In ghost stories, why are there only zombies and corpses of the Qing Dynasty?

It's not that only the Qing Dynasty had zombies and corpse-drivers, but there were already zombies and corpse-drivers before. It's just that many zombies in film and television works are dressed by Qing officials and then jump around, which makes us feel as if only the Qing Dynasty had this.

So this is actually just the format of the film crew's thinking about the images of zombies, corpse drivers and Taoist priests at that time, rather than saying that zombies only existed in the Qing Dynasty.

There should be a lot of novels about Xiangxi corpse driver, that is, at dawn, there was a man dressed as a Taoist, holding a gong and a yellow symbol in his hand, shouting to make way for strangers, and Yin people walked by, followed by a group of jumping corpses. These bodies are covered with black sacks, covered with black cloth on their faces and wearing yellow symbols on their heads. They look gloomy.

Because novels are all from life, there must be some in his real life, but they should not be as fantastic as the novels say. China people have a feeling of falling leaves and returning to their roots. If you die in a place that doesn't belong to you, your soul will be trapped there for life.

Although there are also two professions: corpse driver and corpse carrier, novels and film and television dramas describe this profession, which is very fantastic. Even put the bodies in a string with a straw rope and ring a bell in front to direct them to go.

But in fact, there shouldn't be such a powerful secret technique, but it doesn't rule out that there really is such a stunt. Because it is true that the old people on our side said before that the people who drive the bodies are very powerful old Taoist priests, and they can't do it without a little effort.
