Did zombies really appear in history?
Legend has it that zombies have four ancestors, all born in the year of the monster beast. They are Hou Qing, Gou Gou, Hiderigami and General. According to folklore, the four ancestors of zombies all came from one of the four ancient gods. It is said that because he took part in the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, Nu Wa and Fuxi, the four ancient gods, sealed his soul into three parts, and when he came back, he became the ancestors of zombies, Hou Qing, Gou and Ying Lie. However, the strangest thing is the general. A long time ago, you asked Haotian for a big branch of a sacred tree. After Cheng was sealed, the branches of the holy tree came into contact with Cheng's body and gradually merged into Cheng's body to become a new life, occupying Cheng's body. This is the general of the zombie king! Friends who have seen "I have a date with zombies" should be familiar with the general, who exists as the king of zombies.

In fact, there was no such thing as a zombie in ancient times, and there was no such thing as a zombie. Zombie theory prevailed after the late Ming, early Qing and middle period. Zombies were recorded the most in Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Mei's Yu Woods and Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang are the complete works of zombies. In modern times, the word "zombie" has become a household name with the fire of the Ching-Ying Lam film "Mr. Zombie" and a large number of zombie movies later. In those years, Bian Xiao didn't dare to turn off the lights to sleep because he watched Ching-Ying Lam's movies. Have zombies really appeared in reality? Just say there is a legend.

The theory of corpse removal in western Hunan, also known as the theory of moving souls, belongs to the You Zhu family in Maoshan, and originated in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in western Hunan. When the body was not corrupt, it was rushed back to the township for burial by the magician. In order to prevent the corpse from rotting, the corpse is usually driven at night. These magicians usually travel in small groups. Some people tie up the bodies with ropes every few feet, and then put yellow paper symbols on their foreheads. The rest of you knock the gong to clear the way. Throw away the stack before dawn, uncover the paper, stand against the wall and continue on the road at night.

There is also a saying that zombies are originally used for drug trafficking. A man dressed as a Taoist is a drug dealer. As mentioned above, they walked in groups of three or five, but instead of tying the body with a rope, they put the body on the shoulders of the former and later generations with wooden sticks, so that it seemed that the body could walk. Ring the bell, yellow paper symbol, all to hide people's eyes and ears. This method makes ordinary people afraid to go near half a step. If officers and men feel unlucky, they will stay away from these people. Walking at night is good for preserving the body. Of course, drugs such as opium can be stored in the body, which is safer.

Zombies are not recorded in history, only all kinds of thriller legends and film and television dramas. No matter whether there are zombies in this world or not, as long as you behave well and don't do anything wrong, you won't worry too much. Even if there is, I'm glad to see you running. It would be nice to see one or several ugly beasts. Anyway, running is right.
