introduce
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods mainly because they didn't know much about nature, so they believed in ghosts and gods. In feudal society, many legends and stories were related to monsters. From these legends, we can see that the ancients had rich imagination, and the word "ghost" appeared in many literary works. Many people think that this is a general term for monsters, but it is not. So what kind of monster does this word represent?
First of all, the true identity of the ghost
Many people think that ghosts should be the generalization of all monsters by the ancients, but isn't this the case? In fact, this word is not a general term for monsters, nor does it represent four kinds of monsters, but three kinds. Among them, "raccoon" is a kind, "charm" is a kind, and another kind is called "ghost" So what are these three monsters?
First of all, the first monster is called Zhuan. According to ancient records, it is a mountain monster that lives in the mountains. Fast and big, likes to eat people. Many animals of this monster are no match for it, and they are good at camouflage. They often hide by the quiet roadside, waiting for the arrival of pedestrians. Once someone comes, they will immediately step forward, catch pedestrians and eat them.
Secondly, charm, which is a kind of tree monster in the mountains, often dresses up as a beautiful woman, and once someone comes, it immediately traps people, also referring to a good-looking ghost. The last kind of monster is called ghost, which has many origins. Ghost is the son of Zhuan Xu, an ancient tribal leader. Later, the ghost was drowned and became a water monster.
Second, the extended meaning of monsters
Nowadays, although times have changed, the meanings of many proverbs have also changed. After all, many concepts of ancient people and modern people are different. There are also some changes in the meaning of the word "ghosts". Although these three monsters are only introduced on the surface, they are more often metaphors for some bad guys. They are like monsters, endangering the people, and demonizing these people with ghosts and ghosts, showing the people's dislike of these people.
Historically, the word ghost appeared in many ancient books. Because the ancients knew little about nature, they regarded some unknown creatures as ghosts. In fact, this also reflects the ancient people's cognition of nature. With the development of the times, people's cognition has reached a certain height, and they have a clearer understanding of everything in nature. Therefore, modern society rarely mentions ghosts and advocates science.
