In unofficial history in the Qing Dynasty, there was a story of a strong corpse (written by Dong Xuan). Roughly speaking, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village in the west of southern Hunan. A rogue in the village was poisoned by ptomaine for robbing a tomb and was saved by an old man, but was beaten by the whole village for doing something wrong again and 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.
Zombies prevailed after the middle of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most people recorded zombies in the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Mei's Zi Wu Yu and Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang were the earliest. These two books can be called "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.
According to Meridian Rain and Yuewei Caotang Notes, zombies have three nicknames: the walking dead.
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.
Rumor has it that Taoism has the method of refining the moon, and the body will be buried for hundreds of years and will be resurrected when it expires:
The newly dead body is possessed by evil things and pathogens.
The body absorbs yang, which makes people angry and changes the body.
When a person dies, the soul is scattered and the spirit is stagnant.
Yuan Mei's Yu Woods: "The human soul has good and evil, but the human soul is ignorant." The soul dominates the human body, leaving the human body will become an evil 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.
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.
Zombies are monsters influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon. "Wuziyu" divides zombies into:
Purple hard white hard green hard hair hard fly hard.
Zombies can become monsters and become vicious (or Hiderigami). 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.
