What does the Newspeak of Avatar mean?

The word "divine power" in Shi Shuo Xin Yu refers to the magical supernatural ability of some people. This ability is usually considered great and extraordinary, and can even be regarded as a gift from divinity. In ancient China, many people were considered to have magical powers, such as Buddhists, Taoists, health magicians and others. They are often regarded as God's spokesmen, who can walk between heaven and earth, master the power of nature, and even predict the future and gain God's favor.

In Shi Shuo Xin Yu, many stories tell people's magical experiences. For example, on one occasion, when Shu Qi, commander-in-chief of Wei State, was in danger, he was blessed by the Buddha before praying for him so that he could be safe and sound. On another occasion, Wang Bo of the State of Jin heard dogs barking during a sacrifice, which indicated that the country would suffer disaster. All these stories show that the manifestations of supernatural power can be dreams, foreknowledge, protection and so on. Avatar is usually associated with religious belief and high power, which can be used to inspire people, build beliefs and manipulate people's thoughts and behaviors.

Avatar has a profound influence on China culture. The belief system and spiritual level it covers have profoundly influenced China's ancient and modern social life and ideology. The popularity of supernatural forces has filled the whole society with religious beliefs. In modern society, some seemingly similar phenomena, such as out-of-body experience, past lives, etc., are also regarded as the modern continuation of supernatural forces. Although these phenomena are gradually weakening, their position in China's culture and thought is still extremely important and has become an irreplaceable part of traditional culture.
