Do people really have three souls and seven spirits?

In life, we often hear people say that someone has no soul, or that he has no soul, or that three souls have lost seven souls. Although it is a mantra, in people's minds, people should have three souls and seven souls. So what are these three souls and seven spirits? Although science can't prove the existence of three souls and seven spirits, the ancients had a special explanation for three souls and seven spirits.

Three Souls-Three Soul Gods Dominating Human Consciousness

The ancients thought the soul was on it. In the Taoist cloud seven signs, the three souls are described as follows: "There are three souls in the body, one is called fetal light, which is too bright and peaceful; One is called Shuangling, and the change of Yin Qi is also; A subtle spirit is also mixed with yin qi. . . "The following are the names of the three souls: fetal light, refreshing spirit and quiet spirit. Fetal light is pure Yang Qi, which is present at the time of fertilization; Shuangling is pure Yin Qi, where embryos are formed; The essence of subtlety is the mixture of yin and impurities formed in the process of human growth after birth. So three souls have yin and yang. If yin is more than yang, people will feel groggy and mentally exhausted, and the five veins of kidney, qi, spleen and stomach will be blocked, and diseases will be manifested. If the fetus is not bright and only the soul is left, people will be unconscious, that is, they will lose their souls.

Do three souls and seven spirits really exist?

The ancients believed that human beings are the most spiritual creatures between heaven and earth, and people not only have super thinking ability, but also creativity. People's behavior and emotions are controlled by people's souls, in which the soul is transformed from the spirit of Yin and Yang, the soul is formed by the turbid spirit of Yin and Yang, and the soul is a mixture of Yin and Yang, and the soul is in charge of people's secular desires and life and death. In modern terms, for example, the human body is a computer, the three souls are the system software that controls the operation of our whole computer, and the seven souls are the application programs that play various functions. Once the three souls and seven spirits disappear, human life will be over.
