| Abstract | The Wu 巫 was recognized by Tang's government, but it was denied by the government system in next Sung dynasty 宋· The Wus in Tang's China were classified into three groups-Cl) Wu Shih 巫師 as officials i...n the Tai Pu Shih 太卜署, (2) Wu serving and dancing in rural and urban shrines 社, 祠, 廟, (3) witch or wicca businessing in many cities. Chief functions of the Wu are fortune-telling, prophecy or divination 卜占, medical treatment 治病 and praying for rain 祈雨; but these tasks were also performed by priests of Buddhism & Taoism 僧侶, 道士 numerous diviness 卜者 and physiognomists 相者 etc. Accordingly the distinctive mark of the Wu consists in his methods to pray gods 神 and invite the spisits 魂 in trance or ecstacy. Also he mediates between the dead person and the living man, carries on dialogues with the gods (or the ghosts) as the Japanese Miko-Kuchiyose 口寄, and so shows the shamanistic capacity. This study analyzes many instances of Tang period on the "Tai Ping Kuang Chi" 太平広記.show more |
