Are ghosts four kinds of ghosts? What are the differences?

1. What kind of ghost is a ghost?

China's culture is profound, and many Chinese characters can't even read, let alone write. As a top player who uses uncommon words, "Eating Liang" has embarrassed China people for many years. It is estimated that you first heard this word in The Journey to the West's theme song "Why are there so many magic whips? My old man is coming ~ "

Two years ago, with the help of Tik Tok's divine comedy "Desert Camel", ghosts ran rampant and caught people's eyes again. Many people think that ghosts represent four kinds of imps, namely ghosts, ghosts, ghosts and ghosts. But in fact, "ghost" refers to ghosts, ghosts and ghosts.

Second, the origin of ghosts

The word "enchanting and beautiful" first appeared in Zuo Zhuan's Three Years of Gong Xuan, and the original text was: "There was virtue in the past summer. Far away, pay tribute to Jin Jiu for grazing, cast a tripod as something, and prepare everything to make the people know God's treachery; So when people enter Kawasawa Mountain, they can't meet anything or each other. Energy can be used in the upper and lower floors to inherit the rest of the day. "

It means that the Xia Dynasty was virtuous, and the monarch asked people to paint distant things into images. Then he ordered people to offer bronze to cast Jiuding, and draw the shape of everything on Jiuding to let the people know: what is God and what is disaster. In this way, when people enter the forest, they will not be afraid of meeting evil spirits and monsters, but will also take the initiative to avoid these ghosts. In this way, God bless the harmony between the monarch and the minister, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Third, what are the charms?

1, turn: In Shuowen, the earliest ancient Chinese dictionary in China, it is interpreted as "If the dragon is yellow", which means a yellow monster like a dragon. It harms people in mountainous areas all the year round, and some people call it "Shan Gui". Its image is somewhat similar to the "country" and it is one of the nine sons of the dragon. It looks like a dragon, but it has no horns on its head.

2. Charm: Charm notes in Shuo Wen Jie Zi that "the old and refined things are called charm", and Zheng Xuan also shows that charm is the god of all things. This kind of monster often appears in folk mystery novels, such as spider essence, fox spirit, snake essence and so on. Guo Pu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote in his book Mystery Story: "The chitose tree spirit is a blue sheep, and the long live tree spirit is a blue cow, so many people travel around the world. For example, some ancient trees will become thinner, the Millennium tree essence will become a green sheep, and the Millennium tree essence will become a green cow.

3. Ghost: usually refers to a water ghost or plague god that can bring harm to people. However, there are two kinds of disputes about the type of this ghost. One thinks that Mianmian is a water ghost, which is fierce and scary when it grows in the water; The other generation refers to the god of plague, who grows in the river basin and likes to scare children and spread plague.

There is a record in the novel "Searching for the Gods" in the Jin Dynasty: "In the past, the Xiang family had three sons and died as a plague ghost. Living in the river is a ghost abuse, living in the water is a ghost, living in the palace, an amazing child, and a kid. " This shows that the ghost who lives in Ruoshui is one of Zhuan Xu's sons and is good at making waves in the water.
