Ancient Ba Shu witchcraft
The witchcraft of ancient Ba Shu had a profound cultural background and was reflected in many aspects. According to the archaeological discoveries, in the Luojiaba site, archaeologists excavated more than ten tortoiseshells from the Eastern Zhou tombs more than 2000 years ago. These tortoiseshells had divination traces, such as rectangular holes. They also found antlers and other cultural relics related to divination and witchcraft. Moreover, the tombs were of a higher grade and there were many burial objects, which provided physical evidence for the Ba people's custom of "worshiping witchcraft". In terms of culture and art, the bronze ware in Bashu area was highly skilled in making, with unique shapes and exquisite patterns, which might be related to witchcraft culture. For example, the bronze statues, masks, and other sacrificial vessels unearthed from the Sanxing Dui Sacrificial Pit, and the earth platform of Yangzi Mountain in the northern suburbs of Chengdu was confirmed to be the spiritual platform for the rulers to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth at that time. All these indicated that there was a civilization full of witchcraft temperament in the Bashu area. In terms of religious beliefs, the Ghost Way was a popular witchcraft of the Diqiang in the Bashu area. Its worship of the three eyes and the three officials, the pursuit of immortality, and the primitive witchcraft of exorcism were absorbed by Zhang Ling and Zhang Xiu's Five Buckets of Rice Way, which constituted the central belief of early Taoism. The Five Buckets of Rice Way, which mainly used talismans, also had a strong witchcraft color, which was closely related to the witchcraft that was popular among the ethnic minorities in the Bashu area. In addition, in the case of low productivity and backward culture in ancient society, witchcraft was the main means of communication between heaven and man in Bashu area.

Witchcraft in Ba Shu
According to historical records, the Ba people "worshipped witchcraft". Tortoiseshells and antlers were found in the tombs of the Ba nobles, which indicated that witchcraft might be more popular among the Ba nobles. The symbols of Ba and Shu might be symbols of religion, witchcraft, and totem, and their functions were similar to the clan emblem in the inscriptions of Yin and Zhou bronzes. Ghost Taoism was a popular witchcraft of Di and Qiang in the Ba and Shu regions. It worshipped the three eyes and three officials, pursued the immortal tradition of immortality, and the primitive witchcraft of exorcism and demon-subduing was later absorbed by Zhang Ling and Zhang Xiu's Five Buckets of Rice Taoism, which constituted the central belief of early Taoism. In the mystery novel Ghost Blows Out the Light: Gu Tomb of Ba Shu, it also involved the plot of the thousand-year-old emperor's tomb that was full of Gu poison witchcraft.

Ancient Shu Witchcraft
The sorcery of the ancient Shu Kingdom had the following characteristics: ** 1. Sorcery Type and Usage Level ** 1. ** Divination and Sympathy Sorcery - The ancient Shu people generally used oracle bone divination, but the core ruling group did not use oracle bone divination. Instead, they used grand sympathetic witchcraft through rituals. Most of the oracle bones used for divination in Chengdu were unearthed from general sites, and the drilling patterns were somewhat random, which indicated that oracle bone divination was mainly popular among the general public. Ordinary people could use oracle bone divination to connect with gods, order their own positions, and make their own sacrifices. This was a major difference from the situation in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties where oracle bone divination was completely controlled by the royal family and the wizards of the government. - The upper class of the Shu Kingdom used the witchcraft ceremony held by the large-scale ceremonial center to achieve the exchange with the gods. The King of Shu himself was the leader of the group of witches and was a great witch. The golden staff unearthed from the Sanxing Dui, engraved with human heads and bird and fish patterns that could ascend to the sky and dive into the abyss, was the divine staff, also known as the staff. It was a tool used by the King of Shu to directly communicate with the gods through sympathetic witchcraft. 2. ** Shamanism possible ** - Some people believed that shamans existed in the ancient Shu Kingdom. Shamans (wizards) used the anesthetic effect of alcohol to make themselves enter a state of unconsciousness, thus achieving communication with the gods. ** 2. Archeological evidence related to witchcraft ** 1. ** Sacrificial supplies reflect witchcraft culture ** - Bronze statues, masks, and other sacrificial vessels were unearthed from the sacrificial pit of Sanxing Dui. The earth platform of Yangzi Mountain in the northern suburbs of Chengdu was proved to be the spiritual platform used by the rulers at that time to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth. These evidence showed that there was a civilization full of witchcraft temperament in the land of Bashu. These cultural relics were the keys to lead people into the world of witch god. 2. ** The connection between the golden staff and witchcraft ** - The golden staff unearthed from the Sanxing Dui was a tool used by the King of Shu to practice sympathetic witchcraft. It was engraved with human heads and bird and fish patterns that could ascend to the sky and dive into the abyss. ** 3. The relationship between witchcraft and ancient Shu society ** 1. ** Reflects the structure of social governance ** - The difference in the use of witchcraft in different classes of the ancient Shu Kingdom reflected the special control of the social structure and the ruling class over religion and the communication between gods. The ruling class used special witchcraft rituals to show their dominance and the privilege of communicating with the gods, while the ordinary people used the relatively common oracle bone divination. 2. ** Reflects the culture of society ** - The ancient Shu people respected witchcraft and often held large-scale sacrificial activities. The importance of witchcraft in the ancient Shu culture could be seen from the many cultural relics unearthed from the Sanxing Dui site, such as bronze products and gold ware. These cultural relics also reflected the exquisite craftsmanship at that time, such as gold processing technology, bronze smelting and casting technology, which may also be related to the production of sacrifices in witchcraft activities. 3. ** Witchcraft and Religious Inheritance ** - In the historical documents of the Han and Jin Dynasties, the witchcraft religion known as the "Ghost Way"(also known as "Ghost Witch") was popular in the Ba and Shu regions. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Li Te, the founder of the Chenghan regime, was a member of the Bo people who believed in this "Ghost Way" closely related to the Ba and Shu witchcraft religion. This indicated that the witchcraft culture of the ancient Shu Kingdom had been passed down to a certain extent, which had a profound impact on the religious culture of the later Ba and Shu regions.

Taoism in Ba and Shu
The Taoism of Ba Shu had rich content and historical background. From the Taoist inscriptions, the Collection of Taoist Inscriptions in Bashu collected inscriptions related to Taoism from the Later Han Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty and even a few of the Republic of China, which reflected the long-term inheritance and development of Taoism in Bashu. In terms of historical regime, the Chenghan regime was closely related to the Taoism of Bashu. Cheng Han was founded by Li Te, the leader of the Ba Di tribe, and his descendants. At that time, the leaders of the refugees, Li Te, Li Xiong, and their subordinates were mostly believers of the Celestial Master Sect. After Li Xiong proclaimed himself emperor, he worshiped Taoist leader Fan Changsheng as prime minister and respected him as "Fan Xian". He also added the title "Grand Master of Heaven and Earth" and handed over the power of governing the country to him. Cheng Han became the first regime in China history to use Taoism as the "national religion". He governed the country with the concept of "inaction", reducing taxes and reducing punishments. He was successful. The Taoist Master Sect also laid a solid foundation under Fan Changsheng's management. At that time, some temples began to be built. Until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Taoism still had a wide influence in the Bashu region. From the perspective of regional culture, Taoism, which was borrowed by Zhang Daoling, promoted the spread of Taoism in Bashu area. The Bashu region was influenced by the witch culture and had the existence of the "Ghost Dao". Zhang Daoling used this as a reference to create Taoism. Although the geographical location of Bashu was relatively isolated, it also provided a good environment for the breeding and development of Taoism. Its isolation made it difficult for cultural transmission to be distorted. Moreover, Lao Tzu's idea of "people will not interact with each other until they die" was close to the atmosphere of Bashu. In addition, Li Bing's water control project created Dujiangyan, which made the agriculture of Bashu developed and laid the material foundation for the development of Taoism. In terms of Taoist architecture, Yuntai Temple was the second largest Taoist resort in Bashu area. In the second year of Kaixi of Southern Song Dynasty, Taoist Zhao Xiao 'an entered the mountain. Later, after the construction, reconstruction, expansion and cultivation of many dynasties, it became the second famous Taoist mountain in Sichuan and a famous temple in Sichuan in the 15th year of Guangxu of Qing Dynasty. There were many existing buildings, including bronze bells, bronze tripods and other objects from Wanli of Ming Dynasty. The scenery was beautiful. In the aspect of folk culture, Wenchang Ancestral Court Door God New Year Painting originated from the Door God Talisman of ancient Bashu Taoism, and the Talisman originated from the belief of the Door God in the belief of ghosts and immortals of the ancestors in Bashu area. From "hanging reed rope, snail" to "divine tea, Yu Lei", it evolved into human form, reflecting the influence of Taoism on folk culture.

Ancient witchcraft
In ancient times, witchcraft had different forms and meanings in different regions and cultures. In China, the development of witchcraft had gone through many stages. Witchcraft was prevalent during the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Witches were regarded as the emissaries of the gods. They had great power during the Shang Dynasty. It even developed to the point where the witch was the king and the king was the emissary of the gods. It became a political ruling tool. As people's understanding of the natural world increased during the Qin and Han Dynasties, this pattern was broken. In the Han Dynasty, the court began to oppose witchcraft. Most of the China governments had issued laws against witchcraft, such as the Qing Dynasty's Great Qing Law, which banned the practice of witchcraft. From a cultural perspective, witchcraft culture had two categories: philosophy and technology. Witchcraft belonged to the technical level. The purpose of ancient witchcraft included controlling the external environment and the world of ghosts and spirits to achieve good fortune, increase production, pray for blessings, and eliminate disasters. According to historical records, the Miao people had the art of voodoo. They made voodoo by letting poisonous insects fight each other until only one was left. Different voodoo had different effects, such as controlling the behavior and thoughts of others, harming others, etc., but this lacked scientific basis. In the West, opposing witchcraft was also a major event. In the 100 to 200 years after the Renaissance, many European countries executed witches. In general, with the advancement of history and the development of science and technology, many mysterious phenomena that were thought to be related to witchcraft in the past could now be explained by science. Ancient witchcraft had lost most of its survival space in modern times.

Ancient Witchcraft
In ancient times,"witch" was a profession that specialized in prayer and divination. There were three main sources: one was the descendants of Wu Peng, who was said to have treated people during the Yellow Emperor's time and was regarded as the ancestor of the Wu surname; the second was the descendants of Wu Xian; and the third was the occupation and skill as the surname. In ancient China, witchcraft culture had a long history. It had been formed as early as the ancient tribal period, and Taoism partially inherited the ancient witchcraft culture. Wizards were considered to be people who could communicate with heaven and earth and possessed great wisdom. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, Chiyou, and Shennong were regarded as "Great Wizards". Wizards were also the leaders of their clans. In terms of sacrificial rites, in the early days of ancient times, when there were no spells or spells, the primitive sacrificial rites were performed by the shamans of the clan to communicate with the gods in the form of dance to pray for good weather and so on. This kind of shaman dance sacrificial custom was inherited through the generations, such as the Nine Songs of the Chu State. From the perspective of region and organization, the Classic of Mountains and Seas recorded the Wuxian Kingdom, which scholars believed was a country organized by wizards. Among them, the Ten Sorcerers of Mount Lingshan (Wuxian, Wuji, Wuyi, Wupeng, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudi, Wuxie, and Wuluo) gathered in Mount Lingshan. After they migrated to various places, they reproduced the Wu tribe members with different surnames. In terms of social functions, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties all worshipped ghosts and gods. In ancient times, people lacked a deep understanding of natural disasters and diseases, believing that they were caused by gods. The wizards who presided over the sacrifices were knowledgeable people in the country. They knew the changes of the Heavenly Dao and the weather, especially the seasons, seasons, and rainfall. They could pray for good weather through sacrifices. They were proficient in astronomy and calendar, and some were good at medicine and arithmetic. They could cure serious diseases and divine good or bad luck. They were equivalent to the elites of modern society. In addition,"witchcraft" was considered to be the prototype of the intellectual and the main creator of the ancient spiritual culture. The ancient wizards were the hosts of witchcraft and witchcraft activities, the keepers, communicators and organizers of ancient scientific and cultural knowledge, and also the privileged class who mastered advanced production technology and cultural knowledge. The witchcraft culture was the source of various religious cultures in the world. It was very important to many aspects of Chinese traditional culture, such as religion, music and dance, astronomy, geography, calendar, military, opera, literature, Medicine, skills, and so on all played a role that could not be ignored.

Ancient China Witchcraft
In ancient China, witchcraft was a general term for those who served ghosts and gods and those who offered praises to the Lord. Later, it was used to predict the people who offered sacrifices. It was the origin of historians. The earliest historians could be traced back to the ancient Zhuanxu period. At that time, Nan Zhengzhong was in charge of the sky and was responsible for observing the laws of the sun's movement to formulate the calendar. Huo Zhengli was in charge of the affairs on the ground. During the Tang and Yu Dynasties, Xihe was in charge of the calendar and observed the astronomical phenomena. These people were regarded as the earliest historians. The task of the earliest historians was to observe the astronomical phenomena instead of recording history in the traditional sense. This situation continued in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. In ancient times, witchcraft was an official position. For example, in the Rites of Zhou, the witches related to witchcraft (also known as witchcraft, witchcraft, witchcraft) were one of the official positions in charge of etiquette and ceremonies. They could use dance to descend to the gods, communicate with the gods, and offer sacrifices to the country, mountains, and rivers. They were mainly responsible for exorcism, cleansing, praying for rain, praying for good weather, and other matters. The officials in charge of the witches were called shamans. They led the witches to sacrifice or pray for rain. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were many witches and they were scattered all over the country. They were led by Si Wu and served as sergeants. In the Han Dynasty, Taichang Temple was set up to manage witches. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were eight professional witches in Taichang Temple, which was under the jurisdiction of Taipu. In a broad sense, wizards are divided into men and women. Men are called wizards, and women are called wizards. In ancient times, shamans had a wide range of functions. Not only were they responsible for observing the weather, but they also took on the role of doctors and could make drums. They had mastered many skills and played an important role in the spread and preservation of cultural knowledge. In ancient China, witchcraft was rationally turned into a complex ritual system, forming different traditions between the folk and the temple. Through "doing everything in the world and listening to the will of heaven", it maintained a stable relationship between the community and seized the initiative for the clan in "sacrifice and war", thus forming the ideology of ethics, politics, and religion. However, there was also a bad phenomenon like what Jin Gehong said,"The shamans are villains and talk nonsense about evil."

Ancient Witchcraft Talisman
Based on context alone Wuzu was an ancient professional who was engaged in communicating with ghosts and gods, while talismans were a form of magic in Taoism. However, there was a certain origin and connection between the ancient Wuzu culture and Taoist talismans. Ancient Wuzu's talismans might have many characteristics. From a formal point of view, it might be a simple combination of patterns or symbols with special symbolic meaning. These symbols might have originated from the abstractions of natural phenomena (such as the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, etc.), or a concrete expression of mysterious power. For example, symbols that imitate the shape of lightning might be considered powerful because lightning was an extremely mysterious and powerful natural phenomenon in the minds of ancient people. In terms of function, the talismans of the ancient witches were mainly used for activities such as offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, and exorcism. In the sacrificial ceremony, the talisman could be the medium to communicate with the gods. Wuzu could send messages to the gods or pray for their blessings by drawing specific talismans. In terms of exorcism, talismans could be considered to have the power to expel evil spirits and eliminate disasters. They might be pasted on residences, places of worship, or worn on the body for protection. However, since the ancient times were very far away from the modern times, there were no complete and conclusive records of many specific details about the witchcraft charms. Most of them were based on the interpretation of ancient documents, the relevant symbols found in archaeology, and folk legends.
