What kind of experience is it for Shanghainese to drift north?

The next day, when I opened the page, I found that the one who got the highest number of likes was not me, but another reply after me. The ID was Pinghu Qiuyue, and the profile was a worker from the Forbidden City in Beijing.He wrote:

Thank you.

Before answering this question, I would like to explain one thing. I have worked in the Forbidden City in Beijing for more than 5 years, but there are still many people who misunderstand it. People who study cultural relics or archaeologists also know the magic of feng shui to ward off evil spirits. It needs to be explained that this thinking is wrong.

For example, a classmate of my cousin bought a house in Beijing some time ago, but some strange things happened at home. Hearing that my cousin said that I was engaged in cultural relics work, she insisted on dragging me to their house to see Feng Shui.To be honest, I know almost nothing about Feng Shui, but for the sake of my cousin, I had to take a trip.

The cousin's friend, that is, the owner of the house, is called Miss A.Their family was originally not in Beijing. They were upstarts in real estate in other provinces. Their son went to university in Beijing and wanted to settle down in this city.However, not long after the renovation was completed, my cousin's son, Xiaosun, was too scared to live anymore.

Xiao Sun lives alone in this house.One night, when Xiao Sun fell asleep, he seemed to hear footsteps in the living room outside the room. At first he thought it was the sound from upstairs, so he didn't pay much attention.

But when he got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, half a human head was reflected in the corner of the mirror on the table. The head was motionless and very stiff.At this moment, he suddenly realized that the figure could not be himself, because the angle was wrong.A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiao Sun's body. Looking carefully, the little half of the head turned out to be covered with long hair!Xiao Sun was so frightened that he lost all sleepiness and spent the night wrapped in a quilt in the bathroom.

When I first heard his story, I thought it was just a psychological effect.Looking around in his bedroom, I noticed a large floor-standing electric fan. At a suitable angle, the electric fan can be reflected in the mirror on the table. After turning off the light, there is a black shadow in the shape of a human head. The Chlorophytum hanging on the top also resembles hair.After I said this idea, Xiao Sun seemed to agree with my point of view. Because of nervousness, he mistakenly regarded the electric fan as a human figure, and moved the electric fan out of the room at that time.

The matter was not over yet, and the next day I received a call from Miss A again.She said that Xiao Sun heard footsteps in the living room again that night, and also found that a pot of plants in their house was fine the day before, but a corner of the flower pot suddenly broke.He even went to visit the upstairs, but found that there was no one living there at all, and the sound could not have come from upstairs.

So I took the time to go to their house again on the weekend, and Xiaosun also temporarily moved back to the dormitory for a few days.

This time, I not only looked at Xiaosun's room, but also checked other parts of the house, and finally found a small porcelain bowl in the top shelf of a cabinet close to the ceiling in the kitchen.The cabinet itself is not used to hold things, but is specially used to hide the sewer pipes protruding from the wall. Whether it is for decoration or storage, it seems very strange to put a bowl here.

According to Xiao Sun and Ms. A, they did not put this bowl, and he has never seen it before. I don't know when it was there.After Xiao Sun took out the bowl, there was only a transparent sheet about one square centimeter in size in the bowl, which was stained with dried dark red liquid.Like a piece of plastic, but harder than that.

When I saw it, I had an intuition that it was a piece of human nails.

I took out the hard disk and asked Xiao Sun if he had any conflicts with anyone during the renovation. He said that he remembered a neighbor who came to complain that the sound of the renovation was too loud, which affected her rest.I asked the other party if he had ever entered your house. He nodded hesitantly and then shook his head, saying that he didn't seem to have.

I told him that it might be a kind of "carpenter's dislike (ya) victory", which is a kind of ancient spell, similar to the so-called head-down technique, which has been mentioned in "Shuo Yu Xu" and "Bian Min Tu Zhuan" recorded.

There is a deep-rooted "animism" in the consciousness of the ancients.This kind of ancient witchcraft has no rules to be found. It usually hides some evil items in the house, such as puppets, coffins, and hair, to achieve the purpose of cursing or disturbing the life of the house owner.Folks have a feng shui habit. When a carpenter is invited to build a house, they will often treat them with hospitality and dare not offend them, lest the other party retaliate secretly, causing the owner to lose money and suffer disaster.Carpentry was once popular in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang summoned thousands of people to build Fengyang, the work suddenly stopped halfway because he found a carpenter who was tired of winning.

After that, I suggested that he throw away the bowl and the hard piece and change the lock. Since Xiaosun changed the lock, Miss A never called me again.

As for whether the strange footsteps and broken vases in their house were caused by ghosts, I actually don't really believe it.I am more inclined to be a man-made prank, and the hard piece in the bowl may be nothing.

As far as this issue is concerned, I think modern people should rarely have the opportunity to encounter similar things. Compared with carpentry, the chances of hidden cameras in hotel rooms are definitely much higher.The ancients worshiped ghosts and gods largely due to the lack of scientific and technological knowledge.There are many supernatural phenomena in the world that can be explained by science. In most cases, it is a psychological effect. When you don't know the other person, you will have a kind of unknown fear. It won't feel so scary anymore.

……

Seeing this, I don't want to say what his content is, just because this guy brags about his profession, I don't bother to watch it, working in the Forbidden City?Who wouldn't know how to give yourself a high-ranking title? I don't believe that real experts in cultural relics will answer this kind of question.But... Well, I admit that the one he made up is indeed more attractive than mine, and he even made academic cheats.

I couldn't help but click on his homepage to browse, and found that he often answered questions related to cultural relics and history, as well as some strange questions that seemed familiar... No wonder, I seemed to have answered those questions before.Looking again, this person actually paid attention to me.

Out of curiosity, I sent him a private message: Hello, your answer is really good. Are you really a staff member of the Forbidden City in Beijing?

Not long after, he replied to me: Good evening, your writing is also great.Yes, how about you?

Very formulaic wording.

I can't help but wonder, most of the questions I will be invited to answer are of the kind, which one is more cost-effective, surfaxepro2 or maxbook, what should I do if windous11 always restarts with a blue screen, and so on.It stands to reason that he is engaged in cultural relics, and I study IT. There is almost no overlap between our majors. Why is he paying attention to me?

I thought maybe I was a strange fruit fan... But I didn't intend to tell a stranger the truth about myself, so I replied casually: I haven't officially worked yet, and I'm doing an internship in a Fortune 500 company.

He replied: Very powerful.Do you have a blog?Want to follow you.

Since he asked, I sent him my WEB ID out of politeness. Usually, I seldom play WEB, and basically only retweet it occasionally.I also saw his blog, and he also posted a lot, most of which were science popularization and introduction of cultural relics. I was a little surprised that his posting location was really near the third ring road in Beijing, and sometimes even the Forbidden City ...Although the positioning can be forged now, but in order to pretend to be B, I don't think it is necessary to package myself in every detail.

Looking up, I saw that Xiao Wang, who was supposed to go for an interview, hadn't left the house yet, and was burying his face in the quilt in frustration, saying that his resume sent to a company in Beijing had been rejected again.
