South Korea's "Ghosts" went from 2016 to 2017, and recently finally ushered in a happy ending! This drama not only set the male gods Kong You and Lee Dong Wook on fire, but also made the demons and ghosts in Korean folklore also on fire! However, there are also many mysterious ghosts in Chinese folklore.
In Lingnan folklore, there is a monster who specializes in abducting children - Cat Rong Po!
The cat rong po cat head, often cover the forehead with ears, dressed as an old woman to abduct the child for their own consumption. They live in dead trees at the top of the hill, and the crows are their messengers. As soon as someone passed by, the crow would report to the cat Rong Po. There are similar legends in Fujian and Taiwan, but the name is "Tiger Auntie", which is a variation of tiger essence.
However, this monster didn't have much mana, only that mouth. Legend has it that the cat Rong Po has a third eye on the top of her head, and just poking this eye blind can kill her.
In the "Guangyang Miscellaneous Records", there is also a youkai, called the Yellow Demon.
"Between the calm and the quiet, there are things like cats, and the first big color is yellow, and people call 'yellow demons'. When the domestic cat saw it, he went with it, drank from the river to cleanse his stomach, and listened to his food before the demon. The demon licks it with its tongue, and the hair falls with the licking, and eats it with the cat. ”
This kind of monster is named "Yellow Demon" because of a ring of golden hair around the waist, the ears are very special, the right is high and the left is low, at first glance there is no difference from the cat, but it likes to eat domestic cats! Eating it is particularly cruel, lick the cat skin again, the cat skin will naturally fall off. Then the yellow demon pulled out the intestines of the domestic cat and ate them one by one, then ate the flesh and blood, and finally licked the bones clean...
Moreover, the domestic cat was yellow in front of the yellow demon, obediently preparing to die, and also went to the river to wash the stomach and intestines, lying in front of the yellow demon waiting for it to eat itself. Uh, isn't it true that the Yellow Demon will be deceived? ......
Legend has it that the yellow demon will come out to eat cats on the twenty-second day of every month, and in some places, in order to protect their cats, they will prepare long poles to expel the yellow demons, so there is a custom of "pole yellow demons".
The Yellow Demon was first derived from Pu Songling's Zhiwei novel "Liaozhai Zhiyi", which has been quoted by various divine novels. However, whether the Yellow Demon is a monster or an animal is still controversial. In some areas, the Yellow Demon is the Weasel.
Although cats have their own supernatural atmosphere, in Kunming, Yunnan Province, there is a folk custom of placing a tile cat town house in the middle of the roof. In fact, this tile cat is not a cat, but a tiger in a cat. In ancient times, there was a legend that "the gods and goddesses held the ghosts to feed the tigers", so the tile cat was the "ghost eater tiger" that guarded the door of the house.
Even with the protection of the tile cat, when he was a child, if he listened to the story of The Wolf Grandma at night, he still did not dare to go to the toilet alone. But in Shandong, Henan and other places, adults scare children do not have to say wolf grandmother, say "Mahu is coming", children will stop and do not make trouble.
Legend has it that Ma Hu is a demon who eats children, and people in the countryside of Jiaodong also call Ma Hu Ma Hu, but his original form was actually just a cool official.
The legend of Mahu is related to the Sui Dynasty Emperor's Canal, and the Sui Testament says:
"(Emperor Huan) ordered the Yuntun general Ma Shumou to merge the Yellow River into the Bi causeway and win the giant ship. Uncle, very cool... To this day, I have been crying, and I have heard people say 'Ma Hu Lai', that is, to stop. His false accusations are fearful. ”
The Sui Dynasty Emperor Recruited more than two million workers for the Canal, including a man named Ma Shumou, who supervised the work in Ningling County, Henan. A beard with a long face, known as "ma beard". This man is fierce, and some people say that he has a habit of eating children. So as soon as you hear "Mahu is coming", children will be scared to pee.
Even the great literary hero Lu Xun used this legend in the "Twenty-Four Filial Pieties of Chao Hua Xi Shi":
"It can turn all of China into a hemp beard, and every child will die in his belly."
Mahu is the nemesis of bear children, but if you walk on the road and find your shadow a little strange, you have encountered a shadow ghost.
Shadow ghosts like to follow the shadow of walking alone, and then slowly surpass the shadow of the person to do bad things.
Don't panic when you encounter a shadow ghost. The folk saying is that if you are a woman, take off your right shoe and throw it into the sky, and if you are a man, take off your left shoe. Then jump seven seven forty-nine steps with one foot, and after jumping, you will turn around and yell "roll", and the shadow ghost will be scared away.
Shadow ghosts love to joke, and some places in the countryside also hide mischievous tree ghosts in tree holes.
The ghost who lived in the tree lived in the tree hole, and his body was dry and withered, and he had a vicious face.
"Man must not be disfigured". The ghosts in the trees are not bad, and their favorite thing to do is to hide behind the trees and create all kinds of supernatural events to scare the villagers and make people worship them as tree gods.
But not everyone can succeed, and in some places people think that the trees have dried up because the ghosts in the trees have been cut down by people who have worked hard to plant them in exchange for money. So think of this monster as an evil being. Reduced to selling the tree for money, the ghost living in the tree should also be a Luthor in the ghost world...
Some ghosts also like to do HR and choose people to inherit their mantle, such as living in unclean alleys.
Ghosts who live in impure alleys, as the name suggests, are ghosts who live in dirty places, and the places where they live are smelly and not something that ordinary people can tolerate.
They were also lords who did not love cleanliness before they died, and they would become ghosts who lived in unclean alleys after death. And once they have the right heirs, the unclean alley ghosts will make them become as sloppy as themselves... Uh, the text jun was so frightened that he quickly cleaned up his small room!
There are some small ghosts in front, and the ghost mother is the boss-level existence.
As early as the "Chu Ci", there is such a record: "The female Qi has no union, and the husband takes the nine sons?" This "nuqi" is the ghost mother.
/Ogi/
It is said that the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different, and the ghost mother is also equally productive, but the ghost mother gives birth in the morning, and after sunset, she will eat her own child, and there is no different problem.
The Book of Narratives contains:
"There is a ghost mother in the Xiaoyu Mountains of the South China Sea, who can produce heaven, earth, and ghosts." Ten ghosts are born at a time, and there are ghosts and goddesses in the present day. Tiger head dragon foot, python eyebrows. ”
The ghost mother tiger head dragon foot, not only a child, but also the creation of heaven and earth, comparable to Pangu. She's a foodie. In the Legend of the Night Fork, it is said that the ghost mother was eventually killed by the divine beast Bai Ze. Alas, if you want to blame yourself, you have too much appetite! Now shout your throat and no one will come to your rescue.
There is also nothing humane about waste.
Legend has it that he wore a red robe and had a cow nose. The foot wearing the shoes landed on the ground, while the other foot hung around the waist, and an iron fan was inserted around the waist. It not only loves to steal things, but also likes to destroy people's good deeds and bring disasters to people.
Legend has it that Waste also has a story with Tang Xuanzong. One night, Tang Xuanzong had a dream. In the dream, a little ghost stole Tang Xuanzong's favorite jade flute and Yang Guifei's sachet! Tang Xuanzong was in a hurry and shouted at the little devil, and the little devil smiled and said that his name was waste.
The emperor's waste was not so lucky, and he was torn in half and eaten by the big ghost Zhong Kui who came to escort him. Since then, hanging a statue of a bell on the door to drive away waste has become a Chinese folk custom.
To tell the truth, this wasted combat effectiveness is really weak, even if it is not hung up on the statue of the bell, it can be driven away by lighting lamps and beating drums. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the "Chronicle of the Dawn of the Stove Lamp" is loaded, and everyone goes to the Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the stove, "light the lamp in the stove at night, which is called a waste of illumination".
In contrast, insidious psychics are not so easy to dispatch. Psychics are good at confusing the world, and their clever tongues make people mistakenly think that they are so powerful that they obey them, sounding a bit like the leaders of cults.
But don't say, some legends really think that the magic ghost is still the leader of the cult after death, in the human world to let the world go crazy, even to the underworld is not a fuel-saving lamp.
After seeing so many indescribable ghosts and monsters in Chinese folklore, the text Jun was frightened to eat a pack of 82 years of spicy strips to suppress the shock!
