Is "calling the soul" superstition or science?

When babies or children hear, see or encounter loud scolding, firecrackers, dog barking, etc. He will tremble, cry and get excited because of fear. Superstition says that if he scares the "soul", he must bring back the lost soul through a method or procedure. The way to summon the soul is to summon the soul.

The first form is the child's fear, commonly known as "ghost". Mothers, grandmothers or elders will take their children's clothes and shout to the north. You're not afraid to come back. The second form of soul calling is the traditional funeral procedure. Before the formal mortuary ceremony, the deceased was rocked by relatives wearing soul hats at the door and repeatedly called you back to cry.

From the perspective of psychological comfort, it reflects the concern of adults for children and is a complete sense of security for frightened children. But for the deceased, this is more a program invented by relatives who are unwilling to accept their own death. They want the souls of the dead to come back. In the folk, soul calling, also known as "keeping scriptures" and "keeping souls", is very popular in most parts of the country. As a popular folk custom, soul calling has different operations and applications in different places.

From the perspective of psychoanalysis, even if adults don't call, the "call of the soul" will not disappear. The child will be fine the next day or a few days at most. If the "soul" really fell, did you call it back? The call of the soul "just expresses the care and sustenance of adults for their children." "Soul Call" can make children love their parents and family more. Establishing a healthy parent-child relationship between children and families is conducive to the healthy development of children's personality. "Soul Call" is a kind of children's language, which eliminates the folk phenomenon of "soul call" in children's fear, removes its unscientific components, develops it, and then transforms it into a scientific method of children's psychotherapy.

Soul calling is a science that combines superstition. In fact, the way to cry is very simple, that is, parents crouch in a frightened place with their frightened children, holding or holding the children with one hand, repeatedly touching the ground with the other hand, then wiping them on the children, chanting their names and shouting "Come back, come back". After the soul cries, frightened and energetic children can alleviate the symptoms, but this is not superstition or ghosts. What it can learn is that the call of the soul soothes and irons the dryness of the child with a soft voice, and relieves the child's fear, that's all.
