Where did BiXian come from?

Ask the spirits is an evocation game, which communicates with a creature called ask the spirits through a pen. Legend has it that ask the spirits is called ask the spirits, but it is actually a ghost. Ask the spirits to ask the spirits, and in the name of evocation, the evocator will lose his virtue and suffer after death.

But in fact, the theory of seeking ghosts and inviting ghosts is purely human factors. Because everyone has a mysterious nature, there is always a person who will try his best to move to a certain place to achieve a certain goal in the process of playing!

"Fufu" originated from the legendary worship of Zi Gu Xian, but history books have different opinions on its origin. In his Three Notes, Hong Mai, a Song Dynasty poet, thought that it only appeared gradually in the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, but Liu of the Southern Dynasty recorded it in his Bieyuan.

The story of Zi Gu, the change of time, place and content of asking for heaven recorded in Shen Kuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan reflect the change of witchcraft in Hua Fu.

The biggest change of "Hua Fu" is that it has become a divination game after being manipulated by literati, Taoist priests and wizards. In modern times, it has been used by guilds and has become a means for gangs to gather congregations and gather wealth. "Inviting immortals" began to spread in rural areas, some invited Guanyin, and some even claimed that Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou could invite them. This kind of activity is particularly rampant in Henan and Shaanxi.

The earliest "disc fairy" was just a one-man play, and later it spread to the witch's disc fairy hall. "Inviting immortals" exists in both the north and the south of China, and the popular one in the north is called "dustpan immortals". Is to fill the dustpan with rice and insert a chopstick. When chopsticks hold up the dustpan with rice, believers think that the dustpan fairy is coming.
