What do you mean by hiding?

"Shen Yin" is a myth in Japanese legend, which means that a person is hidden by a god or a ghost, and this person disappears from the world, which is similar to disappearing into the air. This legend is quite popular in China and Japan, and there are also corresponding versions of fairy tales.

The most famous Japanese myth is the fairy tale "Taro Chuan Dao".

Legend has it that Taro Chuan Dao is a fisherman. One day, he saved a turtle on the beach. It turned out that this turtle was a turtle in the underwater Dragon Palace City, so Taro Chuan Dao was taken to the Dragon Palace City, where he was entertained by the Dragon Lady and stayed for eight days. Eight days later, Taro Chuan Dao returned to the ground with the jade box sent by Dragon Lady, only to find that the ground world had been turned upside down. It turns out that the time in Dragon Palace City is different from that in the ground world. It only took eight days in the Dragon Palace City, but it has passed nearly a thousand years on the ground. His relatives have all passed away, and no one in this world knows him. He was puzzled, so he couldn't help opening the jade box and instantly became a white-haired old man.

The most famous hermit in China is Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden.

Peach Blossom Garden is an essay written by Tao Yuanming, a writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. It is said that in the Jin Dynasty in China, there was a Wuling where everyone made a living by fishing. One day he was fishing in the old place and came across a peach blossom forest he had never seen before. The peach blossom forest is beautiful, attracting him to keep moving forward. After walking to a valley, he found a cave. After passing through the cave, Wu Lingren was surprised to find a village at the other end of the cave. This village is full of fertile land and all kinds of poultry and fish; Houses are strewn at random, and children and adults are happy, just like an ideal utopia.

When people in this village saw Wu Lingren, they were very surprised. They said they came here to escape the war of the Qin Dynasty. Since then, they have lived in isolation and have not been in contact with outsiders for so many years. Their thinking is still in the Qin Dynasty, and they don't know that there are other dynasties such as the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Wu Lingren stayed in the village for a few days and then left. Before he left, the people in the village specifically told him not to tell the world what happened here.

But Wu Lingren broke his word. When he left, he made marks everywhere. After returning to the county seat, he reported the matter to the satrap, who immediately sent someone to go with him. But strangely, all the marks he made before disappeared magically, and the peach blossom forest disappeared with the legendary village, as if it had never appeared in this world.
