In the myths and novels related to Eastern culture, there were different concepts of gods, ghosts, immortals, demons, Buddhas, and demons: ** One, God ** 1. ** Origin and Essence ** - Some of the gods were born naturally, such as the Great God Pangu, who was born in the Chaos. There were also the Water God Gonggong, the Moon God Xihe, and so on. They were born according to the heaven and earth, and had a certain status and mission in the world to maintain the operation of the heaven and earth. - There were also gods of the future, who were people who were conferred to heaven or hell to do things after death (the situation of the ancient gods was different here). 2. ** Ability and status ** - Gods had supernatural power or sacred status. Innate gods had a high status in the mythological system and were closely related to the creation and operation of heaven and earth. ** Two, Ghost ** 1. ** Origin and Essence ** - Ghosts were a type of extremely Yin being. In essence, they were souls that left the mortal body after a person's lifespan was exhausted. - Under normal circumstances, a soul that had left the body could not wander in the human world for a long time because the human world followed the law of the balance of yin and yang. The soul was an existence of extreme yin and could not withstand long-term sunlight. The place suitable for the soul to stay for a long time was the netherworld, which lacked yang qi. - As the balance of Yin and Yang was broken, the pure Yin soul would obtain a weaker ability that ordinary people did not have. It was difficult for ordinary ghosts to affect people. Only ghosts with deep resentment could have a greater impact. 2. ** Character Attributes ** - It had a deep influence on folk customs. In China's mythological system,"ghost words" were on par with "myths" and "immortal words". This was reflected in the customs of the elders celebrating the "Ghost Festival". ** 3.

They were existences that corresponded to immortals among immortals. - In many mythological systems, spirits who failed in cultivation or were banished to the human world could also be regarded as demons. 2. ** Character Attributes ** - In different mythological systems and literary works, demons had various images and abilities. Their actions and words often caused readers to think, and they were often used in literary creation to add mysterious elements to stories. ** V. Buddha ** 1. ** Origin and Essence ** - Buddha referred to cultivators with great wisdom and compassion. They cultivated not the body but the heart. The sariras were the embodiment of the results of cultivation. The body was dispensable to them as long as they had comprehension. - In the Buddhist system, Tathagata was regarded as the master of all Buddhas. He was the source of all Buddhas and the Buddha. - Compared to immortals and fiends, Dao, fiends, and Buddha corresponded to immortals, fiends, and Buddhas respectively. 2. ** Character Attributes ** - In cultural works, Buddha often symbolized positive qualities such as wisdom and compassion. It played a role in guiding and enlightening, and in the story, it might exist as a mysterious and powerful force. ** 6. Demon ** 1. ** Origin and Essence ** - The concept of a devil was rather broad. It didn't matter if it was a human, beast, ghost, god, immortal, or demon, they all had the possibility of becoming a devil. "Qi deviation" meant that one had gone astray and walked on the path of evil in cultivation. - Demons were humans whose souls were affected by evil forces and became cruel and crazy. They were also the cruel and bloodthirsty type of powerful living beings. They could also be cultivators who violated the Great Dao and their actions went against traditional values. 2. ** Character Attributes ** - In myths and other stories, demons were mostly independent, and their behavior was full of the meaning of "anti-government"(here, it meant that they were contrary to traditional values or the right path).
