origin
Statement 1
Legend has it that the earliest zombie was Hiderigami, the daughter of Xuanyuan Huangdi. Because of the curse of Chiyou, she became a zombie. Originally zombies don't need to suck human blood. Because there is too little aura in heaven and earth, and man is the soul of all things, so we should suck the blood of little zombies.
Statement 2
The word "zombie" comes from "Mainland Thousand", a Taoist book. Zombies mean: stiff limbs, no bow. Eyes are not oblique. The legs are not divided, and the body is not rotten.
Zombies prevailed after the middle of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most people recorded zombies in Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Mei's Woods Language and Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang were the first two, which can be said to be complete works of zombies.
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. 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.
Statement 3
According to Hunan folklore, zombies were first 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 is a good method for drug trafficking, because ordinary people dare not approach it, and officers and men are unlucky. Walking at night is good for preserving the body. Of course, drugs such as opium can be stored in the body, which is safer.
Statement 4
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.
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.
When I was a child, I heard the old man say that people who were born on a red sand day, died on a black sand day and were buried in flying sand fields would become zombies. "Sand-flying land" means "soil pH is extremely unbalanced, which is not suitable for the growth of organic matter")
It is rumored that Taoism has the method of refining the Taiyin. When a body is buried for hundreds of years, it will come back to life at the expiration. The dead body is possessed by evil things/spirits, and the body absorbs the yang, which makes the body change when people are angry. When a person dies, the soul is scattered and stagnated.
Yuan Mei's Woods Speech: The human soul is good and evil, but the human soul is ignorant, and the soul dominates the human body. When the soul leaves the human body, it will become an evil ghost zombie.
diversification
Meridian rain divides zombies into eight varieties:

Zombies can become monsters and become vicious (or Hiderigami). Legend has it that zombies become monsters after being transformed into demons. Zombies can fly when they become monsters, which is also called flying stiff. It is said that you can kill dragons and swallow clouds and walk like the wind. Everywhere you go, you are the king of zombies. 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.
Related questions (the following contents are for reference only)
(1) Why do zombies always appear at night?
Actually, this is a misunderstanding. People think that zombies only come out at night, as if the sun would hurt or kill them. Actually, this is not right. In Xiangxi, China, there is a mysterious and ancient occupation called corpse driving. Corpsers drive zombies thousands of miles. If a zombie is killed by the sun, this profession will not exist.
There is another saying that the corpse driver works: for some reason, someone died in another place, but this is the custom in Xiangxi, and the corpse must be taken back to its hometown and buried in the ancestral grave. The corpse driver's duty is to divide the corpse into many pieces, carry it on his back, go to the hometown of the deceased and then splice it into a whole corpse for burial. In order not to attract attention, most people choose to travel at night.
However, zombies hate sunlight, which can be concluded from the fact that they always come out at night.
Zombies can be roughly divided into three categories, one is the walking dead, the unconscious, and the lowest zombie, acting on their own instincts. As the saying goes, the walking dead means this. There is also a conscious zombie who has the same wisdom as people and can judge his own behavior. They are terrible zombies, such as China's legendary Millennium zombies and foreign vampires, all of which belong to one kind.
And Hiderigami, the most powerful zombie, only appears in fairy tales. If there is such a zombie, I'm afraid it's stronger than an atomic bomb.
(2) Why do zombies suck blood?
There is no fixed answer to the problem of vampire blood-sucking. There is a saying that zombies suck blood to eat each other's blood, and suck blood to get back at God like a vampire count. Some legends even think that vampire sucking blood is a daily job for zombies, just like our profession.
In fact, the so-called zombies in China are basically assimilated by foreign demons or vampires.
In fact, the real zombie in China is a shadow corpse, which means that if the corpse is placed in a dark place with energy or close to life, it will absorb energy or vitality, leading to the degeneration of the corpse.
A "living body" with activity and thinking ability (actually dead) is a zombie. If you find a shadow corpse, you should deal with it as soon as possible or the consequences will be unimaginable!
Things about zombies have always been mysterious, and little information about them is known. However, it is generally believed that zombies become living dead without thinking and self-control, and only kill and suck blood.
They gathered the grievances of heaven and earth and were born out of luck. Not old, not dead, not extinct, abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six paths of all beings, wandering and displaced. Rigid body, in the world, resentment is power, blood is food, and endless loneliness is vented with the blood of all beings.
China said the most is Xiangxi corpse driver. What they caught belonged to walkers. The corpse driver is called "corpse driver". Usually before dawn, the body is rushed to Yizhuang, or a fixed shop. A corpse is usually covered with a large black shroud, with a tall felt hat on its head and yellow paper with several books hanging on its forehead. In front of these bodies covered with black shroud, there was a living man with a gong. He led the group of bodies forward with a little yin gong in his hand. He didn't play lanterns, but shook a bell that could evoke memories, told Nightcrawler to avoid it, and informed the dog owners to lock them up. If there are more than two bodies, the corpse driver will string them one by one with straw ropes, one every seven or eight feet.

-Zombies don't come from supernatural forces
Solanan/Ebola
-eggplant, the virus is fabricated by literary works, and its authenticity remains to be verified.
The content comes from the "Zombie Survival Manual" (original: MaxBrooks)
The birth of "Solanan"
At present, it is not known whether solanesol exists in nature.
In ecosystems all over the world (such as water, air, soil, plants and animals), there are negative reactions to "solarium" (that is, there is no "solarium").
route of transmission
-It can infect all living things, but only humans will "restart the dead body".
-At present, no cases of this virus spreading through air or drinking water have been found, and contact with nature will not lead to Solaran infection or mosquito bites [because mosquitoes have the ability to distinguish, as long as organisms are infected with Solaran virus, mosquitoes will not bite those organisms that have been infected with Solaran virus].
-Only through direct exchange of body fluids can you be infected with Solanum virus. Or was sprayed by the body fluids of zombies in the explosion, or was bitten by zombies.
Eating infected meat or liquid will directly kill you, but it will not become a zombie. Because these infected meats or liquids are highly toxic.
symptom
The first hour: the infected area is painful, the face turns purple or brown, and the wound is swollen (if it is a wound infection).
The fifth hour: high fever above 40℃, chills, slight idiot, vomiting, and severe joint pain.
The eighth hour: high fever continues, the infected site and limbs are paralyzed, the dementia state is aggravated, and muscle coordination fails.
Eleventh hour: paralysis of lower limbs, rigidity of the whole body and slow heartbeat.
Sixteenth hour: coma.
The twentieth hour: the heartbeat stops [brain waves are flat].
Twenty-third hour: body restart.
Therapeutic mode
-Antibiotics are useless [because Solanum is a virus, not a bacterium].
-Vaccination is useless [because as long as a little "Solanum" virus is injected into the body, it will become a full-scale infection].
-Immediately resect the infected site, and the current success rate is less than 10%.
-Other treatments (such as improving human antibodies to resist bacterial structures and creating new trans-viruses). ) is still in its infancy.
→ Individuals infected with Solanum virus must kill brain cells to destroy Solanum, otherwise they will become zombies.
→ If an individual dies after being infected with Solanum, his remains must be disposed of immediately, otherwise he will become a zombie.
