Brief introduction of witchcraft content in Xiangxi

What "Xiangxi Witchcraft" has done is to arouse the attention of scholars and people in society to witchcraft, and it has caused serious doubts and extensive humanistic reflection.

Witchcraft is one of the oldest mysterious cultural phenomena in Xiangxi traditional culture, which is rooted in national beliefs and has far-reaching and extensive influence. Up to now, there are still a lot of historical "living fossils" about witchcraft in many remote villages in western Hunan: trees thought to have died of witchcraft, water that can't be drunk because of witchcraft, land boundaries that can't be set foot on because of interests, houses that must be bypassed, and various tricks, symbols and spells widely circulated among the people. So far, many people are still thought to have died of witchcraft.
