What are the works of witch culture in the pre-Qin period?

Witch culture is an ancient ten witches in Lingshan, headed by Wu Xian. It was created in Baoyuan Mountain, an ancient town in Ningchang, Wuxi, with astrology and divination as the main forms and salt culture and medicine culture as the main contents.

Witch culture is the regional characteristic culture of Han nationality, which was created by the "Ten Witches of Lingshan" headed by Wu Xian in ancient times with Baoyuan Mountain as the center, with astrology and divination as the main forms and salt culture and medicine culture as the main contents. According to Shan Hai Jing Ye Xi Jing, "There are Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Gu Wu, Zhen Wu, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie and Wu Luo, and all the medicines are here from now on", and Guo Pu's Wu Xian Fu Shan even contains "Wu Xian took Hongshu as the doctor of Emperor Yao. According to textual research, Baoyuan Mountain in Ningchang ancient town of Wuxi not only can be directly eaten by the ancients. Therefore, Baoyuan Mountain is an ancient "Ten Witches" headed by Wu Xian, and "Shangxia" is the Lingshan, which collects medicine and brine to make salt, and it is also the real Wushan Mountain. The mysterious and distant mother culture of Ba culture-witch culture (salt culture, medicine culture) was born here. In the Tang Yao era, Wu County was established, which formed the origin of witch culture in the Three Gorges area (Dawushan area). From here, Wu Shengwu surnamed Ba moved to Zhongli Mountain in Changyang, Hubei Province. The integration of Wu culture and Chu culture produced the once prosperous Ba culture, which gave birth to Story Club, Classic of Mountains and Seas, the opening masterpiece of literature, and Songs of Wu, and achieved fruitful results in astronomy, literature, writing, art, medicine and geography. Today, cultural events such as Bashan night songs and five folk songs, which still exist widely in Wuxi, are full of ancient customs, and the "two mysteries" of Ningchang ancient town, Daning River ancient plank road and hanging coffins, which are the remains of witch culture and history, are even more mysterious.

Witch has a long history, and there are witch characters in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which shows that it appeared before Shang Dynasty. Professor Xu, an expert from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, summed up the evolution of witch characters as shown on the right (according to Xu's The Root of Ancient Homophony in China, Taiwan Province Commercial Press, first edition, 1995). The earliest witch character is the intersection of two I characters, which is probably the pictograph of the utensils used in magic; Later, two people were dancing, and it was the witch who invited the fairy with her body movements.
