Chinese culture has always been full of mystery and awe, and all kinds of demons and monsters have become the demons of our childhood. In myths, people become terrible ghosts when they die, but what about ghosts after they die? What will they become? Will the immortal Buddha die?
The Southern Song Dynasty's "Ghost Record" recorded, "People die as ghosts, and ghosts die as deaf." ”聻 is a structure up and down with two pronunciations, nǐ or jiàn. When pronounced jiàn, it refers to something that follows the death of a ghost.
In the eyes of the ancients, "deafness" is a very deterrent existence, as the so-called "people die as ghosts, people are afraid of it; Ghosts are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of them", people are afraid of ghosts, just as ghosts are afraid of ghosts.
Therefore, people wrote the words on the talisman and hung it all over the room, hoping to drive away all demons and monsters, drive away evil spirits, and protect peace.
Just like the famous crape myrtle, it is composed of "rain" and "deaf". Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, the phrase "ghosts die as deaf" reflects the thinking of the ancients about the afterlife.
But when it comes to "ghosts die for deafness", some people ask, since the ghosts and monsters with vast magical powers will die, will the immortal immortals die? What will become of them when they die?
The five decays of heaven and man have been recorded in the "Book of Parables of the Law and Sentences", and the book of life and death has also been written in "Journey to the West", the three tribulations of wind, thunder and fire, and many immortals**. There is also no shortage of episodes of the death of immortals.So, in the eyes of the ancients, immortals also died.
So what will be the immortal after death? There are many theories about this.
Some people believe that after death, the gods will become a kind of deaf-like existence, but with greater powers. You can move freely in the Three Realms.
There are also people who believe that after death, the immortals will enter the void, that is, the body will return to chaos, disappear, no longer have an independent consciousness, and become one with the Heavenly Dao.
But the most well-known theory is reincarnation. There is this kind of description in many myths**, which says that after the death of the immortals, they will enter the six realms of reincarnation, reincarnate and practice again. Just like Tang Seng, he is the reincarnation of the golden cicada after the tenth reincarnation.
In fact, although there are no gods or ghosts, he still uses his extremely romantic and wonderful imagination to write one beautiful story after another.
