Is there really such a place in the legendary ghost world?

There is this ghost town, in Fengdu, Chongqing.

I don't know, I've never seen a ghost, I guess the people I've seen will be scared silly if they don't die!

The ghost city of Fengdu was formerly known as the ghost city of Xudu, which was the capital of Bazi in ancient times, and has a history of nearly 2,000 years. So, why is it called a ghost town?

In ancient times, feudal thinking was very serious, and everyone in the world believed that there were ghosts and gods in the world. Legend has it that there is a place called Xudu in the underworld that is an institution dedicated to the management of ghosts, and coincidentally, the traditional Chinese character of Fengdu is Xudu, so people in ancient times regarded Fengdu as the gateway to the underworld.

It is believed that this is a passage between the underworld and the world, and after people die, they will enter the underworld from Fengdu to be reincarnated. That's why Fengdu is known as a ghost town. There is also a theory that during the Han Dynasty, two Taoist priests who cultivated came to Fengdu County to cultivate and flew away.

Later, he was rewarded by the Jade Emperor to the underworld as the king of Hades, and the world specially built ghost sculptures in Fengdu in order to commemorate them, and the ghost city of Fengdu was obtained.

Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, there were two people, Yin Changsheng and Wang Fangping, who saw through the red dust and began to cultivate in the famous mountain of Fengdu, and later both cultivated to become immortals. People spread the word of mouth, and the two positions of Yin and Wang were slowly falsely rumored to be "Yin King". The two Yin and the King were merged into the King of the Hades, that is, the King of Yama.

After different dynasties, all kinds of statues related to ghosts and gods in Fengdu Famous Mountain became more and more stooly, and the atmosphere of ghost culture became stronger and stronger, so that later it was called "ghost town". As a result, during the Ming Dynasty, Fengdu also became the capital of Yudu.

酆都城 (fēng dū chéng), which can also be written as Fengdu City, is the old superstitious and legendary Yin Si Difu, where people go after death.

酆 (fēng) capital, the legendary underworld, is the place where the soul of a person goes after death. In addition, in real life, there is also a capital city, it is called Fengdu Ghost City, located in the north bank of the Yangtze River in Fengdu County, downstream of Chongqing, has a history of nearly 2,000 years, you can see a lot of legendary buildings here, such as Nai He Bridge, Huangquan Road, etc., countless tourists come here every year.

The legend of the capital city

There is such a legend about the city of Xudu: in the Han Dynasty, there were two people named Yin Changsheng and Wang Fangping, because they saw through the red dust, so they concentrated on cultivating in the famous mountain of Fengdu, and later they all cultivated to become immortals. People spread the word of mouth, and slowly passed on the two names of Yin and Wang as "Yin King", that is, the king of the underworld, which is what we now call the Lord of Yama.

Fengdu Famous Mountain is famous because of the "Yin King", and then after different dynasties, there are more and more statues and buildings related to ghosts and gods here, and the atmosphere of ghost culture is getting stronger and stronger, so that later it has the title of "ghost city". As a result, in the Ming Dynasty, Fengdu was renamed Xudu and officially became the underworld of the world. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, superstition was eliminated and the capital was renamed Fengdu.

Where is the capital city?

It is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Fengdu County, downstream of Chongqing, with a history of nearly 2,000 years, and is a tourist attraction for cruise passengers on the Yangtze River. In the city of Xudu, there are many legends of the buildings and shapes of Caodifu in the yin, such as the chain finger of the Hum Ha Temple, the Temple of the Son of Heaven, the Naihe Bridge, the Huangquan Road, the Wangxiang Terrace, the Yaowang Palace, etc.

Located in Fengdu County, Chongqing City, Yudu, also known as Fengdu, is one of the first batch of four-A tourist areas in the country. Fengdu Ghost City is a historical and cultural city that originated in the Han Dynasty, legend has it that this is the place where the soul of the person rests after death, and is also said to be "the ghost country of Kyoto, the underworld", there are many buildings similar to the underworld, such as: Hum Ha Temple, Nai He Bridge, Huangquan Road, Wangxiang Terrace.

The ghost city of Xudu is unique in the world, and there are many classic literary works that have been filmed here, such as: Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's havoc in the underworld was filmed here. The history of more than 2,600 years has made the capital even more mysterious, and many people have heard about it and wanted to see the style of the thousand-year-old city.

The Xuanmuro Chronicles once recorded that "travel more than ten miles, to a water, not a few feet wide, and flow to the southwest." Observing Xi, Xi said: This is the so-called Nai River, and its source comes from the prefecture.

The water is bloody, and the filth is not approachable. This is the Nai River, and the bridge over the river is called the "Nai He Bridge".

There are many theories about the origin of the ghost town of Xudu. One said that this was once the mission center of Taoism, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sect founded by Zhang Daoling absorbed witchcraft and evolved into the later "ghost religion", and then his grandson Zhang Lu set up Taoism "Pingduzhi" in Fengdu, so it is said. Second, the first generation of ghost emperors of the Bashu ghost clan lived here, because of the backwardness of the times, for some unexplained natural phenomena, they thought that they were all ghosts and gods.

The third theory is that Buddhism continues to use the ancient Indian mythology of the king of Yama, who manages the underworld, and believes that the king of Yama is an equal judge. Fourth, in the Han Dynasty, there were two Yin Changsheng and Wang Fang Fangfang, who were dissatisfied with the social status quo, and successively went to Fengdu to cultivate, and then became immortals, and in the Tang Dynasty, they were falsely rumored to be the Yin King.

In the current era of science, the theory of ghosts and gods has been self-defeating, but this statement has been circulating in the streets, the continuous rendering of the past dynasties, coupled with the legend, has made the ghost city of Xudu experience thousands of years of history, from the illusion to the entity, the combination of various sects, the combination of art and culture, there is today's ghost city of Xudu.

There are three origins as to why Fengdu is called a ghost town:

Taoist origins. A figure in the Three Kingdoms is mentioned here, and he is a hostile force when Liu Bei marched into Xichuan: Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Wudou Midao, Zhang Daoling absorbed a lot of witchcraft when he founded Wudou Midao, and there are many ghosts and gods.

Zhang Lu took over Zhang Daoling's five buckets of rice road, carried it forward, and in 198 A.D., and Fengdu territory set up "Pingdu Zhi", for a time became the mission center of five buckets of rice road.

Later, Wudou Midao changed Pingdu to Luofeng Mountain, and it was also rumored that it was the ghost capital of the Beiyin Emperor, and there were many ghosts and gods in Wudou Midao that were related to Luofeng Mountain, therefore, for a long time, the people set it as Fengdu.

Bashu two beliefs.

This origin is said to be earlier, and it is that the Ba and Shu ethnic groups were active in ancient Sichuan.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the two ethnic groups established Bazi Bedu in the Fengdu area, and the two ethnic groups blended and cooperated here, gradually forming a common religion and a common belief in God: Tubo.

Tubo, also known as the Ghost Emperor, is actually a person elected by the Bashu and Shu tribes, and this person lives in Youdu, which is today's Fengdu.

Because of the residence of the ghost emperor, of course, people slowly regarded this place as a ghost capital.

So far, the ruins of the "secluded capital" can still be found in Fengdu.

The Buddhist doctrine of the king of Yama.

Yama is a Sanskrit transliteration of the ability to be the ghost king of the underworld in Hindu mythology.

Buddhism inherited Hindu mythology and made him eighteen judges in charge of the eighteen levels of hell.

Buddhism was introduced to China, and these eighteen halls of Yama also became the ancients of our country, such as Bao Zheng, who was one of the eighteen Yama kings. In addition, it is for the king of Yama to find a place that once had a ghost capital: Fengdu, to be the capital of Yama.

The Ming and Qing dynasties added fuel to the fire.

Later, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the advent of "Journey to the West", "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and other strange ** made the myths and legends closely combined with the Chinese Bashu ghost culture, Taoist culture, and Buddhist culture, and most of these ** have a very magical and exquisite description of Fengdu, which makes the legend of Fengdu ghost city more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Because in the concept of Taoism, the god who rules the underworld is the Emperor Xudu, and the Emperor Xudu has no trace in the world, so the Emperor Xudu should not exist, so it is called a ghost city.

According to historical legends, it is from this place that King Yama was born, which is why this place is called a ghost town, which is nothing more than a myth and legend.

Because this place gives people an eerie feeling, everyone feels that this place is very bad.
