What does the ash eight in Xiyumen do?
Belief in grave robbers should also be close to and similar to other industries. The author did find this phenomenon in the investigation. In the north of China, such as Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin and Liaoning, grave robbers here, like prostitutes, actors and witches, also like to offer sacrifices to "Daxian".
Daxian is not a "pure man" but an animal. In folk beliefs, there are five immortals: fox, yellow, white, willow and gray. Specifically, the white fairy is a hedgehog; Huang Xian is a weasel; A fox spirit is a fox; Liu Xian is a snake; The grey fairy is a mouse.
Specific introduction:
1, fox
Why did brothels like to worship foxes before? Maybe it's because it is the embodiment of femininity. Today, people still refer to women with good looks but improper style as "foxes", "mistresses", "mistresses" and so on. In the eyes of men, they all belong to this kind of woman. Grave robbers worship foxes because of their cunning habits. I hope they will not be easily found and caught like foxes when they rob tombs.
Step 2: Rats
Among the five immortals, mice are the most like grave robbers. They are all good at digging holes and are all "underground workers". In many places, grave robbers are directly called "gophers", which means this. Rats are still the "god of wealth" in folk beliefs, and robbing a tomb is stealing treasures. With the secret help of "Lord Grey", there will be a reward for robbing the tomb.
3.weasel
Grave robbers offering sacrifices to weasels may be related to insanity and delusion. Grave robbing is to deal with the dead and skeletons. Timid people will inevitably be scared to get sick. Once they get sick, they will be mistaken for the possession of the weasel, so they have to wait on "Huang San Ye" carefully.
4.hedgehog
This animal is worshipped by many industries and may be related to witchcraft and medical treatment. Hedgehogs are full of thorns, just like silver needles in traditional Chinese medicine. Superstition believes that with the help of hedgehog essence, the disease will gradually heal, so it is called "white fairy" Because she likes doing good deeds as much as the old lady, the people respectfully call her "White Old Lady". Grave robbers often enter graves and have a high probability of being exposed to germs. Sacrificing Bai Xian may be to hope that he and his family are safe and healthy.
5.snakes
It is one of the earliest gods worshipped by China people. Grave robbers worship "Seven Lords Liu", probably because they often encounter snakes when robbing tombs, hoping not to be hurt by snakes. In addition, it may be related to the folk "seeing snakes as dragons" in the past. In the zodiac, the snake is the "little dragon" and the tomb is one of the favorite places for the "little dragon". The snake found in the tomb is called "earthworm" and will be regarded as a mascot. Superstition holds that only places with good feng shui will produce earthworms.
