Ghost and Divinity
Copyright Yutopian 2000

The believe in ghost and divinity dates back to ancient China, with the former predating the latter. In ancient societies, ghost worshipping was very popular, with the common believe that human became ghosts after they died (Shui Wen Jia Zi by Xu Sheng). Ancient Chinese mistook characters in dreams as out-of-the-body experience, believing that the soul and the body can be separated. The soul of a living person is confined within the body and is harmless. A ghost on the other hand is no longer under the control of the body. Ghosts could reincarnate or continue to interact with human beings. Disasters, sickness, and death were often explained as the acts of ghosts. Because of this, most people were afraid of ghosts, and tried to avoid them. Exorcism was invented later. It was a common practice to leave the dead in the wilderness instead of burying them. With the development of the concept of ghost, ancient Chinese began to believe that the dead need nice residence and enjoyment much like the living. This led to the construction of tombs and the burial of treasure for the dead. Jewelry made of stone, decors made of animal teeth, and bone tools were found in the burial grounds of the Peking Man. The Yangshao coffins have holes that the dead can exit and re-enter.
