What is Buddhism's view of three souls and seven spirits?

Three souls and seven spirits is a Taoist saying. Buddhism has no objection to this. The ancients of the past were knowledgeable. In the complete works of Bai Zizun, one of the four eminent monks in the late Ming Dynasty, there is an article "Soul Discrimination", which is read by the benevolent. The following excerpts are as follows:

What is Shun? Self-love also. What is inverse? Self-love and sex. Those who are stubborn and at a loss are reckless and ignorant. Life is a soul, and death is a ghost. Let nature take its course and know its inverse, understand its feelings and treat its feelings, life is also a soul, and death is also a god.

Spirit is also a speech. If you are a husband, if you don't know the way, you will be cornered, not feeling. Without self-love, it must be illusory. Therefore, all people are financially strong and financially weak. So its life is also anchored in things, and its strength depends on it. If it dies, it will also anchor on things, and power will follow.

So I said, "If people are reckless and ignorant of sex, their spirits will flourish and their souls will fail. A gentleman has many souls and few spirits, and he can smell the Tao with it, and he can also fold his feelings with reason. Therefore, spirit is the cause of ghosts, and ghosts are the fruit of spirit. The soul is the cause of God, and God is the fruit of the soul. ..... As for the theory of three souls and seven spirits, this crowd also. There are many souls and few souls, and this gentleman is also. Just a saint, but a soulless god. Therefore, it is also born, and life cannot be tired. And his death is also unique and tiring. Therefore, everything is wonderful and unintentional, and it is called God. "

Master Bai Zi made it very clear above that the theory of three souls and seven spirits is aimed at ordinary people. Because ordinary people are unrestrained, their minds only know the outside, but they don't know what they really are, so they have less souls and more spirits, so there is this saying.
