Deception is a very terrible and ignorant act of harming people, and it is a vice caused by the unopened wisdom of the ancient people. This article makes a systematic analysis of the stories of cheating that occurred in ancient times, how to treat the people who cheated, and the legal regulations on punishing the people who let out the cheats.
There are many meanings of philological deception, the main one meaning is "belly worm" solution, from worm, from dish. A dish is a rice box, rice bowl, or other utensil for food and drink (the word worm symbolizes several worms).
"Belly worm" is that a lot of worms have invaded the human stomach, that is, it has been hit by the "poison of insect food" - a poison that enters from the outside in. The effect of many insects invading people's stomach and intestines is called clams, also known as middle clams. Millet is stored in the warehouse for a long time, and the skin chaff will become a flying insect, which the ancients also called it a clam.
Zuo Chuanzhao said in the first year of the common era: "Gu Zhifei is also a clam." Note: "Gu Jiuji, then become a flying clam, the name of the clam." "Flying insects that change from chaff are different from rice bran: flying insects can fly, but rice bran cannot fly. The species of clams is caused by many insects mixed together. The Materia Medica says: The maker catches a hundred worms and puts them in a vessel. These hundred worms eat small ones, and the last one that lives in the vessel is called a worm. It can be known that the clam was originally a medicine that specializes in treating poisonous sores. Only later was he used to harm people.
Poisonous clams are mostly cultivated in the southern provinces of China, and there are many types, including dungs, horse locusts, golden silkworms, grass clams and pickworms. When others are not paying attention, the person who lets the deception puts the clam into the food, and after eating it, it will be infected with the poison, and the person who is infected with the poison will suffer from a chronic disease. In a modern view, this is a man-made strange disease caused by the poison of many protozoa.
Golden silkworm is the most poisonous: the golden silkworm is cultivated in the remote areas of Sichuan Province, and gradually spread in Hunan and Fujian, the skin of the silkworm is golden, and it is fed four inches of silk every day, and the feces it is released are put in food, and those who swallow it will get sick and die. Legend has it that this kind of deception will make the person who raises it rich, and it will also cause disaster to the person who raises it, so it cannot be offended.
If you have no intention of continuing to provide for it, you must prepare a small box, put some gold and silver silk, put the golden silkworm noodles, and then put this small box on the side of the road, and let others take the box away, called the marriage gold silkworm. The golden silkworm is very harmful to the human body, it is like a corpse worm born on the corpse after death, after invading the stomach of the person, it will eat the human stomach. Its resistance is very strong, the water does not die, the fire does not die, and the knife does not die (see the Materia Medica quoted cai Youcong).
Snakes and lice:
People in some remote areas specialize in raising swindlers and looting money. Some of the clams raised by these people are snake clams, and some are lice clams. The snake is enlarged on the fifth day of the first month of May, the small snake is in the tile altar, and the lice are made by gathering most of the lice. Both of these poisons can kill people, especially if the lice invade the human abdomen, they will eat up the internal organs.
The cheater saw a rich family and planned to put the cheat in. The deceiver will die without medical treatment, and the property of the deceased will be moved into the house of the deceiver. After raising this kind of murderous clam, the owner of the clam must use the clam to kill people continuously, one per year, and if the interval of three years does not kill people with the clam, the clam owner himself will die of the clam.
Needle and Wool Therapy:
Needles:
The needle is caused by the liquid essence of the poisonous insect. The exorcism record: There was a man who asked the doctor for help, and the doctor told him to take a black bean in his mouth and take a kind of Chinese medicine called Gui Soul Scatter, and as a result, he spat out a lot of wool and rotten paper in his mouth, and there was a black seed, which was a black seed, which was surrounded by wool, and was bound by an inch of hemp rope, and the hemp rope was knotted at one end, and the other was scattered, and there were countless small dried worms stuck on it.
Another person who was a trick called for help, and the doctor prescribed: wrapped the yellow powder with green cloth, added mountain beetle and soap horn powder, dipped in hot shochu, wiped all over the body, wiped out a lot of wool, and there was also wool sticking out of the ears, and the doctor called this kind of clam a wool boil.
According to the Records of the Emperor Jin, some wool boils are five colors, and some are one foot long. The method of treatment is: ask the patient to take the five-flavor disinfectant drink, that is, use green cloth to wrap the male yellow powder, dip in hot shochu, use it to wipe the front and back of the heart, first rub a large circle, then rub a small circle, rub the front heart when the wool boils will move to the back heart, wipe the back heart when the wool boils will move to the front heart, to rub it repeatedly, the wool will appear, and the wool taken out will dig a deep pit to bury it.
Plant Clams:
In the seventeenth year of Ming Chongzhen (1644 AD), a plant deception case occurred in Guangzhu. In the mountain forest of Xiangshan County, there is a grass called Hu Man Grass, the leaves are like lettuce flowers, there are yellow, there are white, the leaves contain high poison, put into the human mouth, people will bleed in hundreds of holes; if the leaf juice is swallowed into the stomach, the stomach will also fester. The local people often use the weed to deceive people.
In the spring of a certain year in the Chongzhen era, Luo Mingkui, a native of Yunnan, went to Xiangshan County as a county order, and after learning about the plot of the harm of the hu man grass, he ordered: Ordinary people who sue the officials in this county should each pay fifty sticks of hu man grass. After this order was given, the grass was cut down. Luo Xian ordered the confiscated poisonous weeds to personally supervise the burning of miscellaneous servants, and soon this poisonous weed was extinct in Xiangshan.
Local doctors also have a prescription for curing the poison of the cranberry grass: take an egg hatched by the hen (there is no long chick), cook it, grind it into a fine powder, add a tablespoon of clear oil, and the person who is poisonous in the cranberry will spit out the cranberry once a day. Trick in the "mane", add bile? Five minutes, melt in hot tea and take it, you will spit out the clam. In the "lower mane", use the tulip water two coins to put in the vegetable soup to take it, and the clam will also spit it out (see Guangzhi, DaoGuang Nian Xiu).
Flower Shooter:
The "flower shooting" of ancient society is also a method of deception. In Chinese folklore, some women who have fled the wilderness, wrapped in a blue cloth on their heads, walk to a house, hold his hand when greeting people, pat his palm a few times, and say "good, good." The next day, the person who had been patted on the palm of her hand would suddenly turn the ground upside down. There was a family that had this situation, asked Chinese medicine for treatment, only to find out after the break that this person was deceived, and later through the treatment of people who specialized in curing deception, after taking the medicine, he spat out dozens of paper balls in his mouth, and this paper ball was a cheat.
Puppets and paper people can also be used to harm people, but the use of puppets is different from the use of poisonous insects to create clams. The latter is a clam caused by a living insect, but the puppet is made of wood and cannot be poisonous. But witches will use puppets and paper men to disturb the peace of others.
The "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" written by The Qing Dynasty Ji Xiaolan records that a warlock specializes in making wooden people (that is, puppets) and paper tigers (that is, paper people) to make strange things, disturb others, and the parties send him money, and the wooden people and paper tigers will temporarily stop acting strangely, and after a while they will recur. Chatting with Zai Zhiyi also remembered the story of puppets and paper people. Jealous of the emperor, Jin Zhangzong's concubine Li Shi (李氏) once asked a witch named Li Dingnu to cut paper to make a paper wooden man and make a Mandarin duck charm to make a monster (see Jin Shi vol. 64).
Herbs to cure the worm:
Ancient medicine is not developed, if someone is infected with poison, usually treated in two ways: one is to take herbs,
Zhou Li called this herb Jia Cao (see Shu Shi Note), one is to pray to the gods, ask the gods to send down medicine, the history has "Qin De Gong as a temple, the four gates of the dog, to ward off the plague." (See the Book of Sealed Zen).
The Book of Later Han says: In the midsummer month, a beige rope was used to connect meat vegetables with Mimu to extinguish the poison, and a peach tree was hung on the gate to drive away evil spirits (see Liturgical Chronicle). The Compendium of Materia Medica cites ancient remedies for the treatment of strange poisons, which are collected on May 5 every year to make a lot of poisonous insects, which are mainly used to cure bad sores, but later some people used this kind of worm to harm people.
Folk also have the act of "gathering five poisons" and drinking Xionghuangjiu and rubbing Xionghuangjiu on the neck at noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, which is intended to prevent sores. In the countryside of Liyang County, Jiangsu Province, the pill to cure deception, in the early years, people often fell in the limelight. The local Zhulin Temple has a monk who can cure the poison of the nameless species, and makes a pill specifically for the treatment of poison, and the price of a pill is a silk horse, which cures many patients who are deceived.
Han Huang, who was a local "observation envoy", built a temple next to the hot spring in Liyang County in order to eradicate the poison, asked the senior monk who understood medicine at Zhulin Temple to preside over it, specifically to treat the poison that occurred in the folk, and asked the senior monk to publicly carve the prescription on the stone stele. The cure for this deception is to take a newborn peach at the beginning of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year, and crush its skin into fine powder, and the amount is two dollars. Another plate of minced shrimp for a dollar, first fried with wheat bran, and then with two dollars of raw rice paste, the three medicinal rice soup and mixed together, kneaded into a ball as large as a jujube core, as long as the person in the middle swallows this pill with rice soup, it will be poisoned. In the first year of Emperor Wu's conquest of the Chang'an Han Palace (92 BC), a series of puppet witchcraft cases occurred in the Chang'an Han Palace, which were caused by a Jingshi grand hero named Zhu Anshi, and also implicated the father and son of Gongsun He, the chancellor of the dynasty, and finally even Emperor Wu's crown prince, Liu Zhao, the prince of Wu, was also wrongfully killed.
The first case of witchcraft was caused by Gongsun He himself. Gongsun He was at that time serving as a chancellor in the court, and he was very trusted by Emperor Wu, and his son Gongsun Jingsheng was also working as a servant in the court, and the father and son were in a state of devotion. Unfortunately, Gongsun Jingsheng's private life was improper, and he embezzled more than 19 million yuan of military funds without permission, so he was imprisoned in Chang'an Zhao Prison. At that time, the main culprit of another important case, Zhu Anshi, was at large, and Emperor Wu ordered that he must be arrested. Gongsun He was in love with his son and assured Emperor Wu that he would arrest Zhu Anshi, but demanded that his son Gongsun Jingsheng be released. His request was approved by Emperor Wu. After Zhu Anshi was arrested, emperor Chen of Emperor Wu of The Han Dynasty sued Gongsun Jingsheng for adultery with Emperor Wu's daughter Princess Yangshi, and Gongsun Jingsheng cursed Emperor Wu in the temple for his early death, and buried puppets as witches on the chi road that Emperor Wu often passed, in order to promote Emperor Wu's early death. These things were all nonsense, at that time, in the later years of Emperor Wu's life, he was worried about death every day, and he believed it to be true, and killed both Gongsun He and Princess Yangshi.
The second case was caused by Jiang Chong, a close minister of Emperor Wu. Jiang Chong served as a public security and guard in the dynasty, and was very trusted by Emperor Wu. He handled the guard incident in the palace, even the prince did not pay attention to it, thus offending the prince, Jiang Chong was not a person without selfishness, he was worried that the prince would not let him go once he ascended to the emperor's throne, it just so happened that there was an incident in the palace where Gongsun He's father and son harmed Emperor Wu for deception, Jiang Chong took this opportunity to hand over the matter of the palace to Jiang Chong to deal with, Jiang Chong really dug out a pair of puppet witches in the tunnels in the palace of the prince, falsely accused the prince of harming Emperor Wu, and urged Emperor Wu to die early. In order to protect himself, the prince killed Jiang Chong and ran away, and the people in the palace said that the prince wanted to rebel, and after killing Jiang Chong, he fled. Later, the prince was also forced to commit suicide.
There were some deceitful things in ancient society, but the above two things were fake. Judging from the two cases of witchcraft that occurred in the Han Dynasty, it can be seen that deception has poisoned people for a long time in Chinese society.
The Sui Dynasty court also had an invisible disturbance. In the home of the Sui Dynasty general Lonely, there was a servant named Xu Ani, who had the habit of worshiping cats and ghosts, and every night when she was late at night, she secretly got up, prepared offerings and burned incense to worship the cat ghost, (the son belonged to the mouse, the child worshiped the cat, suggesting that the mouse sacrificed the cat), the more she worshiped the spirit, the cat ghost often moved the property of other families to her.
When Du Lonely was not yet an official, he was idle at home and had a penchant for drinking, and his wife refused to give money to buy wine, so Du Lonely had to ask Xu Ani for wine. Arnie replied, "There is no money for wine." Du Lonely said, "Why don't you tell the cat ghost to go to yue gong's house to get money to buy wine?" Ani had to pray secretly, and in less than an hour, the money for the wine was delivered, and Du Lonely was so greedy and insatiable that he kept asking Ani to take money from the cat ghost to buy wine.
After Du Lonely became an official because of his internal relations, one day he said to Xu Ani in the garden: "You called the cat ghost to say to the Du lonely queen (Du Lonely's half-sister): My family has no money, please ask the queen to give me money often." Ani prayed to the cat ghost according to his words, and the cat ghost went to the Sui Palace and asked for something from the Lone Queen.
Xu Ani once arranged a table in an empty room in the palace, and on the table was a basin of fragrant porridge and a spoon, and knocked on the porridge bowl with a spoon and said, "Miss Cat, you come to eat porridge." But you can't live in the palace. She prostrated her head in prayer, and there were words in her mouth, and before long, her face was livid, her limbs seemed to be holding her, and she said, "The cat ghost has arrived." This matter was referred to Emperor Wen of Sui (589-604 AD), who said: This is a kind of monster, ordered Xu Ani to be driven away, and soon Du Lonely was executed, his brother pleaded with Emperor Wen to be relieved of his official title, and the cat ghost also disappeared (see Sui Shu Du Lonely Biography).
In the Song Dynasty, the people who controlled the deception of people and the people who slandered people often spread to the imperial court in criminal cases. In the eighth year of the Song Renzong Qing calendar (1048 AD), Renzong looked at the criminal cases reported by the imperial court on Fujian Road (Province) one day, and found that people often let people deceive and harm people, and Renzong was very sad. Again in criminal cases. There was a doctor named Lin Shiyuan in Fuzhou who used traditional Chinese medicine to treat the poison, which was very effective, and Renzong informed the close official: Lin Shiyuan's prescription for curing the deception could be handed over to the Taiyi doctor in the palace for review, and together with the secret recipes collected by the Taiyi doctors, they were compiled into a compilation, printed into a special book, issued in various ways, and forwarded to the people everywhere for use (see The Continuation of the Zhizhi Tongjian Volume 49).
The Song Dynasty was very strict with the management of people who had a history of letting go of clams and raising clams. In the second year of Taizu Qiande (964 AD), he ordered that 326 families of clam-keepers in Yongzhou (Lingling County, Hunan Province) be moved to the local poor countryside and forbidden to enter the city (ibid., vol. 4). In addition to the different types of deceptions that occurred in the Ming Dynasty, there was also a certain period of time. In a certain period of time, the poison will occur, after the attack, there is an antidote that can be lifted, and if it exceeds a certain period of time, there is no medicine to save.
During the reign of Emperor Ming Yingzong (1436-1449), Zhou Li, a merchant from Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province, grew up doing business abroad, and one year when he went to Sien Province, Guangxi Province, he accidentally met a middle-aged widow surnamed Chen, and after the matchmaker said that he agreed, Zhou Li agreed to join the Chen family as a husband, and since then he has been registered in the local area, and soon gave birth to a son, who was born in a flash, and his son is also sixteen years old. After people reach middle age, remembering the events of their youth, they will also have the idea of returning to the roots of the fallen leaves, his wife can't be persuaded, so he has to go, and ask his son to go back to Wujiang's hometown with his father to see, Chen Shi put a trick to Zhou Li, secretly told his son: "Your father is willing to come back, and he will solve the trick for him." Zhou Li's father and son returned to Wujiang's hometown, less than a year, Zhou Li's seizures, every day to drink a bucket of drinking water, the stomach rose like a bucket, his son said to his father: "Dad! Let's go back to Guangxi! "I miss your mother too, but I have this strange disease and can't walk!" "Dad, I'll cure you of this disease." "You're not a doctor, how can you treat a doctor?" His son followed the method his mother had taught him to cure his father's disease, and Zhou Li vomited a live crucian carp in his stomach, which his wife had given him.
The legend of the grass ghost woman:
The legendary grass ghost woman's eyes are red, just like suffering from pink eye, it is said that there is always a lot of eye droppings in the corners of the eyes, which sounds like some very dirty women, which people dare not approach. Because of such a dirty woman, who wants to approach her? So it's mysterious. Grass ghost women are all women, passed down from generation to generation, from ancient times to today, can only hear, it is impossible to see again. Some people say that this is the matriarchal society disintegrated, left by the witches of the time, as a mysterious technology to maintain women's love, dignity and even life, it sounds very reasonable, but what the truth is, who knows?
Witches should have been very powerful in that era, so where did these magic skills come from? At that time, people's understanding of the natural world, the understanding of the drugs and animals to be used by future generations of grass ghosts, was it as clever as the legend?
As more and more men hunt, matriarchal society disintegrates, and men take their prey to a neighboring village or another tribe to raise a second mother, what can the wife of the family do? I had to borrow the witch's spell, passed down from generation to generation, and how much I could maintain was counted as a final struggle against monogamy. As for the later evolution of the grass ghost into a different kind of witchcraft, it is a genetic mutation in the process of development.
When I was a child, I often heard people talk about a kind of "sticky sticky medicine" in the countryside, which is used exclusively by women and placed on any man, and the man will be dead set on the woman who puts the medicine for a lifetime. It is also said that this "sticky sticky medicine" also has a mysterious place, which can be controlled by women, stipulating the range of men's travel, if it is a medicine of five miles, then it can only be moved within a radius of five miles, and if it is five miles, there is a danger to life. There were also gentler, five miles out, and I especially wanted this woman who put the medicine, and immediately rushed back until I saw this woman. The magic of this medicine raises the status of the weaker woman in love to the level of God, which inevitably reminds people of the modern saying about the husband: the husband husband, within one zhang is the husband, and outside the one zhang, it cannot be managed. A mile away, about the outside of the house, the man out of the room is not his own man. Modern urban women, if there is a "sticky sticky" help, how much of the second milk will be reduced in the villa?
It is also said that now in some remote villages, when rushing to the market, a woman took out an umbrella and hooked a man she liked, and the man lost his soul and went with her, and he also did not change his heart for a lifetime. This story, Night Fork had heard about when she was engaged in social education in the countryside, but she was not worried, because the people who cast the spell were all women, and the objects of the hook were all men, so that the story of "hooking the umbrella" and engaging in homosexuality seemed to have never happened. I guessed that there must be "sticky sticky medicine" on this umbrella hook. Therefore, sometimes when I go to the countryside because of the relationship of work, my heart is still hanging, and I am worried that I don't know when an umbrella will be stretched out from behind and my soul and body will be taken away, and the Yelang Empire will lose its good lord. The reason why I say so much about "sticky sticky drugs" here is because I estimate that this "sticky sticky medicine", only women have absolute copyright, and it is also one of the medicinal skills of grass ghost women. The woman who made the umbrella was the grass ghost woman or her followers.
Grass ghost women seem to live in the countryside, the city does not know, but never heard of grass ghost women living in the city, perhaps the city population is too large, grass ghost women practice when they are easy to be bumped into, not easy to hide, right?
Wikipedia:
In the history of Western Hunan Province, there was a Tusi Dynasty that existed for 800 years and practiced a very cruel feudal serfdom. Ordinary people are oppressed, women have a more miserable fate than men, and they have no right to life. Women in western Hunan (especially Hmong women)
For the sake of the minimum right to subsistence, they are forced to take measures to protect themselves. They caught dozens of smaller poisonous animals from the mountains, put them together in buckets and covered them with lids, not feeding them, forcing the hungry critters to kill each other. The hungry critters ate the big and the small, leaving the last largest animal. The remaining largest animal is full of the toxicity of dozens of poisonous small animals, becoming a highly toxic animal, being dried and ground into a powder, stored in a bottle, that is, "poison". If a woman in Western Hunan is violated, she will quietly pour the poison hidden in her fingernails into the enemy's teacup, wine cup or meal, or in a water tank, which is "letting go of the deception". Only those who let go of the deception have their own antidote. After liberation, this custom no longer flourished.
The "trick" of Xiangxi and the "head-lowering technique" of Thailand are known as the two major evil arts in Southeast Asia. Xiangxi's trickery is the same as Xiangxi's exorcism, and it has not been able to point out its true situation so far. Unlike the exorcism of corpses, the exorcism is almost all left in the Xiangxi region, while the exorcism of corpses is mainly spread in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Pupu in western Hunan Province. It is commonly known as the "grass ghost" in the Western Hunan region, and it is said that it is only attached to women and endangers others. Those so-called deceitful women are called "grass ghost women".
What the so-called deception method and deception are, except for the sayings passed down from generation to generation, no one has ever seen it, but it is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Almost the entire Miao people believe in deception, but the weight varies from place to place.
In the conceptual world of the Miao people, there are snakes, frogs, ants, and so on. If the clam multiplies too much in the person who has the cheat, and if he cannot find anything to eat, he will attack the cheater himself, ask for food, make the clam owner uncomfortable, and will let the clam out to harm others.
In fact, this kind of intimidating deception is not the patent of the Miao people. Trickery has long been widely spread in the ancient Jiangnan region of ancient China. Originally, clams were insects that were born in utensils, and later, moths and other objects that were born after grain decay were also called worms. The ancients believed that the clams had mysterious properties and great toxicity, so they were also called poisonous clams, which could cause diseases through diet and enter the human body. The patient seems to be deluded by a ghost and is confused. The pre-Qin people mentioned that worms mostly refer to mysterious poisonous insects that occur naturally. The long-term superstition of poisonous clams has also developed the concepts and practices of creating deceitful people. According to scholars, in the Central Plains during the Warring States period, people already used and taught methods of creating deception and harming people.
The Miao people are in many remote areas, and the old medicine is backward, and many diseases are not effectively treated. Therefore, every time the medical treatment is ineffective, it is often blamed on deception. With the popularization of scientific and cultural knowledge in Miao areas and the improvement of medical standards, the influence of trickstering superstitions is now becoming less and less in Miao areas.
In the Miao District of Western Hunan Province, it is a patent for women, called The Woman. Although no one can come up with concrete evidence, outsiders and even locals are convinced of the existence of the cheaters, and there is even a saying that "there is no cheating and no village". A poor and ragged elderly woman was pointed out by the villagers and recognized as a, and she could not turn over in her life, and finally died in poverty, probably because a child who ate a piece of her sweet rice stick many years ago and died of an inexplicable illness after returning home, and it was believed that she had put a slug in her food. Miaodi has many miasmas, many poisonous insects, and there are not few people who die suddenly for no reason, so the clams have a solid foundation for making something out of nothing in the gossip. For travelers outside the mountains, the mystery and horror of the deception are even more nerve-stimulating. According to legend, many of the women are young women, living alone, if they look at which foreigner, they will put the cheats in the tea he drinks, and the foreigners will get strange diseases, they can't get up in the camp, the medicine is useless, and finally the clear-eyed people point out (how many and how many blind people in the village are needed at this time) to know that they are deceived, and only the cheater himself can be cured. In this way, the cunning woman controlled this unfortunate offspring and honestly took him by her side. The effect of deception is not all in taking people's lives, but also in controlling people and threatening people, which may be a more frightening thing than death.
This kind of clam is a woman who catches a very poisonous insect in the mountains, sometimes a centipede, sometimes a scorpion, who goes home and feeds it with her own menstrual blood in a crock pot, chanting mantras on it every day. After the cultivation of the poisonous insect is extremely fat, roasted and ground into a powder, hidden in the nails, to the people's tea bowl is very hidden, the clam is put away. It is said that the method of this bullet is also very exquisite, there is a finger bullet, there is a two-finger bullet, the symptoms of the poisoned person is mild, it can be cured; and the three or four fingers are very sinister, it is an incurable disease, and the middle one will die. Of course, the cheaters themselves can be solved, and their own cheats can solve their own solutions, even if they ask for other, it will not help.
Walking in the Miao family cottage surrounded by mountains and green water in western Hunan Province, looking at those old mills, stone steps polished by footboards, mossy wooden walls and black tiles, skinny dogs, dirty children, the huge water wheels that stand suddenly on the ground of the big river valley creak and creak, seem to be overwhelmed, but smoothly run for hundreds of years. After watching for a long time, people are obsessed, and it seems that everything can tempt people, so that the traveler's footsteps are stagnant, and they just want to stop and blend into the slow rhythm. Deep down, I may really be looking forward to encountering a, and I can't tell for myself.
The cooking smoke of the cottage rises, the grass and trees in the mountains seem to be "demagogic", a Miao family woman took a look at you, but also made your heart move for half a day, next to there is a mother-in-law with long nails, your scalp is numb but you do not know how to avoid, the legs and feet do not look like your own. You drink a bowl of tea, and your heart is trying to think about whether the tea maker has a small movement of fingers, but your mind is completely blank. There are people shouting in the paddy fields, and the cow bells are gradually drifting away, so you can think about it. The small city people are always helpless in the face of the long years.
There are many kinds of clams: the people who keep clams are mostly women, which is a specialty of women. "Yunnan Magazine": "Yunnan people's homes are full of clams... People fight for hiding, children worry about what they eat, keepers do not use it as a secret room, let the woman feed it, and when they see the man, they are defeated, and the pure yin is gathered. Zhou Fufei's "Lingwai Dai Answer": Poison is "The Night Sacrifice of the Woman's Naked Hair", "The New Language of Southern Yunnan": Pleasing to the Yi Women. There are many types of clams, usually: golden silkworms, chancre clams, epilepsy, swollen clams, loach clams, stone clams, grate clams, snake clams and so on.
Among them, the golden silkworm is the most vicious. In the old days, in some counties and townships in Fujian, the superstitious activities of raising golden silkworms were more abundant. It is said that the golden silkworm is an invisible insect spirit, it can do things for people, the most diligent in hygiene, where the indoor clean people think that it is the family of the golden silkworm. The production method of the golden silkworm is to select 12 kinds of poisonous insects such as snakes and centipedes, bury them at the intersection, and take them out and store them in the incense burner after 49 days (or another mysterious number of days) to become golden silkworms.
In the minds of those who believe in the golden silkworm, the golden silkworm is spiritual, which can make the breeder rich, but the owner of the rich family must also tell the golden silkworm how much it owes, otherwise the golden silkworm requires spending money to buy people to eat for it, otherwise it will be a curse. If the gold silkworm family does not want to raise it again, it can be passed on, known as the "golden silkworm", the method is to wrap silver two, pollen and incense ash (representing the golden silkworm), placed on the road, the greedy will naturally pick up. Golden silkworms can cause the death of enemies, usually bloated abdomen and bleeding to death. Chancre, also known as "egg release, chancre, bee release, popular in Guangdong and Guangxi folk." The preparation method is to catch centipedes, small snakes, worms, ants, poisonous bees, cicadas, earthworms, etc. on the Dragon Boat Festival, add hair, dry it and grind it into powder, enshrine it in front of the plague god statue, become a clam for a long time, and poison people in the diet. Epilepsy is popular among the Dong people, and most of the snakes are buried in the soil to produce fungi to harm people into epilepsy; swollen clams make people's abdomen swollen; loach clams are soaked with clam powder and bamboo leaves to eat and poison people; as for stone clams and flakes, they are all brewed with medicine and put on the road to harm people, and it is said that they can enter the human body to cause evil diseases.
The method of casting deception is mostly put into food. The clams are mostly in the meal, "Chi Ya": "The clams are placed in the food first, and the taste is increased by a hundred times", and most of them are placed on the first piece of food. Some of the worms are the worms themselves, the advantages of the worms are feces, and some are the saliva. Sometimes it can be used without food. Liu Nan's "Miao Huang Xiao Ji": "The poison of Miao is so terrible that it is not necessary to use special food, and whoever booes it with anger and sees it as an eye can spread its poison to people; those who use food can also use it to take advantage of it." ”
Curse: Use dark or evil forces to fulfill your wishes (mainly against enemies of the Municipal Lords). There are many ways to curse, the main ones are: witches, summoning evil. There are many kinds of witches used for curses, such as the poisonous clams or worms in Miaojiang. The witch doll that was popular the other day is a way of cursing in the form of a puppet. In the ancient Middle East, there was a way, somewhat similar to the Miaojiang Witch, raising the summoned evil spirits in small pots and raising them with their own blood, and when needed, the evil spirits in the jar would appear in the form that the master wanted to perform the tasks entrusted by the master. Summoning evil spirits is mainly to summon lone ghosts containing resentment through certain rituals, use their resentment to gain strength, and use it to achieve their own wishes.
Chancre, also known as "egg release", "chancre release", "bee release", is popular in Guangdong and Guangxi. The preparation method is to catch centipedes, small snakes, worms, ants, poisonous bees, cicadas, earthworms, etc. at the Dragon Boat Festival, add hair, dry it and grind it into powder, enshrine it in front of the plague god statue, become a clam for a long time, and then put it in the diet to poison people. Loach is a loach that is eaten by soaking loach with powder and bamboo leaves to poison people. As for the stone clams and the pieces of clams, they are all made of clams and are placed on the road to harm people, and it is said that they can enter the human body to cause evil diseases.
I once heard a cousin in the family talk about the method of making clams, but now I don't remember too much. If it weren't for the fact that I was also a Miao daughter, I guess even this little secret wouldn't have been known to me. My grandmother, who was seventy-eight years old at the time, told me that when she was fourteen, her mother mysteriously took out a packet of powder wrapped in paper from the clothes pressed against the bottom of the box and told her that this thing was called "cunning."
According to the custom of the Miao area, after the miao daughter and the age of Zhen, the mother must pass on the technique of making clams to her daughter, and this technique cannot be told even by her husband, because it is the most powerful weapon to protect herself.
Although in modern society, the "cheat" thing has gradually disappeared, but who can guarantee that your Hmong girlfriend's bag will not have a bag of powder wrapped in paper? If you are always like a jade and clean, please rest assured that the deception will never attack you. But when you leave behind your old love and promises like garbage, cherish it. The seduction of the Miao girl will bloom for you like a beautiful flower that is about to bloom.
