What is true when ghosts blow lanterns and rob tombs?

Speaking of "the truth", I think of some frequently asked questions: Is the writing of "The Ghost Blows the Lamp" true? There are so many nouns, terms, geography and geomantic omen that people who don't understand can't write them at all. Are these contents real or fictional?

First of all, I want to say that "The Ghost Blows the Lamp" is a story, a novel, not documentary literature, nor a memoir. True and false mixed together. If we want to distinguish between truth and fiction, we can only distinguish it by referring to a noun or a relationship.

For example, the story of Yemangou, the location is fictional, but the underground fortress of Kwantung Army as the scene is real. Up to now, there are still sites preserved in northeastern Inner Mongolia and other places. It is said that the fire in Xing 'anling was caused by the explosion of the ammunition depot buried by Kwantung Army.

With regard to nouns and terms, it should be noted that in Ghost Blowing Lights, grave robbery is called "inverted bucket", just like funerary objects are called "funerary objects", and these special trade terms do exist in reality; Moreover, calling the body in the ancient tomb "Zongzi" is completely my own original fiction, and no one has ever said it before.

Another example: the book describes that the captain who touches gold must wear a gold symbol before he can engage in grave robbery. The title of "Captain Touching Gold" existed in the Three Kingdoms period, but it has not been handed down as a traditional industry, only existed for decades. All the traditional rules about touching captain Jin, including the iron law of lighting candles in the southeast corner and touching gold or not, are all made up by myself and are not true. There has never been such a thing as a golden charm in the world, and there is no prototype. I hope readers can see it clearly and don't be misled by my story.

There are countless similar examples in the book Ghost Blowing Lights. The historical background of each ancient tomb and adventure site, prototypes of various mysterious animals and plants, geomantic metaphysics, folk geography, etc. Both are true and false, and more are mixed with reality, and the content will be adjusted according to the needs of the story. If you want to explain everything, it will never be clear within three to five days, so I won't explain it here.
