I believe that everyone will hear or experience ghosts and gods in their daily lives, so as long as the existence of ghosts and gods is proved, can it be said that Taoist spells are real? In our country, there is really such a saying.
People who believe that Taoist magic really exists believe that everything in the universe operates according to dualism, that is, Taiji diagram, and even western dialectics is actually the relationship between Yin and Yang in Taiji diagram. Where there is yin, there is yang, and where there is reality, there is time. Since we live in a real time and space, there must be some virtual things in this time and space at the same time, but we can't perceive and see them (the yogi can see them when he opens his eyes), which involves the problem of perception. Generally, people with stronger perception are more likely to encounter some unexplained phenomena.
Taiji diagram shows that the trajectory of everything is round, the sky is round, the earth is round, and the stars in the universe are round, so the trajectory of life on the earth is also round. Therefore, the walk from birth to death is actually just a semicircle, and the other half is the road taken by the "gas field" after death. After the other half is gone, this spiritual body may be reincarnated as a human being after a period of time, or become an immortal, a Buddha, a god, or of course an animal.
Those who support Taoist witchcraft believe that ghosts, gods, immortals and buddhas all exist. Since ghosts and gods exist, Taoism's skills of repairing truth, catching ghosts and collecting ghosts really exist. In addition to the common Daoism, there are also some carpenter Daoism (Luban Daoism, lacking one), stonemason Daoism, blacksmith Daoism and so on. They are folk spells formed by some folk craftsmen after absorbing Taoist spells. Chinese medicine also has a treatment method about magic-You Zhu, which is used to treat abnormal patients, but it has been lost, so actually I can't understand its effect, so I won't talk about it any more.
In fact, in our hometown, there has always been a little spell that evokes the soul, indicating that the newborn child does not cry and has no normal external performance, so that relatives with similar blood sources, led by experts who know this spell, shout the child's name at the intersection and burn incense and paper money. This method is very effective. Generally, a child starts to cry once normally.
Of course, the debate about whether Taoism really exists or whether Taoism is just folklore is just a ramble about all sentient beings in the world. Today, when modern science is advocated, most people are still skeptical about Taoist magic, but some people think that they should take the attitude of "believing in Taoist magic" on the grounds that "the world is full of wonders" and "the mystery is unsolved or beyond the cognition of science and ordinary people".
