In recent years,various “immortal ghosts” films and television shows have appeared one after another.It can be seen that it is not an era when the monsters have been heard and changed.The monsters have become popular and entertaining,and people have more imaginative images of monsters.On the contrary,in traditional rural villages,the people's imagination of “monsters” seems to be different from the monster images in film and television works.They also have a fear of “monsters”.Just as people believe in various gods,the “monster” is also an indispensable part of people's spiritual world and has a significant influence on people's daily lives.In rural villages in Yingxian County,Shanxi Province,there is a mysterious phenomenon that is “Following Fox”.This is not only pleasant but also fearful to the local people.What is behind this is the result of the problems of interpersonal relationships,family ethics and ethics in the daily life of local rural communities,and it is also the problem of spiritual depression and rebound in the witchcraft operations of the villagers.The villagers live a kind of bland life while still living a mysterious life.The purpose of the dissertation is to explore the mystery through plainness and absurdity.The paper is divided into six parts.The first part is the introduction part,which mainly introduces the origin of the selected topic,the meaning of the purpose,the related domestic and foreign research review,the research methods used and the theoretical basis of the research,as well as the innovation and inadequacies of thesis writing.The first chapter of the thesis mainly introduces the biology and culture of foxes.First of all,it summarizes the existence of fox as a living creature in the natural environment,and introduces its distribution and ecological habits.Secondly,it mainly expounds the existence of fox as a cultural issue.In life,we talk about foxes.Apart from the biology profession,more discussion is centered on the culture of foxes,especially the existence of foxes as a kind of monster.Therefore,this section also focuses on the two sides of the fox,that is,as a beast and as a monster.The second chapter of the thesis focuses on cultivating the “fox” in terms of daily life in rural areas(including material life,age-old activities,and witchcraft divination)and the humane relationship in rural society(family ethics and social relations).The liveliness of the folk phenomenon is clearly traced,and the possible context and cultural background of “Following Fox” are explained.The third chapter of the thesis,mainly based on the field survey data,uses the local ordinary people and Mr.Fox to view the “Following Fox” from two different perspectives,to describe the phenomenon of “Following Fox”,so that the following texts can be analyzed and explained.The fourth chapter of the thesis mainly analyzes the reason of "Following Fox" from evil witchcraft operation,destiny,"blessing",and traditional taboo,and analyzes and explains the “Following Fox” phenomenon,thus summing up the life of rural people.The world analyzes the intrinsic relationship between the phenomenon of “Following Fox” and the life of the local people.The epilogue part of the paper focuses on the dissertation is the "self-awareness" of individuals in society in the imagination of “Following Fox”.
