What do you think is the mystery of China culture?
Exorcising ghosts is an aggressive witchcraft against ghosts, which is often used in production, building houses, treating diseases and funeral. This is the main job of folk wizards. When Bimo, a Yi nationality in Liangshan, treated a patient, he asked the patient to sit at the door with a bamboo dustpan on his head. Bimo shouted, "Catch the evil ghost, catch him quickly." At the same time, he ordered his assistant to sprinkle ashes from the fireplace on the patient's head with a shovel and drive away ghosts with ashes. Another Yi wizard, Suni, placed many branches and tributes beside the fire pit when exorcising ghosts. He walked around the fire pit and knocked on the sheepskin drum, inviting all the gods down. Then he suddenly opened the mouth of an earthenware pot, said, "Catch the ghost and put it in the earthenware pot quickly", and immediately sealed his mouth and shouted, "Ghost who harms people, I will burn you!" After that, Suni poured the ghost in the clay pot into the fireplace and said, "Ghost, wait until the bamboo basket can hold water." In addition, there are paper boats burning candles, shooting the bride with arrows at weddings, carrying braziers and so on. Many exorcism witchcraft of Han nationality was later inherited by Taoism. Symbols, swords, seals and mirrors are the main exorcism tools of Taoist priests. Exorcism also applies to the dead.
