1. In Qing unofficial history, there is a story of a strong corpse in the narrative (written by Dong Xuan's master). Roughly speaking, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village in the west of southern Hunan that stood by the mountain. Although a rogue in the village was poisoned by ptomaine for robbing a tomb and was rescued by an old man, he was beaten by the whole village for his misconduct and then left to fend for himself in the grass in the back hill. 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. The theory of zombie origin 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 Xiangxi, also known as the theory of moving souls, belongs to a branch of You Zhu in Maoshan, and originated in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in Xiangxi. 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. Zombie nicknames According to Meridian Jade and Notes of Yuewei Caotang, zombies have three nicknames: moving corpses and leaving corpses. The Notes of Yuewei Caotang divides the reason why a corpse becomes a zombie into two items: sudden change of a new corpse and long burial. It is more scientific to change the concept of corpse to corpse land. 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. It is said that Taoism has the method of refining the Taiyin. When the body is buried for hundreds of years, it will come back to life when it expires. The body that just died is possessed by evil things/spirits, and the yang is absorbed by the body. When the body is angry and the body dies, the soul is scattered and stagnated. Yuan Mei's Yu Woods: A person's soul has good and evil, and a person's soul dominates this person. When the soul leaves the human body, it will become an evil zombie. Three souls and seven spirits are the Taoist saying that the soul is a positive spirit, which is attached to human spirit and dominates spiritual thinking activities, while the spirit is a negative spirit, which is attached to human body and dominates human physical activities. Possibility of corpse change: people are not buried after death. Even in the 1950' s, there were funerals and mortuaries in Hong Kong, so the theory of social corpse change was popular at that time, for example, when a pregnant cat jumped over a coffin, corpse change would happen. Zombie variety Zombie corpse is a monster influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon. The meridian rain divides zombies into eight varieties: purple, white, green, hairy and flying. Zombies can become monsters, monsters (or Hiderigami). "Lingyi Jing" contains: the south is two or three feet long, naked, with eyes on it, and walks like the wind, called Hao. The country they saw was dry, 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. A wandering corpse doesn't turn into a bone.
2. The Qing government is weak, betraying the country for glory, the people are in poverty, and the dead are not allowed to mourn. They are zombies ... I asked about it. Basically, these points are:
One: This is just an official costume, and the dynasty is not necessarily the Qing Dynasty. According to the folk rumors in ancient China, zombies are usually set by officials in the underworld, so it is not surprising to wear official clothes.
Two: A. We have heard of such a legend since childhood. The story is probably like this: In the Qing Dynasty, a large-scale plague occurred in a distant frontier, similar to the border defense. A large number of local officials and soldiers all died, and the dead were haunted. Then these bodies will be transported back to their hometown for burial, so that the dead can be buried! There was an accident when transporting these bodies, so the bodies of the deceased could not be transported back to their hometown, so they became zombies.
B, under the influence of such a legend, and because the Qing Dynasty is close to modern times, it is the clothes of the Qing Dynasty that impress modern people with ancient costumes and official uniforms. Therefore, since the 1950s and 1960s, the zombie images in Hong Kong movies have been wearing the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty. Too many shots will become a habit. According to ancient folk rumors, zombies are generally set by officials in the underworld, so it is not surprising to wear official clothes.
Three: Zombies have a long history and are said to have originated in Xiangxi to drive corpses. Corpse removal was very popular in Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, the principle of regional avoidance was clearly stipulated in the official system of our country, so all officials were officials in a foreign land, and many local officials died in office and in a foreign land. According to their last wish, they wanted to go back to their hometown to bury the body, so they needed to transport it back, so there was the industry of transporting the body. In ancient China, people paid attention to returning home in clothes, so local officials who died in their official positions were brought back by professional teams, and on the basis of this industry, various zombie legends gradually developed, so most of them wore official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty. That's all I can understand
