Zombie (or "zombie") is a corpse that has not decayed for a long time after death, turning into something like a mummy. The reason for the lack of decay may be due to climate or soil quality, but there is no physical report yet.
The unofficial history of the Qing Dynasty, Shu Yi Ji (written by Dongxuan Master), contains the story of the appearance of raped corpses. It roughly tells that in the early Qing Dynasty, there was a small village in the west of southern Hunan. A rogue in the village was convicted of tomb robbery. After being poisoned by corpse poison, he was later rescued by an old man, but because he did something inappropriate again, he was beaten up by the whole village, and then left in the grass behind the mountain to fend for himself.
A few days later, he came again to ask for help, but this time no one was willing to help him. The villagers beat him and tied him to a tree. Although some people tried to dissuade him, no one paid attention to him. In the end, he died on a tree. At night, the villagers wanted to bury him, but found that his body was missing.
In the end, he came back and killed the whole village. The villagers were bitten and turned into zombies one by one. Some villagers who left in time also turned into zombies when they returned to the village to visit in the morning.
The theory of zombies became popular after the mid-Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty's notebooks contain the most records of zombies, with Yuan Mei's "Zi Buyu" and Ji Xiaolan's "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes" being the most popular. These two books can be said to be the "Zombie Encyclopedia".
The theory of driving corpses in Western Hunan, also known as moving spirits, belongs to the Zhuyou branch of Maoshan Shu. It originated from the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu in Western Hunan. The corpses were driven back to their hometowns by warlocks when they were not corrupted. Burial. The warlocks who drove away the corpses walked together in groups of about three or five. Some tied the corpses with ropes, one every few feet, and then put yellow paper charms on their foreheads. Others beat gongs and bells to clear the way and rowed at night. He threw himself into a stack in front of daylight, lifted up the talisman, and stood his body against the wall. He continued on his way at night.
Some people also say that the corpse chasers actually carry the corpses on their backs and walk. However, because they are wearing black clothes and walking at night, passers-by cannot see the corpse chasers and think that there is a walking corpse.
According to "Zi Buyu" and "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", zombies have three aliases: moving corpse, walking shadow and walking corpse.
"Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes" divides the reasons why corpses become zombies into two categories: mutation of new corpses and long-term burial.
Corpse raising ground, this is more scientific. The pH of the soil is extremely unbalanced and is not suitable for the growth of organic matter, so it will not breed ants, insects, and bacteria. Even if a corpse is buried for hundreds of years, the muscle and hair will not decay. Some data show that the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow. This is also said in Feng Shui.
It is rumored that Taoists have a Taiyin refining method. The corpse will be resurrected after being buried for hundreds of years:
The newly deceased corpse is possessed by evil objects and evil spirits
The corpse absorbs the yang energy and changes into a corpse with the help of human life
When a person dies, the soul is scattered and the soul is stagnant
Yuan Mei's "Zi Buyu": "People The human soul is good and the soul is evil. The soul of a person dominates the human body. When the soul leaves the human body, it will become an evil ghost zombie.
Three souls and seven souls are the Taoist theory
The soul is the masculine spirit, attached to the person's Qi, and dominates mental and thinking activities
The soul is the feminine spirit, attached to In the human form, it dominates the human body activities
Possibility of corpse transformation:
People are buried but not buried after death
Even in the 1950s, Hong Kong people still There were burials and morgues at home, so the theory of corpse transformation was very popular in society at that time. If thunder and lightning struck or a pot-bellied cat jumped over the coffin, the corpse would mutate.
Zombies are monsters transformed by the essence of the sun and moon. "Zi Buyu" divides zombies into:
Purple Zombie, White Zombie, Green Zombie, Hairy Zombie, Flying Zombie
Zombies can become demons and monsters (or drought monsters). The "Shen Yi Jing" records: "There is a man in the south, two or three feet long, naked, with eyes on top, walking like the wind, his name is Ba. The country he saw is suffering from a severe drought, and the land is thousands of miles away." Zombies can fly and kill dragons. Swallowing clouds causes drought. Therefore, whenever there is a drought, people will search for zombies and burn them to ashes.
Zombies eat human flesh and also suck blood. "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" once described the appearance of the zombie: "White hair all over the body, eyes as red as cinnabar, fingers like hooks, teeth hanging out of the lips like sharp knives... kissing and gasping, blood running through the nose..."
There are the following types of artifacts for recovering zombies:
Mirrors. "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentions: "Mirrors are the essence of gold and water, which are bright inside and dark outside."
Peach branches and peach wood swords. "Jingchu Age Chronicles": "Peach, the essence of the five elements, can conquer evil spirits and control hundreds of ghosts."
Rooster crows.
"Zi Buyu": "The ghost shrinks when it hears the rooster crow."
Seven jujube stones. "Zi Buyu": "Seven jujube stones were nailed into the back of the corpse."
Broom bell, I Ching Tongshu, ink bucket, masonry, cone, ax and ruler
Glutinous rice, rice, rice Sieve and roast adzuki beans
on fire. The ultimate method of killing corpses. "Zi Buyu": "Set it on fire, and there will be a sound of tsk-tsk, and the blood will surge into the bones."
In the Feng Shui practice of Chinese architecture, a wooden board about 15 centimeters high is usually installed under the door ( Threshold) to prevent zombies from jumping into your home.
The final form of the zombie has been practiced for more than a hundred years. It can fly in the sky and escape from the earth and is omnipotent. It also has demonic nature and will attack humans! But don’t be afraid. There is no such type of zombie in Taiwan. At most, There are only walking corpses, and in the vast continent, there are only 6.7 of them. It is said that they have appeared once in the Loess Plateau, but local residents say it was just once! X Login·······
