What is a witch doctor?

Witch doctors, musicians, human translators and so on.

It creates an atmosphere of witchcraft and produces psychological effects of comfort and spiritual support for patients. To really treat physical diseases, it is still necessary to borrow medicine or take technical treatment. The duality of witch doctors (application and obstacles to medicine) determines that they are mixed in medical development.

Basic introduction:

Witch doctors, that is, wizards and doctors, often turned to ghosts and gods for treatment, so witch doctors were often mentioned together. Tang Hanyu said in The Teacher: "A musician is diligent and thinks he is a teacher." Witch doctors were officially separated in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since then, wizards no longer bear the responsibility of saving lives, but only ask ghosts and gods for good or ill luck. Doctors (doctors) are not asking for ghosts from God, but are only responsible for saving lives and saving the world.

Witch doctor is a person with dual identities. He can not only communicate with ghosts and gods, but also deal with medicine. He is a man who is more proficient in medicine than ordinary wizards. From the Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins, it can be seen that witch doctors in Yin and Zhou Dynasties used witchcraft in form.
