In many folk stories and anecdotes, foxes, snakes, weasels and other animals will encounter so-called "cross-border robbery" when they reach a certain age or "cultivate" to a certain stage. Just like Xiao Cui in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, a fox hid under a man's robe and saved his life. His daughter will repay him in the future. The old film was renamed Jingbian, which is also very subtle, which explains why animals can become monsters to some extent. The first is "the essence of old things". As the saying goes, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. It will also pass through from the perspective of the gods or under the door. In any case, we can see the important influence of Taoism. Du Jie is a Taoist word. Everything in the world has its own laws, but some of them are bound to run counter to the sky, including people, animals, plants, and even a very small thing, a cube ... this is "robbery". Robbery is an obstacle. Changing life in the sky comes at a price. This is heaven's punishment. There were thousands of robberies. What I hear most often is "thunderbolt". It is said that the word "practice" is often heard now. Practice is to achieve the purpose of transformation, establish a foundation, become a pill, and rise to immortality. These are all efforts and costs.
Everything in the world, regardless of old age and death, is in a cycle, following a law called the law of natural life, which we also call Tao. What is Tao? Tao is the natural operation law of all things in the world. This rule completely stipulates (or formulates) the natural laws that animals, plants and advanced animals "human beings" need to abide by. Life, old age, illness, death, birth, and so on.
Taoism is rooted in traditional folk beliefs in China. It goes deep into people's belief ceremony and daily life. At the same time, although Buddhism spread abroad, it has been absorbed and utilized by Taoism after several years of localized development. Among them, the concepts of "doomsday" and "samsara" are also deeply rooted in people's hearts through lectures, preaching, changes in operas or oral inheritance of legends and stories.
In other words, this is the ins and outs of natural disasters, and the process of surviving in natural disasters is what we call robbery. In ancient times, if there was any catastrophe, such as rainstorm, flood and earthquake, we all thought of which monster would be punished or which fairy would be resurrected. These are widely circulated among the people. In the minds of the ancients, as long as the weather is abnormal or there are abnormal conditions, they all think that this is an act of God and that it is against the will of God. It can be seen that the ancients did not have a comprehensive understanding of the world, so believing in God always felt that everything was an act of God.
