Today, the editor of chinastory.com brought us how did the “ghost” come from? I hope it can help you.
The so-called ghosts actually refer to those ghosts who are still wandering around the world after people die. They have nowhere to go and are homeless, which is very sad. So in our daily life, we often use ghosts to describe those who are alone. So why is it a ghost, not a ghost? Confucius said, let’s take you to know the secret of ghosts!
Soul is a Taoist concept, which is described in Zuo Zhuan, seven years of Zhaogong: “when life begins to change, it is called soul, that is, soul, Yang is called soul; if you use more things, your soul is strong.” It can be seen that the concept of soul originated quite early.
1. Taoism believes that people have three souls. After death, the soul will dissipate and the soul will be exiled to hell. So the soul of the lonely ghost is the soul, not the soul.
2. The Taoist family believes that people will live underground after death. If a person has no offspring before his death, he will have no people to worship him, and it will be very difficult in the underworld, so he will run to the sun to find food, and he will become a ghost.
3. Although the ghosts have a hard time, they are not bad ghosts and will not do things that interfere with strangers to vent their resentment, and resentment does not mean they are ghosts.
4. So as the saying goes, kids are difficult to deal with. Those who miscarry are quite poor, and they may become ghosts.
This concept also exists in Japanese ghost culture. The corresponding monster is the koubo boy. It is said that koubo boy is a monster that haunts Iwate Prefecture. It is transformed by those aborted fetuses and prefers to live in homes and warehouses, which can only be seen by children.
Zuo fu boy can bring luck and wealth to the family, and as long as they leave, their family will fall, so those big families often invite people to trap them.
5. Ghosts cannot be judged by the moral concepts of living people. In order to persuade the wicked to repent, Buddhism said that as long as the wicked sincerely repent in hell, they will immediately go to the Western blissful event. This is how the so-called “put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot” comes.
But in fact, this is illogical. A wicked person can easily become a Buddha if he sincerely repents. The good person has to go through 91 difficulties to survive the disaster and succeed, so everyone can be a wicked person first?!
In other words, for us humans, there is no distinction between good and evil, but for people with weak Yang, if they collide with ghosts, they may get sick for a few days.
