Who can talk about the similarities and differences between eastern and western ghost cultures? You can also recommend reference materials, such as books and papers.

First, the East is mainly a polytheistic system that combines Taoism and Buddhism.

Such as China and Japan. Their ghost culture has the shadow of these two religions, and they are combined with each other.

On the other hand, it is generally believed in the East that there are many gods. And even the highest and only heaven and earth are multiple, but there is only one at the same time.

Oriental gods generally refer to ghosts and gods, which are cultivated by other creatures and are in charge of the functions of No.1 Middle School. Belong to a generation of heaven and earth.

Great gods are naturally produced, some belong to a certain generation of heaven and earth, and more are divorced from heaven and earth. Its ability is often to reopen Conan, the destroyer, to a new world, that is, the god who created every generation of heaven and earth.

According to oriental mythology, the present world was created by Pangu. But a generation ago, some immortal people were left behind. For example, the master of Sanqing in Taoism is an immortal who existed a generation ago. Sanqing is also an immortal who transcends this generation and can live to the next generation or even more.

The ghosts in the East, strictly speaking, are unable to compete with God, although there are many kinds of ghosts. Ghosts are more influenced by Buddhism, and the division of six prisons and eighteen prisons can be found in Buddhism.

There are demons in the East who can mainly compete with God, and more should be scattered immortals. Demons still have various characteristics, mainly harming people. And scattered immortals, although they have immortal names, do not necessarily follow the right path and listen to the words of immortals.

Second, compared with the East, the ghost culture in the West has not formed a relatively complete dominant system.

There are mainly two kinds of ghost cultures in the west. One is polytheistic culture, such as Nordic mythology, Greek mythology and Roman mythology.

The other is the Jewish ghost culture with a single god, which is the cross-like culture we often see.

In the monotheistic culture of ghosts and gods, only God, Jehovah, is God, and Jesus is the Son, not God, which belongs to the level of daily envoys.

There are many layers of angels under God, from the highest angel without substance to the lowest angel with substance that we often see in paintings, and then to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit mainly comes from the souls of creatures in the universe who respect God's laws.

Its opposite is the devil, such as Satan. Satan is the king of the devil. There are demons and fallen angels under him, and there are demons under the devil. But the main force of the underworld is fallen angels, who became a demon with Satan.

Satan was originally the leader of angels in the sky, ranking below God and above angels, commanding angels in the sky.

After the son was born, God ranked his son above Satan, making Satan become two saints from one God.

Satan refuses to accept, leads his cronies to rebel from the underworld, and leads the devil and fallen angels to fight against heaven.

He can defeat the son Jesus, and only God and the Lord can defeat him, but he can't be completely destroyed.

One of the battles between gods and demons can be seen in Paradise Lost, which is a western oil painting book with Chinese translation and corresponding paintings and descriptions in China.
