. The guest was scared, but didn't dare to make any noise, so he secretly kicked his companion. None of the partners moved. I think there's nothing I can do, so I'd better put on my clothes and run away. As soon as I put on my clothes, cracks appeared again, so I had to bury my head in the quilt again. I feel that the female corpse is really coming again. I blew it to him many times before I left. Suddenly, I heard something on the coffin bed and knew that the woman was lying down again. So the guest slowly reached under the quilt for his trousers, put them on in a hurry and ran barefoot. At this time, the woman corpse also got up to chase, and when she left Zhang Ling, the guest had already opened the door and fled. Who knows, the female corpse is in hot pursuit. The guests ran and shouted, but no one in the village woke up. I want to knock on my master's door, but I am afraid it is too late. I had to flee in the direction of the county. When I arrived in the eastern suburbs, I saw a temple and heard the sound of wooden fish, so I knocked at the door. The monk in the temple was very surprised and refused to let him in at once. In a twinkling, the female body arrived, only more than a foot apart. Embarrassed and desperate, the guest saw a poplar tree in front of buddhist nun. Its trunk is about four or five feet thick, so he has to borrow it to cover himself. When the body comes from the left, it leans to the right; When the body comes from the right, it will lean to the left. After a long stalemate, the female corpse became more and more angry. However, exhausted from each other, the female corpse stood motionless. The guest leaned against the trunk, panting and sweating to protect himself. Suddenly, the female corpse suddenly exploded, and her arms reached over the trunk and came at him. The guest collapsed in fear, but the woman corpse didn't catch him and held the trunk stiffly.
The monk eavesdropped for a long time and didn't open the door until there was no sound. Seeing the guest lying on the ground, lit by a candle, dead, but still breathing, I took him back to buddhist nun, woke up at night, let him have tea, and then asked him what was going on? The guests told the story one by one. At this time, the morning bell rang, which was already foggy and shiny. The monk saw a female corpse in the tree and immediately reported it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate personally checked that the female corpse could not be opened. Careful observation shows that the four fingers of the right and left hands are rolled together like hooks and inserted into the trunk, and no nails can be seen. After that, several people were added, and everyone Qi Xin worked together to get rid of it. Watch your fingers. It seems that eight holes have been drilled. The county magistrate sent police officers to the store to ask, and the store clamored that the female body was missing and the guest died. The officers told the reason, and the old man and the officers went to carry the female body back together. The surviving guests said to the county magistrate in tears, "The four of us went out together, and now I'm the only one left. How can this convince the villagers? " The county magistrate gave him a county magistrate and gave him food, clothing and other things.
Support, thank you.
