19.51

In the Zuozhuan, during the second year of Duke Zhao, Zichan replied to Zhao Jingzi, saying: 'When a human being is born, transformation [begins] with what is called the po. Once the po is born, its yang aspect is called the hun. When one uses things of fine quality abundantly, the hun and po become strong. Because of this, one has essence and brilliance extending to divine clarity. Even an ordinary man or woman who dies a violent death may have their hun and po attach themselves to human beings to act as an unbridled demon; how much more so Liangxiao!'
