Do Guizhou people know voodoo?
Gu was a kind of witchcraft inherited from the ancient Miao people in the southwest. There might be traditional cultural inheritance related to Gu in Guizhou, but in modern society, Gu was more regarded as superstitious content, and its supernatural ability had not been confirmed by science. Although there were some legends about Guizhou voodoo, such as the existence of a voodoo town in some novels or stories about local culture, where the voodoo master used ancient secret techniques to make poisonous insects and poisonous grass into voodoo to protect the elderly and children in the town, most of these were folk legends and cultural creations. It did not mean that modern Guizhou people generally knew voodoo. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Is there a voodoo in Guizhou Miao Village?
There might be a saying that Gu was used in Miao villages in Guizhou, but this statement lacked scientific basis. Some people believed that the Miao tribe's voodoo was real, but it was not as exaggerated and terrifying as the rumors in novels and television. In modern society, even if there was a phenomenon of voodoo, it was extremely rare. For example, some tour guides said that there were basically no people who knew how to use voodoo. Even if there were, it might be an old lady in an undeveloped deep forest. With the development of society, the Miao tribe's voodoo techniques were gradually lost, and there were very few people who knew how to use voodoo, so there was no need to worry too much.

The Voodoo of the Miao People
Can voodoo control people
According to legend, Gu Masters could use special spells, talismans, or herbs to manipulate the power of nature, expel evil spirits, or impose curses on people. The leader of the Miao stockade village could make the Miao soldiers listen to his words by placing Gu on the Miao people. A woman could make her lover loyal to her for life by placing Gu on him. If she placed Gu on an enemy, she could make him suffer from the pain of hundreds of insects and eventually die. However, in modern times, voodoo was widely regarded as superstition and witchcraft. It was not recognized by science and mainstream religion. There was no scientific evidence that it could really control people.

A voodoo that makes people obedient
In the legends of voodoo, there were voodoo spells such as love voodoo. For example, a Miao girl would use her "heart blood" or "menstrual blood" to feed voodoo worms to make love voodoo. She would put it on her lover's food, clothing, or things that she had touched, and her lover would be tempted by her. However, most of these voodoo techniques existed in legends, folktales, and some literary works. Modern society regarded voodoo techniques as superstitions and sorcery, which were not recognized by science. There was no scientific basis to prove that voodoo techniques could really make people obedient. Some of the so-called 'supernatural effects' that could be achieved by voodoo, such as confusing people, were speculated to be due to factors such as neurotoxins and parasites, but this could not be equated to a mysterious power that could make people obedient.

A villager in Guizhou rescued 4 people
At about 9:30 on December 2, a boat capsized on the Pingzheng River in Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. There were 13 people on board, 8 of whom died and 5 were rescued. A nearby villager surnamed Liang (the owner of a local grocery store) heard the cry for help from the river bank 100 meters away and ran to rescue him. He saw a wooden boat with its bottom facing up. Five people were floating on the water and shouting for help. The rest of the people on the boat were nowhere to be seen. Among the five people rescued, there were three men and two women. Among them, the young man who drove the boat could swim, while the other four could not swim and were about 40 or 50 years old. Mr. Liang rowed the boat twice to save four people. When he pulled a female elder ashore, the other party's face was so pale that she could not speak. Half an hour later, all five of them went ashore. Mr. Liang estimated that the boat was about five meters deep and about three or four meters away from the shore. The temperature was low that day, and the water temperature of the river was also low. After he rescued the people ashore, he started a fire on the shore to warm the rescued villagers and changed them into his and his wife's dry clothes. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.

Witchcraft of the Miao people in Guizhou
The witchcraft of the Miao people in Guizhou Province contains many forms and has profound ethnic cultural implications. One of them was a witchcraft ritual called the Ten Protection Talisman. The Miao family believed that when a person was unwell, had a loss of appetite, was weak, and lacked energy, the living soul would be captured and imprisoned by the Mountain Goat Cave Master. The sorcerer had to hold this ritual and use the power of the ten soul protectors to redeem the living soul from the Mountain Goat Cave Master and return it safely to the patient's body. There was also a witchcraft ritual to prevent disaster, such as beating a dry gong. It was said that it could save people from the impending disaster. Miao witchcraft also involved gu techniques. Gu were divided into many types, such as toad Gu, ant Gu, water Gu, roundworm Gu, sparrow Gu, centipede Gu, love Gu, and so on. Gu was considered a mysterious skill. Some people believed that Gu was a poisonous insect that was artificially cultivated, while others believed that it was a mysterious poisonous insect that was naturally produced. The Miao people's gu poison was passed on to women, not men. The people who released the gu poison were mainly women, and the target of the poison could be both men and women. However, the Miao tribe's voodoo techniques were not as exaggerated and terrifying as the legends said, and they lacked scientific basis. As society developed, they were gradually lost, and there were fewer and fewer people who knew how to use voodoo. During the historical development of the Miao people, due to the continuous migration of their ancestors, they were able to preserve the relatively ancient ethnic heritage, including these ancient witchcraft customs.

The consequences of using voodoo to control people
From the information given, the use of voodoo to control people mostly existed in folklore. In the legends, if one used voodoo to control a person, the person who used the voodoo might also have a bad ending. For example, if the voodoo woman did not release the voodoo every three years, she would suffer from "voodoo madness" and be poisoned by the voodoo poisonous insects until she died. People who were controlled by voodoo often ended up in miserable situations. Some legends mentioned that some people had maggots in their stomachs and died of illness. Some people had splitting headaches and their skulls were taken off when they combed their hair when they died, and their brains were eaten by ants. However, these were mostly folk legends without scientific basis. Modern scientific research had shown that the so-called voodoo might not be as toxic as the legends said. For example, the voodoo powder was not toxic after being tested by professional laboratories. In short, the so-called fate of controlling people with voodoo was more of a horror plot in folklore, and there was no conclusive scientific evidence to prove it.
