How can incense ashes or water fascinated by pagans become so like magic that many people in China regard it as a spiritual thing and are still so surprised? The answer can be explained by the viewpoint of "religious science", and the truth is immediately revealed. It turns out that this magical change is called "magic" (there is no fixed translation in Chinese, which is temporarily translated as "magic"). The indigenous people living in Melanesia Islands in the South Pacific are backward in culture and have a deep superstition. They believe that there is a spiritual power called "magic" in some objects, such as stones, arrows, fishing nets, ships and so on. All these magical things have unparalleled spiritual power, or make plants flourish (such as burying stones under a plant), or kill enemies (with arrows), or catch a lot of fish at once, or make ships move forward quickly. Usually with the help of ghosts or the souls of the dead, the living can get horses. So, if you sacrifice to ghosts and gods and please them, you can get what you want. In other words, not all stones, arrows, etc. Everything is full of magic, but you must first pray to ghosts or gods to mix it with what you want, and then this thing will produce magical power and everything will react. 1877, British Christian missionary Ke Ling Dunn wrote a book "melanesians" after on-the-spot investigation, and introduced this superstition called "magic" to the world. Since then, the word "mana" has become a very important "$ TERM" in religious studies.
Now, let's take a look at the incense ashes and hidden water that China people are superstitious about. These two things used to be very common, one is the ashes after burning incense, and the other is a piece of paper with some messy patterns painted on it. But these two things-ashes and paper-are called "omnipotent" under the encouragement of the parties to pray to pagan ghosts and gods and pagan priests, and Carl has the concept of "magic" in his mind, thinking that the delicious grizzly bear can cure all diseases and the drowning can take the college entrance examination. Of course, China people who enjoy drinking water will never know the religious concept of "magic"; But in fact, they are just a group of poor people who are driven to sleep by pagan horses, just like the indigenous people in melania!
We don't mean to say that Buddhist temples or Taoist temples are the base camp for supplying incense ashes or water, because I know that Buddhism will definitely move out of many reasons, and I have never admitted that Buddhist temples are the headquarters of incense ashes. We really hope that China Buddhist Temple will not provide incense ashes to its believers, which will kill people and make it not fun! In recent years, Taiwan Province Province has developed medicine and the people's economy is rich. Some people are sick, but they don't go to the hospital for regular treatment. They are determined to go to the hospital to eat incense ashes. Apart from explaining this strange phenomenon as "mana's trouble", we can't find other more suitable reasons at the moment. As for Taiwan Province Province, some high school graduates want to pass the college entrance examination by drinking water indiscriminately, which can also be said to be taken by heretics. Think about it, if drinking rich water can really be admitted to the university as easy as blowing off dust, then why should the gentlemen who preside over the joint examination be locked up in the examination room and suffer so much? I remember that the gentlemen who gave the exam questions were temporarily isolated from the outside world until they finished the exam. The only shortcut to get into college is to study hard! Work hard! Work hard! When I was studying in Japan, I often read until midnight. I brought a "lunch box" (lunch box) at noon to write my MA thesis, and I almost got "brain anemia" when reading in the university library. The library stipulates that some books are not allowed to be checked out and can only be read inside. ) I have graduated from college, so I'd like to briefly write about my learning experience here for your reference. Don't ask for water, just ask for your own efforts.
Pilose antler and ginseng chicken soup may nourish the body, but incense ashes and water are certainly useless, not only useless, but also a big mistake. One small step will leave a lasting regret. I advise people who are good at it not to eat incense and drink water!
