Legend of Japanese folk ghosts and gods ... 1. Snow Girl

According to legend, in the early days of the Republic of Japan, because people's wisdom was not open, the older generation especially believed in some fairy tales, and even thought that natural disasters were controlled by fairy tales, so there was the legend of Snow Girl, a mystery in the snow. As long as someone gets lost in the harsh environment of ice and snow, they will certainly meet the monster of Snow Girl, who is unpredictable in good and evil, and will deliberately play with the fickle and disloyal nature of men. Sometimes she deliberately leaves a frightened human male and threatens him. If she wants to live, she must keep her promise and abide by the laws of the underworld. She must not tell others about her existence and encounter, otherwise the betrayed Snow Girl will definitely kill the man. But the man who wants to live will gain the trust of Xuenv in a panic, and promise to keep his promise when he goes back and not tell others about Xuenv's various behaviors. The evil woman Xuenv, who likes to test men's nature, will pretend to be an ordinary and virtuous human woman, deliberately find the man who made a promise with her, win the man's good feeling, and further tie the knot with him, give birth to a child with her and follow her for life. Seeing whether the man can keep his promise and spend the rest of his life with her safely, but that unforgettable adventure always haunts the man's doubts and fears. Finally, until one day, the man made up his mind to tell his closest wife the truth about his meeting with Snow Girl, hoping that she could share his nightmare. But the man never expected that in his midnight dream, the person he was most afraid of was the one beside him. It turns out that he has been with the enemy for a long time. Breaking the "promise", Xuenv had to kill the man who gave birth to his child with tears, and sadly took the child back to the world of ice and snow. Living in the deep mountains, just like people, has a beautiful appearance, and often attracts men who enter the snow-capped mountains to places where no one is there, kisses him, and completely freezes it, taking his soul away and eating it. Snow Girl's child is called Xue Tong. In Japan, Xue Tong is considered to bring the first winter. Qiaoji

What I saw in Meiji Demon was the resentment of some spoony women. Because he was infatuated with others and couldn't be with the one he loved, he jumped into the water and committed suicide. If a person crosses the bridge at night, he will appear and lead him into the water to drown. If a woman crosses the bridge, she will be dragged down by force. It is said that in Japan, women can't commit suicide easily, but they can only jump into the river to commit suicide, so this kind of monster is called the poor monster.

I saw in "A Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night" that it was actually a person, but because he was possessed by a monster, his head would fly away from his body when he slept, scaring people everywhere for fun. The possessed monster is called owl, which is the soul of birds and usually attaches to people who like to kill and eat birds and animals. The person possessed by him will become a skeleton in 7 days, which is also karma! 4. Bones girl

A woman was insulted, bullied, trampled and resentful at birth, became a ghost and took her life. Because there was only a pile of bones left, she disguised herself with human skin. In China, she is called a ghost painter (from Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio), and most of her revenge targets are men, and most of them are people with bad character. It is recorded in detail in Night of the Hundred Ghosts, so it is widely used by Japanese folklorists. 5. A drowning daughter

The monster frequented by the hot spring hotel. If you see this beautiful woman in the bath, don't approach her rashly. Maybe she will stand up, and you will find that her submerged part is full of bones.

6. Let the boy sit down.

This is a good ghost and often plays with children. If your child runs around laughing as if someone is playing with him, then he is playing with the boy. When children are playing, if you count the number of children, you will unconsciously have one more, and it is him. He can be happy at home, but without him, his family will soon be defeated.

About 4000 years ago, Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor competed for the world. After Yan Di's son Chiyou was captured, he became the attendant of the Yellow Emperor. Later, he found an opportunity to escape, returned to Yan Di, urged Yan Di to resume the war, and avenged the shame of Han power. However, Emperor Yan was old and weak, and he couldn't bear to let the people suffer because of his own war. He didn't listen to Chiyou's advice. Chiyou had to mobilize his brothers, gather the Miao people in the south, and ghosts in the mountains and Shui Ze, and lead an army to challenge the Yellow Emperor under the banner of Emperor Yan. The Yellow Emperor was shocked when he heard that Chiyou was starting to fight. He wanted to influence Chiyou with benevolence and righteousness, but Chiyou was not affected, and the two sides fought. Chiyou used magic to pose a poisonous fog array and surrounded the Yellow Emperor's army. However, the Yellow Emperor drove the compass invented by the adviser behind the wind and commanded the army to rush out of the poisonous fog array. Chiyou sent demons to fight again. The Yellow Emperor told his soldiers to blow out the sound of dragons with horns to scare these ghosts away.

It can be seen that ghost refers to some small demons with miscellaneous brands in ancient times and now, but they became famous when they spread to Japan. It is said that ghosts specialize in eating beautiful women, and their appearance features are mostly tall, red, pointed and long-horned. Japanese folklore in the desolate mountains, there are many ancient forests at the foot of the mountain. People who travel long distances, especially those who walk at night, often encounter mandrill ghosts, which are all made of wood, stone, birds and animals. Pet-name ruby ghost bite

Appears in the mystery novels of Gao Qiao Ye Jie Academy, just like the glowing bait before the head of a deep-sea fish, beauty is the bait before the head of a ghost, which grows on its long tongue to lure people to save her and then eat them. ⒑ Hetong

There is a small lake near the Inagawa Shrine in Japan, which is called Salvation Lake. There are often river children in the lake. Because the river boy is a household name in Japan, there are many sayings. It's more common for a bird-headed man to wear tortoise shells and have a bowl-shaped concave mirror on his head, which is full of water. If he is alive, no water will die. His hands are connected, they can stretch, and they can fly with the help of fart. Common folk books are recorded, such as "A Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night", "A Hundred Things", "Ten Ghosts Record" and "The Legend of the Monster".
