In unofficial history in the Qing Dynasty, there was a story of a strong corpse (written by Dong Xuan). Roughly speaking, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village in the west of southern Hunan. A rogue in the village was poisoned by ptomaine for robbing a tomb and was saved by an old man, but was beaten by the whole village for doing something wrong again and left to fend for itself in the grass in the back hill.
A few days later, he asked for help again, but this time no one wanted to help him. The villagers beat him and tied him to a tree. Although some people spoke out to discourage it, no one paid attention. Finally, he died in a tree. In the evening, the villagers wanted to bury him, but they found the body missing.
Finally he came back and killed the whole village. The villagers were bitten and turned into zombies. Some villagers who left in time turned into zombies when they visited the village in the morning.
origin
Zombies prevailed after the middle of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most people recorded zombies in the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Mei's Zi Wu Yu and Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang were the earliest. These two books can be called "zombies".
The theory of corpse removal in Xiangxi, also known as the theory of moving souls, belongs to a branch of You Zhu in Maoshan, and originated in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in Xiangxi. When the body was not rotted, it was rushed back to the village by the warlock. Corpse hunters and magicians travel in small groups. Some of them tied the bodies with ropes every few feet, and then put yellow paper symbols on their foreheads. Others beat gongs to clear the way and row boats at night. Throw away the stack before dawn, uncover the paper, stand against the wall and continue on the road at night.
It was also pointed out that the corpse driver actually carried the corpse, but because he was dressed in black at night, passers-by naturally couldn't see the corpse driver and thought there was a corpse.
Zombie nickname
According to the Meridian Rain and Yuewei Caotang Notes, zombies have three nicknames:
Move the body
Walking shadow
A scrawny person
The Notes of Yuewei Caotang divides the corpse into two reasons: the sudden change of the new corpse and the long-term burial without decay.
The concept of corpse change
Vegetarian meal in a corpse, which is more scientific? The pH of soil is extremely unbalanced, which is not suitable for the growth of organic matter, so it will not breed ants and bacteria. Even if the body is buried for a hundred years, the muscle hair will not rot. Some data show that the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow. There is also this sentence in Feng Shui.
It is rumored that Taoism has the method of refining the moon, and the body will be buried for hundreds of years and resurrected after the expiration.
The body that just died was possessed by an evil thing/soul.
The body absorbs yang, which makes people angry and changes the body.
When a person dies, his soul is scattered and his spirit is stagnant.
Yuan Mei's Yu Woods: "The human soul has good and evil, but the human soul is ignorant." The soul dominates the human body, leaving the human body will become an evil zombie.
Three souls and seven spirits is a Taoist saying.
Soul is a positive spirit, which is attached to human spirit and dominates spiritual thinking activities.
Spirit is a kind of female spirit, which is attached to human body and dominates human physical activities.
Possibility of corpse change:
People are buried after death.
Even in the 1950 s, there were funerals and mortuaries in Hong Kong, so the theory of social corpse transformation was very popular at that time, such as lightning and thunder, when a pregnant cat jumped over a coffin, the corpse would change.
Zombie species
Zombie corpse is a monster influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon. Meridian rain divides zombies into eight varieties:
Purple hardness
White stiffness
Green hardness
Stiff hair
Fly stiffly
Zombies can become monsters and become vicious (or Hiderigami). Nervously, he said, "There are people two or three feet long in the south, naked, with their eyes on them, walking like the wind. Their name is Hao, and the country they see is drought and thousands of miles away. " Zombies can fly, kill dragons and swallow clouds, and cause drought. So whenever there is a drought, people will search for zombies and burn them to ashes.
Wandering corpse
Bury the body
Boneless
-
Zombies eat human flesh and suck blood. The Notes of Yuewei Caotang once described the appearance of a zombie as follows: "White hair is covered, eyes are red as cinnabar, fingers are crooked, teeth are exposed outside the lips like sharp knives ... kissing and hissing, and blood comes out of the nose ...". 」
A magic weapon against zombies
The recovered zombie artifacts include the following categories:
Mirror. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Mirror is the essence of golden water, which is bright inside and dark outside. 」
Peach branches, peach wooden swords. Story of Jingchu Times: "Peach lovers, the essence of the five elements, can hate evil spirits and control all ghosts. 」
The cock crows. Woods said: "ghosts flinch when they hear chickens crow." 」
Seven jujube stones. Yan: "Seven jujube stones were nailed to the back of the body. 」

Glutinous rice, rice, rice sieve, red beans
It's on fire. This is the ultimate way to kill a body. Yu: "set fire to it, croak and blood gush." 」
Zombies in movies
Zombies are a very popular theme in Hong Kong movies in the1980s. In movies, putting a symbol on a zombie's forehead can make the zombie fall asleep. In movies, zombies always wear Qing Dynasty costumes, always keep their arms straight forward, and generally jump forward. The west is also called a zombie. Unlike zombies in the Qing dynasty, they can stretch their arms at will and walk in human form.
In addition, in the geomantic custom of Chinese architecture, a wooden board (threshold) about 15cm high is usually installed under the gate to prevent zombies from jumping into the house.

June, 2006 165438+ 10/4 The zombies in Hong Kong movies were created by a Hong Kong director according to the behavior of Qing officials in China, and made into a movie. This is the origin of zombies. Look at the zombies in Hong Kong's early zombie movies, all of which were handed down from the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty.
As for foreign (Hollywood, or Hollywood) zombie films (Chinese translation: the living dead), learn from Hong Kong zombie films.
As for real zombies, there are indeed, and that is based on science. I heard from a friend that something happened in his hometown before. A corpse was found by Lei Bi and moved like a zombie for a few minutes. Many people saw it.
This is actually caused by the body being struck by lightning, and the body has changed, but this can only last for a short period of time.
