The evil spirits of Rashomon, who were subdued by the warrior Watanabe of the Heian Dynasty, and the drunken children of Dajiangshan all belong to this place. Japan has been relying on it for nearly a hundred years, and the image of ghosts has gradually settled down. They are very similar to human bodies, except that they have horns on their heads and their mouths crack to their ears. Naked, with tiger skin hanging around his waist. As for the ghost-playing activities on holidays and the ghost dance in folk art, ghosts are regarded as representatives of evil spirits who are driven away. In addition, there are legends of ghosts. The so-called five ghosts in yoshinoyama, Nara County all claim to be descendants of ghosts, and there are often stories about ghosts and stones in some giant legends.

Religious ghost

Ghost: Bali peta, one of the bitter and evil interests in reincarnation.

The ancestors of many nationalities believed that people would become ghosts after death, and ancient Indians were no exception. So, Barry? People for the ethical treatment of animals? The word (van preta) is also used as pa-? The past participle (former, departed) means dead, dead, ancestral spirit, etc. For example, the annotation of the central meaning explains from the etymological point of view: "The place where people arrive after death is the ghost world." (peccabhàvaüpattànaüvisayoti petvisayo。 )(M . a 1. 153)

But according to the law of karma, not all people will be reincarnated as ghosts after death. Only when their bad karma is mature can they be reincarnated as ghosts.

There are many kinds of ghosts, and the results are quite different. There are blessed ones, happy mahiddhika peta, vimànapeta, ugly ones, hungry ghosts and so on. However, because most of these sentient beings often suffer from hunger, thirst and pain, they are generally called "hungry ghosts".

There are four kinds of hungry ghosts mentioned in The Question of Milind: Vanta Sika, Hupipa Sina and Nijaha Mata? Hika) and Ithachi ghost (paradatt? paj? Vina). Among them, only the fourth kind of living ghosts can get the merits of food and return given by people in their name.

Like animals, ghosts and people live in the same world, such as mountains, wilderness, villages, cemeteries and so on.

Ghost: the natural phenomenon of information extinction.

China didn't think ghosts were harmful before the Ming Dynasty, so China greatly respected and worshipped his ancestors. In ancient China, the treatment of good and evil depends on his behavior, not that evil is evil, but that immortality is good. It's like having demons and evil monks. Unlike western angels, they are just and vampires are evil.

Ghosts, also known as undead, are legendary souls left behind after death and are usually considered as ghosts of the dead. Ghosts may not exist, after all, no one can prove it, but no one can explain that ghosts don't exist.

People with higher education and scientists usually don't believe this. Many people want to prove that ghosts are false, but there is no clear experimental proof. But there is no experiment to prove that this is true.

Whether ghosts exist, this seemingly only yes and no answer question, has gone beyond the scope of human understanding, beyond the scope of science, beyond the scope of nature, this scope is also controversial, there is no * * * knowledge.

In the cultural history of China, China people in Shang and Zhou Dynasties did not have the concept of immortality, nor did they have the concept of reincarnation advocated by Buddhism. But people at that time also thought that people would become ghosts after death and their identity would continue in the underworld. Therefore, they believe that after death, the soul continues to care about things that affect the world, which leads to the popularity of divination and burial concepts.

In addition, ghosts can be found in Hinduism, Shintoism and later developed Islam.

Unique meaning

First, ghosts satisfy people's curiosity and freshness. People's psychological instinct is curiosity, which is the need of human development and social development. Ghost books can just satisfy people's curiosity. Ghost books generally use romantic expressions such as discipline, ambition, fantasy, imagination, etc., and the story is vivid and tortuous, full of appeal. Literary works with ghosts as the theme conform to the development law of novelty and novelty in literary and artistic creation, thus promoting each other.

Second, ghosts are easy to pin the author's feelings. Under the autocratic rule of feudal rulers, a literary inquisition was established in Daxing. It is difficult for people to express their ideals and wishes, so people express them subtly and tortuous in an inhuman form. In fact, this is also the author's resistance to the society at that time. Therefore, in many ghost books in the world, we can see those who condemn corrupt officials, ridicule human feelings, laugh at the indifference of the world and so on.

Third, ghost films are a mirror of people and society. In Ghosts, the author objectifies the essence of man and society, and makes people examine themselves and human society in these works. Yi Shi of Wengshan wrote bluntly in the preface of "The Legend of Ghost Chopping": "If my wife is a ghost and she is a ghost without a ghost, then she will be inhuman, and she will become a ghost and no longer be a human being. How can she compare with Ann's real ghost? This kind of thing is to be cut off. "

It can be seen that attribution is favored by authors because of its unique aesthetic value and cognitive value, and some knowledgeable authors also make full use of these values to create excellent literary works.

As far as Chinese ghost culture is concerned, its content is all-encompassing, and the origin, social attributes and popularity of ghost books are only a small part of it. In addition, it also involves many other contents, such as: the classification of ghosts, their grotesque appearance, their personality and talents, their residences, their systems and grades, etc. I won't go into details here. After all, we should oppose superstition and advocate science. The purpose of introducing these contents is to make readers understand the essence of ghosts more clearly and read ghost books reasonably and selectively.

The evil within us

Ghosts' upper body is because some people's brains or specific areas have changed, and their own brain waves have weakened, which makes them more sensitive and easier to accept. Their original brain waves will be temporarily covered, people will temporarily lose their original consciousness, and their behavior will be controlled by occupied brain waves or in a sluggish state (with the characteristics of two people at the same time). That man can be said to be possessed by a ghost.

There are many other phenomena about ghosts, which can be explained by this "ghost".

"People are classified as ghosts, from people, like ghosts, ghosts and thieves, from." -"Shuo Wen Jie Zi"

It has a long history. It can be said that there have been records about ghosts since there were words. Seen from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the glyph of "ghost" is a person wearing a big horror mask on his head, which is very similar to people. This shows that our ancestors have long regarded ghosts as monsters closely related to people.

In fact, the source of ghosts is multiple and complicated. First of all, ghosts are associated with souls, and souls are closely related to dreams. Engels pointed out in the book "ludwig feuerbach and the End of German Classical Philosophy": "In ancient times, people didn't know the structure of their own bodies at all, and were influenced by the scenes in their dreams, so they had an idea that their thoughts and feelings were not the activities of the body, but the unique activities of the soul who lived in this body and left it when people died. Since then, people have to think about the relationship between this soul and the outside world. Since the soul leaves the body and continues to live when people die, there is no reason to imagine that it will die itself; In this way, the concept of immortality of the soul appeared. " In this way, ancient people came to the conclusion that man is composed of "body" and "soul". The body can die, but the soul will never die. When a person dies, his soul leaves his body and becomes a ghost. Just to explain the causes of ghosts and people.

The relationship between ghosts and people, ghosts are accessories. It can also be said to be a container for the human body. However, ghosts can't control people's minds.

There is also a kind of natural ghosts and gods, because people in the past can't understand natural phenomena such as lightning, earthquakes and lewd rain, and think that some ghosts and gods are manipulating these natural phenomena, and every natural phenomenon is a prank of ghosts and gods. Marx said: "Nature is originally opposed to human beings, and it is a completely alien, infinitely powerful and uncontrollable force. The relationship between man and it is completely like an animal, and people obey its rights like livestock. "
