1, the spirit that the ancients imagined could exist independently from the human body. Possession leads to life, while in vitro leads to death. From "Seven Years of Zuo Gong": "A man and a woman died hard, but the soul can still cling to others and think it is lewd." Also refers to the spirit of things. Qing Sun Zhiwei's "Snake Fu": "More than 500 miles of gas is like smoke, and the bird has lost its soul."
2. Metaphor refers to the key and center of things. From Chapter 16 of Biography of Heroes of Children: "However, this place cannot be written in vain; If you write in vain, you will never be able to "stop here, so this is the case" according to the official eight-character old saying: that's why you put the tendons and veins of this article behind you and bring your soul forward. "
The idea that man has a soul first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. Some recorded Machamp's disorderly gods, and some recorded its beliefs. Huangdi Neijing, the most classic medical work in ancient China, records: "The five internal organs: the heart stores the spirit, the lung stores the spirit, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the meaning, and the kidney stores the essence. Because Huangdi Neijing is a rigorous medical work, not Machamp's unofficial history novel, the theory of soul belongs to a rigorous theory of ancient people's understanding of the human body, not Machamp's fantasy theory. ?
