Does anyone know anything about the soul invocation ceremony in Chu?

After the body of the deceased is arranged, a soul invocation ceremony is held. It is said that the soul of a guest who dies in another country cannot find his way back. This soul will stay in a foreign land like his corpse and suffer endless misery. He will also not be able to enjoy the consecration of cigarettes, the offering of food and the transcendence of scriptures. This lonely soul will become a most miserable hungry ghost, forever reincarnating in a foreign land, drifting for a long time without any hope of being reborn. Unless his family members "invoke" his soul, so that he can hear the voice of those who are looking for him, he will be able to follow the voice to come back.

The ceremony must be held on a certain day. On that day, the bereaved family will put up a soul flag in front of the door, or hang a soul silk. In some places, relatives have to go up to the roof and shout to invoke the soul, so that the soul of the deceased to come home. It is said that this is the Manchu and other nomadic heritage, in the grasslands, if you see which tent in front of a large streamer, we know which family died, everyone will come to offer condolences, to help take care of the funeral. Later, this became a common mourning custom of the Manchu people.

In the historical records, the ceremony of invoking the soul has a very early origin. Some documents of the Zhou Dynasty said that the relatives of the deceased to rise from the front of the house to invoke the soul, holding the clothes of the deceased face north call, if the deceased is a man, call the name of the word, and called three times, in the hope that the soul of the deceased to return to the clothes, and then come down from the back of the house, put the clothes on the body of the deceased, the clothes are also known as the "abdominal clothes". This "garment" was worn by a person, stained with the fragrance of human skin, and had the dual connection of "flesh" and "breath"; the soul might be attracted to it, and return to it according to the familiar flavor or shape. The soul may be attracted to it and return to it according to its familiar flavor or shape. It is said that the Dai people in the past, almost every family is prepared to call the soul of the "soul bucket", when the soul, the deceased's clothes in the bamboo bucket, put white rice and white thread, said to bring back the soul.

Some invocation ceremonies are very much characterized by occupation, such as the invocation of the fishermen. They have a special set of ritual customs. After the unfortunate fisherman buried at sea, because it is often impossible to find the body, his family will use a scarecrow to replace the body, wearing the clothes of the deceased, set up in the home of the "spirit hall". At the same time, on the beach outside the village, Taoist priests are invited to invoke the soul of the deceased. Recruitment should be carried out at night when the tide is rising, the relatives of the deceased to the beach to shout, lost in the sea "Yin soul" shout back, recruited into the scarecrow, and then buried. This ceremony is called the "tide of souls". Relatives should first set up a small "dipping platform" on the beach, and then in the evening, in the tent lit incense and candles, placed in the middle of the scarecrow, the body affixed to the deceased's birth date. When the tide rises at night, the Taoist priest sits on the "dipping platform", rings the bells and cymbals, and recites incantations. At this time, "dipping platform" before and after a pile of bonfires, someone holding a pole with a root of the bamboo, hanging on the top of the top of the basket, which contains a rooster, facing the sea, along with the Taoist priest's incantations, constantly shaking the bamboo. There are also family members of the deceased, wearing mourning, carrying lanterns with words, calling the name of the deceased: "so-and-so to ah! So-and-so come ah!" The sound is very bleak. Then, by a child or relative promised: "Come on! Come on!" The Taoist priests guide the souls home until the tide rises and flattens out. Only on the next day do the relatives put the scarecrow in a coffin and send it to the mountains for burial.

When a person dies, the soul of course has to leave the body. But where to go from the vast netherworld? So the next program is by the living people to give him "show the way". To "show the way" is to show the ghost the way to heaven. In the world of the dead in some northern religions, the "return" of the dead requires the help and guidance of a shaman. First of all, first on a road, continue to go forward, there are many forks, which is according to the different sex of the dead set up a path. The souls of the dead go up the path of their own clan and cross a river where there are many white bones. Under this practice, it is said that the river can be crossed safely.

Appreciation:

The author of "Invoking the Soul" is historically different. Sima Qian believed that it was the work of Qu Yuan, who said in the Historical Records - Qu Yuan Jia Sheng Liezhuan: "Yu read Li Sao, Tian Wen, Invoking the Soul, and Mourning Ying, and grieved for his will." Wang Yi, in his Chu Rhetoric Chapter and Verse, attributed it to Song Yu: "The Recruitment of Souls is also made by Song Yu. Song Yu pity Qu Yuan, loyal and repudiation, sadness, mountain and Ze, the soul of the anonymous, the life will fall. Therefore, he wrote "Invoke the Soul", want to restore its spirit, prolong its life, outside the four sides of the evil, within the beauty of Chu, in order to satirize the king of Huai, hoping for its enlightenment and return to the also."

What is more or less strange is that for a long time, most of the literati of Han, Tang, Wei, Jin and Song accepted Wang Yi's statement. It was not until the Ming Dynasty scholar Huang Wenhuan in the Chu Rhetoric Listening Straight - Listening to Two Strokes, that he explicitly refuted Wang Yi's claim and for the first time put forward the idea that the Invocation of the Soul is Qu Yuan's own invocation of his soul. Since then, the Qing Lin Yunming's "Chu Rhetoric Lights", and the present-day You Guo'en's "Qu Yuan" and other writings support Huang Wenhuan's point of view that "Recruitment of Souls" is Qu Yuan's self-recruitment of his soul.

You Guoen pointed out that in ancient times, there are examples of recruiting one's own soul, Xie Lingyun's "Mountain Dwelling Fugue", "Recruiting the frightened soul in a critical condition, and collecting the dangerous shape in the appendage", and Du Fu's "Pang Nga Hsing", "Cutting out the paper to recruit my soul", which is one of the examples. In addition, ethnic minorities have also passed down the custom of recruiting the souls of the living. The General Review of Literature, Volume 330, cites Song Fan Chengda's "Guihai Yuheng Zhi" (not available in the current version), which records a local custom: "Those who return from far away from their families stop at 30 miles away. The family sends a witch with a bamboo basket to receive, take off the returnee's clothes and store them in the basket to guide them back home. This is the way to collect the souls of the pedestrians and return to their homes." (In fact, this custom of welcoming the returnees has the function of reducing the spread of infectious diseases from the outside world).

In addition, some people believe that the article "Inviting the Soul" was written by Song Yu to invite the soul of the dead King Hali Xiang of Chu, or that Song Yu invoked the soul of the seriously ill King Hali Xiang of Chu. At the same time, in the folk of Yuanxiang, there is still a story that Song Yu and Jing Dai came to the Miluo River on the occasion of Qu Yuan's death one year ago to invoke the soul of Qu Yuan.

In fact, it may have happened that Song Yu and Jing Chai once invoked the soul for Qu Yuan, Song Yu or Jing Chai once invoked the soul for King Hai Xiang of Chu, Qu Yuan once invoked the soul for himself, and Qu Yuan once invoked the soul for King Huai of Chu, and all of these works of theirs may have been titled as Invocation of the Soul. However, the specific to the circulation of the text of "Chu Rhetoric - Recruitment of Souls", it should be Qu Yuan for the Chu Huai Wang Recruitment of Souls when made.

First of all, Sima Qian clearly pointed out in the Records of the Grand Historian that Qu Yuan's works include a piece called "Invoking the Soul". Secondly, invoking the soul is a serious activity, generally speaking, it is made under orders, the object of invoking the soul is the dead or seriously ill will be dead. Accordingly, "Invoking the Soul" was written by Qu Yuan under orders to invoke the soul of King Huai of Chu, and it was the last work written by Qu Yuan during his term of office as a minister of Sanlu. Furthermore, the life of the protagonist described in Invocation of the Soul is not in line with Qu Yuan's identity and actual situation, but in line with the identity of the King of Chu.

As we know, in 329 BC, King Wei of Chu died and reigned for 11 years, and Xionghuai, the son of King Wei of Chu, succeeded to the throne as King Huai. 328 BC, for the first year of King Huai of Chu. In 299 B.C., King Huai of Chu entered Qin and was detained, and reigned for 30 years; Chu established Prince Heng, who was King Haxiang. In 296 BC, King Huai of Chu died in Qin.

It should be noted that, according to "Yi Zhou Shu - Posthumous Law", Zhou Gongdan and Taigongwang formulated the posthumous law, after the death of the king, the vassal, the grandmaster, the descendants should set up a temple to hold a grand ceremony, and according to the deeds and encounters of the deceased in his lifetime, he was evaluated a title, which is called a posthumous name. King Huai of Chu, that is, after the death of King Xionghuai of Chu, received a posthumous title, which was selected by King Haxiang and his ministers according to Xionghuai's deeds and encounters during his reign, expressing sympathy and remembrance. Huai, the original meaning is to refer to the chest, derived from the Huai Tibetan, miss, heart, return to, appeasement, surround, come to; the Chu king Xionghuai posthumous name "Huai Wang", should be a symbol of Xionghuai died in the Qin State of the tragedy of the appeasement.

This fully indicates that, after the death of King Huai of Chu, the state of Chu had held a corresponding formal sacrificial activities, "Invocation" that is, part of the official sacrificial activities. As King Huai of Chu was tricked into entering Qin, stayed alone in Qin for three years, and finally died in Qin, his encounter had made the Chu people mourn. Therefore, the activity of invoking the soul of King Huai of Chu may have been carried out many times, and the most solemn invocation ceremony should be when King Huai of Chu just died, that is to say, "Invoking the Soul" should be written at this time.

In ancient China, there is no concept of predecessor, afterlife, or heaven, hell, only the concept of immortal souls and gods and ghosts. The nature of ancient China's Yudu and hell is not the same. Yudu refers to the world of underground space, while hell is the place where souls are judged, punished and reincarnated. In fact, the Invocation of the Soul describes the Nine Passes of the Tiger and the Leopard in the sky and the Nine Testaments of the Tubal underground, neither of which has any concept of heaven or hell. However, after the introduction of Buddhism into China, Yudu was gradually given the function of hell, and there was also the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Palace in the sky.

The so-called immortality of the soul means that the soul can exist independently from the body. Whenever a person sleeps, is seriously ill and in a coma, and when he dies, it is interpreted as an out-of-body experience, i.e., the soul has been detached from the body, and the soul needs to be recruited back into the body in order to make the person come back to life. The so-called concept of gods and ghosts originally referred to the souls of people after they died, with the good souls being gods and the bad souls being ghosts (initially, ghosts did not have a bad connotation, but rather referred to ancestral souls). In addition, besides human beings, other natural objects also have souls, such as mountains have mountain gods and water gods. Around the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, from the original concept of ghosts and gods, and deduce the concept of gods and fairies.

In China's Yunnan Naxi custom, each family hangs a bamboo basket to store the souls of family members, the girl married to the in-laws, to carry out the soul from the mother's home to the in-laws of the sorcery ceremony, the only way to show that the newcomer is really to the in-laws, the local concept of the ceremony even more important than the transfer of household registration. When someone passes away, a soul invocation ceremony will be held for him or her, in which the purpose of invoking the soul is no longer to let the soul return to the body, but to guide the soul to return to the place where the ancestors live, which is the real meaning of the leaves return to their roots. To this end, the Naxi dongba (shaman), specially painted "God Road map", written on it the migration of the tribe on the way through the name of these places, these names are often as many as one or two hundred, beckon the soul of the dongba to face the deceased's casket, backward while walking in order in order to read out loud. Taiwan scholar Mr. Li Lin Chan (former Vice President of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan) has examined the Naxi people's God Road map, found that the place names are real, and the late period of migration through the name of the place is still recognizable.

Qu Yuan was in the era of the Chu invocation of the soul of the custom, not necessarily with today's Naxi exactly the same. However, the basic cultural connotation of the invocation should be the same, that is, to guide the souls of the dead to return to their hometowns. This is very clear in "Invoking the Soul", for example, "The soul returns to its homeland, and enters the door of repair. The work wishes to beckon the king, and the back walks first. Qin bonfires and Zheng Jinluo. The tools are ready, and they are always crying out. The soul returns to its former home." The description is exactly the sorcerer backward, holding a bamboo basket containing the soul, guiding the soul to return to their hometown.

It is worth noting that the last sentence of "Invocation of the Soul" is "The soul returns to the south of the river". This is because the state of Chu was originally located in the south of the Yangtze River, so special emphasis on the soul of the deceased to return to the south of the Yangtze River, which means that the deceased did not die in the territory of Chu. Accordingly, the soul invoked in "Invoking the Soul" can only be the soul of King Huai of Chu who died in Qin. As a matter of fact, the whole text of "Invoking the Soul" is 282 sentences long, which is second only to "Li Sao" and "Heavenly Question" in the works of Qu Yuan, and it is obviously made when invoking the soul of a very important person, who is not King Huai of Chu.

The whole text of Invocation can be divided into three paragraphs, the first is the prologue, the second is the main text, and the third is the epilogue.

The prologue first describes the cries of the souls of the dead, in which "the long separation from the suffering and sorrow", or thought to refer to the exile of Qu Yuan, in fact, refers to the death of King Huai of Chu in Qin. Next, it is described that God sympathized with the misfortune of King Huai of Chu and ordered Wu Yang to invoke his soul. It is then described that Wu Yang reluctantly accepts God's order on the grounds that his duty is to interpret dreams.

This kind of opening statement cannot help but make people suspect that there is some kind of mystery hidden in it, and perhaps this is Qu Yuan alluding to himself with Wu Yang. As we know, ancient sorcery is a very complex knowledge system, its content is all-encompassing, so sorcerers also need to have a division of labor, in order to perform their respective duties, to better complete their work. However, since Qu Yuan had an unusual relationship with King Huai of Chu, he reluctantly decided to invoke the soul of King Huai of Chu himself. To this end, Qu Yuan borrows the process of King Huai's dreaming of God, and then God's ordering of Wu Yang to realize the purpose of invoking the soul of King Huai by himself. As a matter of fact, in the Nine Songs, the work of invoking and collecting the soul is undertaken by the Grand Secretary, which should be a traditional custom of the Chu state. However, Qu Yuan, who had been a long-time Sanlu dafu (三闾大夫), was at the same time an innovative sorcerer, scholar, and politician, which made it possible for him to revolutionize the rituals of invoking the soul, and to have it performed by Wu Yang ("巫阳").

The content of the main text can be divided into two levels, the first describes the evils of the north, south, east, west and north, the sky and the earth, and calls on the soul not to go to those places, but to return to its former home. The second describes the scenes of the sorcerer guiding the souls back to their hometowns, especially the luxury and comfort of the deceased's life in their hometowns, such as the "Nine Husbands and Daughters" and the "Solid Palace", which are obviously the life of a king.

The epilogue describes the person who presided over the invocation of the soul, recalling the spring of that year, he had gone to the south with the king of Huai hunting the happy scene; followed by a comparison of today, the road has been covered by weeds, looking thousands of miles away from the distant (should refer to the death of the king of Huai in the land of the Qin state), the heart of the spring of sadness came to life and heartfelt "souls come back to the sadness of the South of Jiangnan," the call. The first is the "Soul of the South", and the second is the "Soul of the South".

It is interesting to note that the Chu Tomb of Bullet Bank in Changsha has unearthed a figure of a man (soul) ascending to heaven with a dragon, and the Chu Tomb of Chenjia Dashan in Changsha has unearthed a figure of a dragon and phoenix guiding a man (soul) ascending to heaven. The silk paintings unearthed in the Western Han Dynasty tomb in Changsha's Mawangdui have rich contents of the heavenly world, the earthly world and the underground world. All these show that in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States and the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chu Chu especially focus on the soul after death, which is also the hundred schools of thought, only the literati scholars of Chu will write the "Nine Songs", "invoke the soul", "the great invocation of the" reason why.

Changsha is the first feudal land of Chu, which is also the location of the ancestral temple of the first king of Chu. Therefore, the soul of King Huai of Chu after his death should be guided to the ancestral temple. In other words, the ceremony of invoking the soul of King Huai was held in Changsha, and Qu Yuan's "Invoking the Soul" was also written in Changsha, and it makes sense that the epilogue is a glimpse of the world. At the same time, what happened to King Huai of Chu and the weakening of the Chu state also prompted Qu Yuan to have strong doubts about the fate of heaven, history, and sorcery, and it was in this context that he drafted the manuscript of Tianwen (Questions of Heaven).
