Let me start with a concept. In ancient times, witches were women and wizards were men. Witches are regarded as the gods who communicate heaven and earth. The burning witch can let the witch go to heaven and tell the emperor about the drought on the earth. Only when women are combined with the sun can it rain, so there is a saying that women are sacrificed to beg for rain. A way to gather wizards? The method is actually the sacrifice of the living, which is very horrible and inhuman. Are we there yet? Zuozhuan? You can also see the description of the living sacrifice in it? Summer drought, public desire to burn witches? This is the very bad thing about superstition.
What about now? Shan Hai Jing? The story in "Ugly Woman's Body", briefly explain, one is called? Ugly? Witch, then from birth, was destined to bear the sun's exposure to ask for rain, but once ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, and one of them was hot enough, not to mention ten suns. It is estimated that everyone can melt in the sun, so superstition was introduced to prepare sacrifices to the living to ask for rain, otherwise the crops would not be harvested. What was chosen? Ugly? Yes, I have been exposed to the sun for a long time.
But she died directly from the sun. When she died, she covered her face with the sleeve of her right hand. Very painful. Indeed, if she were herself, it would be a hell on earth. At that time, beginners were superstitious and thought they were doing the right thing, but the ultimate success was because the ugly tragic death made the emperor feel sorry for her, so Hou Yi was sent down to earth and shot nine suns, and people resumed their normal lives, but it was a pity that ugly.
