When it comes to Xiangxi, our first reaction is "Xiangxi corpse chaser", but do you know that in addition to corpse chasers, Xiangxi also has a reincarnation village?
It is reported that there are 7,800 people living in the reincarnation village, of which 110 have memories of their past lives, and these people are all children of two or three years old, and they constantly state their past lives.
Every time you make a statement, you have to receive a red envelope, which makes people wonder, the mysterious "reincarnation village": the memory of the past life or the trick of deception?
«——【The Story of the Reincarnated Man·】——»
Outsiders only need to enter the mysterious "reincarnation village" of Pingyang Township, and then ask the local people about the "reincarnation", and everyone here can tell you the story of a "reincarnated person".
As soon as I entered the village, a woman named Shi Shuangren greeted her warmly, and people said that she was the most famous representative of "reincarnation" in Pingyang Township.
Because since the age of two, memories of past lives have been constantly coming to mind, and the old man has been babbling to experts about his past life.
She said that her name in her last life was Yao Jia'an, an ill-fated peasant daughter-in-law, who died of infection at the age of 24, leaving behind her only son, Wu Chun, who was less than a year old.
Some experts are skeptical, but Shi Shuangren has a lot of treasures about his previous life, and even remembers the details of his death clearly.
So, in order to confirm the truth of what she said, the expert visited Yao Jia'an's relatives in his previous life, and what was surprising was that everything Mrs. Shi said was completely consistent with Yao Jia'an's experience.
Even her only son, Wu Chun, believes that Shi Shuangren is the reincarnation of his mother and is called "mother".
Why did a two-year-old girl know so much about her past life? Could she really be reborn with the memories of her past life?
«——【Pig reincarnated as an adult?·】——»
Leaving the old man's home, the experts began to look for other "reincarnateds", wanting to explore more stories behind the "reincarnations".
At this time, a boy surnamed Wu ran out, and according to him, he was a pig in his last life! The 3-year-old little one, with his round eyes, told the experts about his ridiculous "past life" experience.
claimed that he used to be a big white pig from his grandfather's family, eating pigweed every day to grow fat, but in the end he was brutally killed by the village butcher, so he was terrified when he saw that butcher in his life.
At the same time, the child's father helped on the side, claiming that his son had been more than a year old, and every time he saw the butcher Master Rong, he was so frightened that he couldn't cry.
Therefore, everyone in the village knew that he was reincarnated as a pig, and gave him the nickname of 'Little White Pig'.
A three-year-old doll not only keeps saying that she is a pig, but also knows exactly how she was killed, which is really incredible.
«——[·Three-year-old boy becomes an old man?·]——»
Just when the experts were skeptical about the claims of these "reincarnateds", another villager came to report it.
There is also a peculiar 3-year-old boy in this village, who not only claims to have memories of his past life, but also teaches his "son-in-law in his past life" in front of everyone!
I saw that the little guy was scolding in his mouth, and he was chasing the old man with shoes in his hand, looking hideous, it turned out that the child was the old man's father-in-law in his previous life.
Because of some old grudges, he still hates his son-in-law after reincarnation, and seeing that the child is so determined, the people around him gradually believe in this fantastical story.
Unexpectedly, as he spoke, he turned his words around and asked the experts for a red envelope, it turned out that if he wanted to hear the whole story, he would give a red envelope first, which is the 'rule' of Pingyang Township!
The expert suddenly realized that if you want to inquire about the deeds of the "reincarnated person", you have to make a big red envelope in advance, otherwise the other party will be silent.
It seems that this mysterious "reincarnation village" does hide some ulterior secrets behind it, will they lie for money?
«——【What is the cause of ?·】——»
wanted to find out, and the expert found Huang Jin, a professor of Chinese studies at Central South University, who has studied this phenomenon.
It turned out that Professor Huang was very interested in Pingyang Township, and had visited the local area many times, and the "reincarnated" group was also the focus of his research.
They were hypnotized and polygraphed, and the results showed that the group really wasn't lying.
But what puzzled him was why there were so many instances of "reincarnation" in Pingyang Township? "Maybe it has something to do with the strong religious atmosphere and the closed and backward environment.
You must know that Pingyang Township belongs to the Dong nationality inhabited area, and the folk belief is deep-rooted, believing that all things have spirituality and reincarnation, and the long-term isolation and poverty provide a breeding ground for superstitious thoughts.
In such an environment, "reincarnation" may have become a special way for some people to vent their suffering and seek solace.
At the same time, some people suspect that it is for money, after all, there is a steady stream of red envelopes and gifts for telling a story, especially for poor and backward villagers, making up a bizarre "reincarnation" story is undoubtedly a shortcut to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Moreover, since the "reincarnation village" became famous, tourists from other places flocked to the village, and the farmhouse business in the village was booming.
Even villagers who live far away will ask someone to bring a message, saying that they have also produced a "reincarnated person", and sincerely invite visitors from all over the world to come to the door for "inspection".
Therefore, it is highly likely that the villagers took advantage of people's curiosity and regarded the fabrication of "reincarnation" stories as a magic weapon to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Moreover, the survey found that there are indeed some common characteristics of "reincarnated people", most of them are young children who learn to speak at the age of three or four, and the "past lives" they tell are all fatal, and adult "reincarnateds" are rarely mentioned.
What's even more interesting is that they ask tourists to make red envelopes without exception, as if this is an unspoken rule.
In the final analysis, in a small mountain village with material scarcity and monotonous cultural life, "reincarnation" is just a trick to deceive people, and what is pursued behind it is nothing more than monetary interests.
However, we cannot completely deny the soil of the folk belief in "reincarnation", in the view of Buddhism and Taoism, life reincarnates, and everything in this life is due to the causes of past lives.
Many practitioners also claim to be able to recall past lives and confirm the authenticity of reincarnation, and in the realm of metaphysics, it seems that people are particularly prone to believe in the idea of reincarnation of life and past lives.
Coupled with the closed culture and low scientific literacy of Pingyang Township, it is not surprising to make up some bizarre "reincarnation" stories.
So, is the "reincarnation" of Pingyang Township really a thing, or is it a trick to deceive people? Perhaps it is difficult for us to give a definite answer.
«——【·Conclusion·】——»
After all, in today's scientific prosperity, there are still too many mysteries of life to be explored, and for the unknown, we need an open heart to verify, to feel it for ourselves, and to analyze it rationally.
Even if the bizarre experiences of "reincarnated people" are difficult to believe, as a cultural phenomenon, it also reveals certain longings in the depths of human nature: the hope of a better life in the afterlife, and the catharsis of life's suffering.
So, in front of the screen, do you think the "reincarnation" is real or fake?
