Successive governments in China have banned the display of witchcraft. What is this?

Witchcraft is a technique used by ancient people with the help of supernatural forces. For example, witches and priests of ancient tribes used witchcraft. Usually, they use witchcraft to communicate with heaven, exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, pray for rain, seek sunshine, divination, curse and punish those who make mistakes.

0 1, the origin of witchcraft

Witchcraft has been clearly recorded in China from Shun Di tribe. At that time, Shun Di's son was sent to Wuxian as a leader. Local people are good at making salt with brine, but when refining salt crystals, they will dance, sacrifice and perform. People who don't know the truth think this is the illusion brought by Shun's son, so they call this strange phenomenon? Witchcraft? . Many foreign scholars believe that witchcraft appeared with the birth of human beings. As early as 80,000 years ago, Neanderthals believed in witchcraft. They bury the dead and pray for them, believing that there is still a soul after death. But for the specific origin of witchcraft, no scholar can give a clear answer.

02. Witchcraft is forbidden.

Witchcraft has been supreme since its birth. It represents heaven, and everyone must submit and fear. However, witchcraft developed to the Han Dynasty, and some people disturbed the harem with black witchcraft. They buried the puppet people underground and cursed the important people in the palace. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was cursed by witchcraft.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned of this incident, he was furious and ordered people to investigate it. Finally, the prince and queen of the dynasty committed suicide, and hundreds of thousands of people died. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered that witchcraft was strictly prohibited, which was followed by successive dynasties.

03, the status quo of witchcraft

Witchcraft has always been suppressed by those in power, because it is too mysterious, uncontrollable, elusive and easy to cause social unrest. Witchcraft is rare in developed areas. At present, it is still inherited in Miao areas, Southeast Asia, Africa and other places in China, and it has become an intangible cultural heritage to a greater extent. After improvement, it can be used for tourists to visit and make people feel the ancient atmosphere.
