Cry Chu songs, call the soul.
Speaking of exclamations, I think of the description of Chu people's evocation of strangers in Songs of the South (with the translation of Chen Zizhan's Direct Interpretation of Songs of the South for comparison and interpretation):

Soul return, (soul return,)

Enter the repair door. (Enter the repair door in Du Ying. )

Workers want to recruit the king, (officials want to recruit the king too much,)

Recite first. Turn your back and go first. )

Qin Gou, (Qin Bamboo Cage, Qi Silk Production,)

Zheng Mian, Internet. (Zheng people sew clothes. )

Equipment should be ready, (these evocation props are complete,)

Shout in a low voice. A long whistle and a loud shout. )

Soul return, (soul return,)

Go back to my hometown. )

The shouts in Huizhou are similar. As far as props are concerned, baskets have replaced bamboo baskets; Hemp silk is also used, but it is usually not wrapped around the wrists of sick children, but tied with a "silk wool card" and hung on the door to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Clothes are just as necessary. Song Xiang once wrote "Yulan Ci" to record the scene of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods in Huizhou on the night of July 14: "Ghosts and gods do not pity people, and the night of Yulan Congress is like water. Cut the clothes, cut the paper, and the wax tears flow back to the air. " This "hanging clothes on a pole" is the "clothes on it" contained in the ancient "ceremony". Of course, that was during the reign of Long Jiaqing. When I was a child, all the clothes I saw were hung on the eaves, put in baskets, or simply held by a witch. What has not changed is the underwear that clothes must be worn by patients. It is said that the soul will come back when it hears his name and smells the sweat of his clothes. Will shout in places where sick children are afraid. If the reason is unknown, it will be near the door of the house or near the street, because that is where children often go in and out.

"You should prepare your equipment", and then you should "whistle", which is what the Book of Rites calls "high". In Huizhou dialect, "borrowing from a high number and sounding long" (Notes on Huang Kan's Ci) means "calling" and calling it "returning to the soul".
