"Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Huangpizi Tomb" is adapted from the first volume of the second part of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series by Tian Xia Ba Sing. The play mainly tells the story of Hu Bayi, who is about to go abroad, and discovers something while packing his luggage. The photo evokes the memories of the protagonists when they were educated youths twenty years ago, telling the story of their adventures when they jumped in line in the 1960s. There is a place called Turtle Mew in the play, so what is Turtle Mew? Let’s take a look.
What is the sleeping place of the turtle in the yellow-skinned grave of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"
The original work reads:
When a turtle enters the sea, it turns into a mirage. When the land climbs into the sea, it loses its shape and turns into the illusion of a mirage. When you see a fairy mountain in the sea that does not exist, it is actually a mirage formed by the sea air when the turtle encounters it. The sight of the giant turtle during his lifetime produced this elusive sea air in the sea. However, in Qingwu Shu, it is said that there is actually no turtle in the sea. What he wants to explain probably refers to the lunar energy and the turtle fish in the sea. Dragons and other spiritual beings are connected.
The tortoise shells of old turtles that have lived in the sea for thousands of years contain a lot of sea air, so the place where the bones of turtles are buried must always be filled with sea air. The gray buildings we saw were most likely where a group of turtles gathered in the sea. It is estimated that the dead people buried here, as well as the folklore of ghost offices, probably regard the image of phantom cloth caused by the floating sea air in the turtle bones as the underworld.
The real turtle resting place is the place where the old turtles in the sea climbed onto the land to bury their bones when they knew they would not live long.
