Are there really ghosts in the world? I believe this question has been lingering in the minds of many people.
Because of ancient science, technology and production issues, there are many things that cannot be explained by reason. Gradually, people classified them as ghosts and gods.
In fact, many things can be easily explained from a scientific perspective if we look at them now.
There is a canyon in Gansu. Local people say that the canyon is where gods live. Because in normal times, under clear skies, the sound of thunder can be heard from inside, followed by the sound of heavy rain.
The villagers were very curious and went in to look for the reason but could not find it. As time went by, the locals began to spread the legend that there was a god living inside. When he gets angry, there will be lightning and thunder in the canyon, followed by heavy rain. The locals also explained that because it was a divine spell, ordinary people could hear it but not see it.
Over time, a legend of Fairy Valley spread in the surrounding areas.
After the reform and opening up of to , a scientific expedition team passed by this place. They heard this story while staying overnight and became interested. So the captain of the scientific expedition team led the team members to the valley to find the cause of the incident.
The scientific expedition team had been there for most of the day. When the villagers saw that the scientific expedition team had not returned yet, they all said that the scientific expedition team had offended the gods and was left there. As a result, when it was almost dusk, the scientific expedition team members came back talking and laughing.
It turns out that there are no ghosts and gods living in the valley. There is a special magnet in the structure of the valley. Because of the special arrangement of the valley, during thunderstorms, the magnet will produce a recording effect. After meeting the conditions , the magnet will loop and play the sounds recorded during thunderstorms.
Ghosts are not scary. What is scary is not knowing how to examine them from a scientific and inquiring perspective. There are just some natural stone mines in the valley, but so many villagers regard them as ghosts and gods and dare not approach them. It makes people laugh and cry afterwards.
In the "Into Science" program of CCTV-10 Science and Education Channel, there is a story about a ghost turning on the lantern in the middle of the night.
It is said that in a small village in Jiangsu Province, there was an old couple. The old man Huang Sanjin (pseudonym) and his wife Furong (pseudonym) have lived together for more than 30 years.
After the reform and opening up, the economy developed rapidly, and the village gradually became wealthy. The children of the elderly were also very filial.
That year they moved into their newly built two-story building. They thought their happy days were about to begin. But something strange happened at this moment. Whenever it was quiet at night, a light in a house would automatically light up.
The old man checked again and again and found no problems. After a sleepless night, no one was found to be deliberately causing trouble.
The old couple was so scared that they couldn't sleep. When the neighbors found out, they couldn't sleep either. Everyone helped to think of the reason. The old couple tried all kinds of methods, but the light would still light up on time at night.
For this purpose, they invited great immortals who practiced the practice, wandering Taoist priests, and monks who chanted sutras. But the strange thing is that no matter how powerful the master is, he just can't conquer this light that automatically turns on every night.
The old couple and the surrounding neighbors spent a long time in fear over this matter. It was not until later that the village overhauled the entire circuit because they were afraid that the newly built houses would have safety problems.
Only then did I realize that the screw on the switch was loose. Tighten it and it would be fine.
The old couple can finally have a good sleep, and the neighbors no longer have to worry.
"Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance", from "The Analects" Yongye , the original meaning is to respect them but not get close to them. But we are different now. We live in a scientific society, and some supernatural events and strange phenomena can be explained by scientific means. If you can't explain it, you don't understand it thoroughly enough.For modern people who grew up under the red flag and live in the new society, wouldn't it be funny to extol some myths about gods and ghosts?
