Ge Lao said: In fact, there are many things to figure out in the human world and the ghost world, and glory and wealth are no match for life and death. Although black impermanence and white impermanence are both impermanence ghosts, the former brings only disaster to people, while the latter brings fear and anxiety to people on the one hand, and good luck to make people rich on the other hand.

This also reflects a folk concept that ghosts are as good and evil as humans!

Impermanence is included in the top 10 yin handsome. On the other hand, Bai Wuchang was always smiling, wearing a long hat with the words "make money at first sight" on it! Hei Wuchang had a fierce face, and the words "the world is peaceful" on the long hat. Why is impermanence black and white?

I think there are several reasons for this: First, many of the legendary gods have a human nature! To catch evil ghosts, you can't just have one job all day long, you have to take shifts, right? Otherwise, one god will not be able to stand this job for a long time.

Second, from the perspective of black and white yin and yang, it is in line with the Taoist theory of yin and yang! Third, from the analysis of many folk legends, Bai Wuchang mostly punishes those who are "not worthy enough," and black impermanence is the one who uses chains and shackles to catch evil ghosts.

Black and white impermanence is only a representation of yin and yang attributes, "black" and "white" represent one yin and one yang, that is, black impermanence represents the feminine body, and white impermanence represents the masculine body.

This is also in line with the contrasting black and white colors of the yin and yang fish in the Taiji diagram. It can be seen that the theory of "impermanence" is also inseparable from the Taiji diagram, and the theoretical basis of "impermanence" is the theory of yin and yang.

The two impermanence personalities, judging from the shape of their faces, are markedly different! And Bai Wuchang showed a very strange smile, I don't know what it means.

The two of them can be divided into one that clearly wants to detain the soul, and the other who may devise a trap to cause people to fall into a trap and lose their lives. The responsibility of black and white impermanence is to be responsible for the detention of the soul, that is, to take the life of the living and turn it into a dead person, and to take the soul of the person to the underworld to be dealt with.

The weapon of the "mourning stick" held by black and white impermanence is one of the magic weapons of the Yama Palace, and the power is self-evident, specifically aimed at the soul of people, and the weak-willed person will immediately be attracted by the strange attraction of the mourning stick, and take away the soul and die. For generations, it has been the Yama Temple, used to suppress the more powerful souls who do not obey discipline and are unwilling to reincarnate.

Murong Feixue asked, "Then why can't there be only one impermanence, but it must be black and white?"

Ge Laodao: That's a good question, so I'll talk about it. First of all, we must understand what is a soul and what is a spirit? According to the general explanation: a soul refers to a spirit that can exist apart from the body. 魄 refers to the spirit that exists by attaching itself to the body. Although it is common to use the soul together to describe the soul, in fact, the meaning of the two words is clearly quite different!

First, the soul must be detached from the living body and be able to exist independently. But the spirit must be attached to the living body in order to exist, and the spirit cannot be independent, otherwise it cannot be called the spirit. Like the lost spirit of the great god of Fuxi, it must rely on the "flower on the other side" in order to continue to exist! Otherwise, time will change over time and dissipate in this heaven and earth.

Second, the soul and the spirit both refer to a kind of spirit, which seems to be the similarity between the two, but the meaning of the word "spirit" is too broad! When we subdivide it, we can find that the "spirit" referred to by the soul and the spirit are actually different. The soul refers more to the soul, and in addition to the "substance" that leaves the human body after death is often thought to be the soul, the "soul" here refers more to thought and morality.

There is also an explanation that the soul is the most quintessential and main part of things. What is more embodied here is a kind of cohesion, a kind of spirit, and an illusory life.

Another explanation of spirit is spirit, energy. This "spirit" focuses more on energy than on spirit! Therefore, it is believed that the spirit really refers to qi, which is the qi circulating in the human body! It is the yang energy relative to the underworld, the qi that passes through the meridians, and it is also the vitality of the human beings mentioned in the exercises! It is also the qi of the Great Dao.

Third, from the above two points, it can be inferred that after a person's death, the soul will fly away and leave the person's body! And the soul will be scattered when the person dies and has nothing to attach to and operate! Therefore, there are idioms such as "the soul flies away" and "the soul does not possess the body," but it is not said that "the soul is scattered and the soul flies."

Of course, this refers to the body and soul of ordinary people. Since the great god of Fuxi himself is the great god of creation, he is not among the above!

Fourth, everything is divided into yin and yang, so which is yin and which is yang? People often say that "the yin soul does not disperse", and the soul should naturally be yin. And the spirit, there is no saying that it is yin, when people die, it is often said that the yang spirit is scattered, and the sky is weak, and it is natural for the spirit to be yang.

At first glance, it seems to make sense, but in fact, it is not! The soul and the spirit cannot be judged in an independent, single state whether they are yin or yang. Because the original existence of the soul and the spirit cannot be separated from the living body, whether it is a human, a beast, or a plant, they are all living beings, and it is absolutely wrong to separate the soul and the soul from the living body to talk about the soul and the spirit alone!

The yin and yang attributes of the spirit should be consistent with the yin and yang attributes of the living body, if the male is yang, then the spirit is yang, and the female is yin. That's why when looking at palmistry, men should look at the left hand and women look at the right!

When arranging the luck of the eight characters, it is necessary for men to be yang and yin, and women to be yin and yang, which is just the nature of "spirit". The yin and yang attributes of the soul are the opposite of those of the living body, if the male is yang, the soul is yin, and the female is yin, then the soul is yang.

In order to be able to explain yin and yang more intuitively, let's take the modern view of "electricity" as an example. Positive and negative charges are represented, with positive charges representing yang and negative charges representing yin. According to the principle of same-sex repulsion, opposite-sex attraction, and the principle of yin and yang five elements can be deduced

Male: Yang = Yang + Yin Soul. And female: Yin body = Yin spirit + Yang soul. The yang body, that is, the masculine life body, is equivalent to Tai Chi, and the yang spirit and the yin soul are equivalent to the yin and yang two instruments. In this way, the yin and yang states of men and women themselves can be balanced.

When a person's body ages and dies, the soul leaves the body and enters what we often call the underworld. In order to enter this space, there must be an indirect "matter" to attract this soul, and this "matter" is impermanence.

That's when the black-and-white impermanence comes into play. Black impermanence is the representative of the feminine, white impermanence is the representative of the masculine, and the human soul is divided into yin and yang, when the human soul is separated from the body, the male yin soul is attracted and captured by the masculine of white impermanence!

The female yang soul is attracted and captured by the femininity of black impermanence. The principle of impermanence fixing the soul to oneself is that the same sex repels and the opposite sex attracts. The legendary ghost saw black and white impermanence, that is, he could not move, and in fact he was attracted by an extremely strong force.

If impermanence has only one neutral structure, then no matter what characteristics the soul has, what its yin and yang nature is, it cannot interact with impermanence, and it cannot be absorbed and captured by impermanence. Therefore, impermanence must have two attributes, yin and yang, that is, black and white.

Why is it necessary for black and white impermanence to be attracted at the same time after death? If the male ghost is attracted by white impermanence, black impermanence is obviously useless, and the problem that white impermanence can solve alone, why should two people come and go at the same time?

Just now, I only talked about the relationship between the soul and impermanence, but I didn't talk about the spirit. As we all know, if the soul is scattered, it will die, the soul will fly, and the soul will disperse, which is actually saying that the soul and the spirit have left the human body. To fly the soul is to be attracted to impermanence and to capture. And the spirit is to disperse, that is, the "spirit" no longer gathers in the body, is withdrawn and sucked away by external forces, and the form of the "spirit" is dissolved.

And scattered, you have to rely on impermanence. The principle is still that the same sex repels each other, and the opposite sex attracts. When the yang spirit encounters black impermanence, it will attract, and the "spirit" will be sucked and sucked away from the human body, and eventually the spirit will be scattered. In the same way, the yin spirit can only be dispersed when it encounters white impermanence.

That is to say: for men, white impermanence sucks its yin soul, and black impermanence disperses its yang. For women, black impermanence sucks its yang soul, and white impermanence disperses its yin spirit. Therefore, black and white impermanence must be introduced at the same time!

Don't be afraid of black and white impermanence, being led by them is not a bad thing, it means that you are still in a relatively advanced reincarnation, and you have not become the legendary lonely ghost!

Of course, in general, people still don't want to be led by black and white impermanence. For example, the Chinese people on the earth of the world, more people expect the Buddha's guidance, fairy music, lotus flowers, and the bliss of jumping out of reincarnation. But the rate of people being able to reach this level is too low after all! But this does not hinder people's yearning, on the contrary, more and more people are working hard to achieve it.....

Ge Lao paused for a moment and then said: I also have an allusion to the impermanence of the mother here, in the folklore and sculptures of the universe and earth, Bai Wuchang has a wife. Folklore has it that Impermanence Niangniang is a stone pillar person. There is a city god surnamed Ma in the stone pillar, who has a bold temperament and is suave.

Ma Chenghuang fell in love with a beautiful mortal woman, and was worried that after the king of Hades found out, he would cure him for the crime of going to the mortal world privately and coveting women. If you want the media to marry, there are no rules in the underworld. Therefore, I was very depressed.

Once, Yin Cao Impermanence went to the stone pillar to run errands, and Ma Chenghuang saw Impermanence's amiable smile and immediately had an idea. Secretly thought: Impermanence is a righteous god in the underworld, if he can say that he can marry a man and god, he can also marry a wife and start a family.....
