動詞
一種道教儀式，又叫收驚、呼魂，用於招喚生人魂魄。傳統認為人受驚嚇而表現呆滯或不斷哭喊呼叫，係因部份魂魄離開咗身體，以唸咒、符咒、撒米及呼叫事主名字等方法，以將魂魄招回。 A Taoist ritual, also called "retreat the fear" or "call the soul", is a way to call back the soul and spirit of a living human. Old tradition believes when someone was frightened to look absent or keep crying and shouting, is because of part of the soul and spirit have left the body, to use spells, charms, spreading rice and calling the name of the person, can call back the soul. Literally: shout the fear
