Xiangxi's method is the same as Xiangxi's corpse drive, and no one can point out its true situation until now. Different from corpse driving, the way of releasing corpses is almost all over Xiangxi, and corpse driving is mainly spread in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in Xiangxi.
This law is commonly known as "grass ghost" in Xiangxi area. It is said that it is only attached to women, which is harmful. Those so-called witches are called "grass ghosts".
No one has seen the so-called release method and appearance, except for the saying passed down from generation to generation, but it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Almost all Miao people believe in this law, but the weight varies from place to place.
In the conceptual world of Miao people, there are snakes, frogs, ants, caterpillars, sparrows and turtles. The method has multiplied in the person who owns it. If you can't find food, you will attack the person who owns it and ask for food. If the method master feels uncomfortable, he will vent it and endanger others.
In fact, this daunting method is not Miao's patent. Magic techniques were widely spread in ancient Jiangnan area of China. Method originally refers to insects born in utensils, later moths born after food spoilage, and insects born from other objects are also called methods. The ancients thought that this method was mysterious in nature and extremely toxic, so it was also called poison method, which could enter the human body through diet and cause diseases. The patient seems to be confused by ghosts. Most of the ancient poisonous insects mentioned by pre-Qin people refer to mysterious poisonous insects that naturally occur. Long-term superstition of poison law has formed the concept and practice of making laws to harm people. According to scholars' research, during the Warring States Period, some people in the Central Plains used and taught the method of sinning.
In many remote areas of Miao nationality, medicine in the old society was backward, and many diseases could not be effectively treated. Therefore, the ineffectiveness of each visit is often attributed to the method. With the popularization of scientific and cultural knowledge and the improvement of medical level in Miao areas, the influence of witchcraft superstition in Miao areas is getting smaller and smaller.
