The ancients thought that after death, the soul still exists independently and becomes a ghost, which is an invisible, massless attachment to the body. When people are alive, the soul out of the body is very dangerous, in order to save the soul from leaving the body, there are many ways to recruit the soul, call the soul.

For example, "floating cottage where there are diseases, more according to the ghosts, recently began to know to extend the doctor to take medicine. As for the rural and mountainous areas, medicine is difficult to cure, a disease, the wizard to take advantage of the confusion; more fasting good woman, burning incense and reciting Buddha to save people's diseases, nine leaves bridle hydra tail to keep good beer!

In the northern part of Shanxi, there is a popular way of exorcising ghosts by "watching the intruders". As long as men, women, and children are sick, those who believe in this way will go to the paper store to "see the intruder", the so-called intruder, ghosts and demons. And "see the intruder" is actually seeking to exorcise the ghost of the formula. In the old days, towns and counties in the paper store are operating a special superstitious paper, such as "money stacks", "empty space" and so on, there are books on this path, as long as the person asked the date of the disease can use these things to find out the method of resignation of ghosts and the use of artifacts. Such as which direction, a few steps out of the door, a few multicolored paper money, a few stacks of money and so on. When sending ghosts, one way is to use a bowl of sauerkraut field water, the three pillars of incense lit on both ends of the patient's head after three turns, the mouth chanting words, two of which can be heard is "head to, feet up", "where to, where to", and then observe the sauerkraut soup water It is said that the ghosts can be seen and sent in the direction of the ghosts, after which the various sacred papers are sent to the gate for incineration. In this way, the haunted ghosts can be sent away to heal the sick and save the people.
