Counting the four female immortals in ancient folklore, men are basically ill-fated

Now we often call beautiful women with beautiful appearance and sexy appearance goblins. Why? Because in our myths and legends in China, female goblins often confuse people with their appearance, especially making men love and hate each other, so there is this saying. Modern literary films often exaggerate the love between transvestites.

Are all goblins so cute? This is obviously a big illusion. In fact, in ancient times, there was often a legend that banshees ate people. Who will fall in love with food?

The following are four female fairies that often appear in ancient legends. They all eat people and don't spit bones. Men are basically unlucky.

First of all, the fox

The most famous leprechaun in China is the fox, represented by da ji. According to folklore, the fox itself is a very spiritual animal. It is said that after absorbing the essence and popularity of the sun and the moon, the fox will become a beauty in a hundred years and a decepticon in Kyubi no Youko in a thousand years.

So how did the fox become a beauty? There is also a saying here. According to the book Youyang Za in the Tang Dynasty, if a wild fox wants to become a human, it must find a suitable skull in the graveyard and wear it on his head to worship Beidou. If the skull doesn't fall off, it will become a beauty, seduce passers-by and suck the yang.

Second, snake essence

Snake essence enjoys a high reputation in China, and its representative is Legend of the White Snake. When it comes to snake essence, people will think of white snake. In fact, the earliest snake spirits, like foxes, also like to confuse men with beauty.

For example, Bo Zhi Yi recorded the story of Li Huang, that is to say, a man named Li Huang met a beautiful woman, was possessed by a snake spirit, and finally became fascinated.

The first half of this story is similar to the plot of Xu Xian's encounter with a white snake, but in different years, the ending is also very different. The beauty of snakes and scorpions is not for nothing.

Third, the dragon lady

The most famous legend about dragons is Liu Yichuan. Although it is not well-known in modern times, it was once known as one of the four Chinese folktales together with The Legend of the White Snake, which mainly tells the fate of Liu Yi, a scholar, and the Dragon Lady, who is considered to be half demon and half fairy, so the evil degree is relatively better.

But after all, the dragon lady also has a demon side. In Taiping Guangji, contemporary with Liu Yi's biography, there are many stories about dragon girls eating people and drinking blood. This is because the status of dragons has declined since the Tang Dynasty. For people, the dragon is a terrible creature, and falling in love with this creature also takes great risks.

Fourth, hag

Originally a monster in Indian mythology, it was introduced to China with Buddhism in the early years and spread widely among the people in China. Now we still call fierce women sluts. In fact, the hags that people in China often talk about are very different from those in India and Buddhism.

In the folklore of China, Dragon Hag also likes to turn into a beautiful woman to seduce people. Usually she gets up in the middle of the night and eats all the bones left by men, which is simpler and ruder than any goblin. There are countless similar stories from Taiping Guangji in Tang Dynasty to Yuewei Caotang Notes in Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when a man meets a leprechaun, he usually thinks he is in love, but for these leprechauns, it is just a means of hunting, which has been the case for thousands of years. Only in modern times, many people fall in love with goblins in order to praise love.

This gives people an illusion, which has been the case since ancient times. In fact, for a long time, it was normal for goblins to eat talent. Mainly because the ancients wanted to tell future generations not to covet beauty, fairies are both beautiful women and cannibals.
