摘要
中国古代民间有虎伥传说,认为人被虎食后会化为伥鬼替虎作孽。虎伥故事起源于六朝时期,它与自汉代至六朝流传的人化虎故事有密切的关系。人化虎故事来源于上古西南地区的虎神信仰,当时的人们认为人被虎吃掉后可以与虎结合,复生为虎。随着虎神信仰的消亡,与虎神有关的传说逐渐转化为人化虎的奇异故事,最终又演化成为虎伥故事。
In ancient China, it was said people eaten by tiger would become a reckless ghost. This story originated in the Six Dynasties period, closely related to another story where a person became a tiger in the Han Dynasty which framed the faith of tiger god spread in South China.
