Some people say that taking photos will cause blood loss, and if you don’t take photos of your legs and feet, you will actually lose your legs and feet. Is this credible?

Chinese people believe that the human body is composed of "form" and "qi". Form refers to appearance, and shape is the appearance of bones, that is, physical entities such as appearance, body shape, and color; Qi refers to breath, and the Sheng Sheng also means spiritual existence. Shape refers to body; Qi refers to vitality. The so-called "form is the source of life, and Qi is the source of life" (see "Wenzi. Shouwei Chapter"). Wang Chong's "Lunheng. Yan Du Chapter" says: "All things are born with vitality.

" Therefore, both "body" and "vital energy" need to be protected by the human body. Losing one cannot harm the other. two. The integrity of the body and vitality is directly related to the stability of the soul, because "the soul is attached to the form and the soul is attached to the qi" (see Chunqiu Zuozhuan Zhengyi. Volume 44. Shu), so the relationship between form and qi Relationship is the relationship between body and soul. Therefore, among Chinese folk taboos related to the human body, there are not only taboos about the body, but also taboos about the soul. How to manifest the taboos of the soul? The Chinese easily materialize the soul into images. In Chinese folk belief, it is believed that a person's shadow both resembles and is related to the person's body. The body is yang and the image is yin, so I feel that the shadow is probably my soul, or something important in my life related to my soul.

There is a shadow in the human body only if there is a soul. Ghosts have no shadows. If a person loses his or her shadow (which is believed to be entirely possible), then the person becomes a ghost and loses his or her life. Similarly, if someone's shadow is damaged by others, his body will also become sick or injured. If you want to curse or harm someone, you can quietly step on or secretly chop or nail someone's shadow to achieve your goal.

So Chinese people taboo and prohibit others from stepping on their own shadows. If they are sick or injured and no other cause can be found, they will recall whether someone stepped on or hurt their shadow. When collecting the deceased and adding a lid to the coffin, you must be particularly careful not to let your shadow be nailed into the coffin, lest your health be endangered.
