The turn of witch culture

Wizards are the earliest intellectuals. For professional needs, wizards have mastered more cultural skills than ordinary people. Most of the official paperwork in ancient times was undertaken by officials of Zhu Zong's history series. Such officials are familiar with various sacrificial ceremonies, astronomical calendars, historical genealogy, divination records, etc. So that some people inadvertently rely on their own cultural knowledge and become the backbone of recording and retaining ancient culture.

Although with the development and progress of human society, witchcraft has gradually lost its former glory, and the status of witches is also declining. However, because witches are the masters of ancient culture, they still act as spokesmen and cultural inheritors of the imperial court in the capacity of history for a long time. They recorded the splendid ancient civilization and made it endless.

Wizards are divided into the following categories: in fact, an important task of wizards is to entertain themselves through singing and dancing, so wizards, especially witches, are good at singing and dancing, which are described in Nine Songs and The Book of Songs. Because in the minds of primitive people, art has considerable practical value. In the initial stage of art development, the art with witchcraft nature is the earliest and most common cultural form, and the most primitive art form is often produced as a kind of witchcraft to assist real life.

Strong emotions, persistent beliefs, magical fantasies, etc. mixed in witchcraft activities can all be regarded as part of prehistoric art. Therefore, a large number of paintings, sculptures and other works left over from the Paleolithic Age, as well as songs and dances preserved by some primitive tribes, are regarded as evidence that art originated from witchcraft. Music has almost the same principle, so it is no exaggeration to say that wizards are the earliest dance artists. Dance music, a unique and expressive art form, was formed and carried forward in their witchcraft dances and songs, so it is not too much to record some original achievements of dance music art on primitive wizards, which is also a place that ancient wizards should be proud of. As an ancient social stratum with a large number of people and a huge team, wizards played an important role in the creation and dissemination of fairy tales and ancient novels. The richer the myths and legends about wizards, the stronger people's belief in witchcraft. Then, due to the firmness of this belief, their interest in myths and legends will become stronger and stronger, and their belief in witchcraft will become more and more persistent. The proliferation of witchcraft thoughts and superstition of wizards laid a broad social and folk foundation for the prevalence of witchcraft stories in ancient novels. The role of witches has an important relationship with the occurrence and development of literature and art in China, and this belief in witches is very popular among Han people. There are also alchemists who have flourished since the Warring States Period. The alchemist is a fairy, who advocates that people can become gods through learning and live forever. The rumor that Qin Shihuang pursued immortality is very famous. These wizards and alchemists use the folk customs and beliefs of the Han nationality to advocate the supernatural and fabricate miraculous books. In this way, the rumors of genie prevailed among people and spread. This trend became the mother of the novels of the Six Dynasties. As far as novels are concerned, wizards believe in witchcraft and preach it. In addition to general oral communication, narrative literature has become the best carrier for wizards to spread witchcraft after the emergence of words. Witches have made great contributions to the emergence and development of novels consciously or unconsciously. Various witchcraft popular in the Warring States period is one of the sources of the rise of novels. Witchcraft stories abound in the gods and demons of the pre-Tang Dynasty, and there are a lot of records about witchcraft in such novels as Biography, Search for Ji Shen, Youming Road, Natural History, Xuanzhong Ji, and Gleaning. When we infer the author of the novel from its source, it is not difficult to find that there is an inseparable relationship between the original author of the novel and the witch.
