unfortunately I don't not at a glance...my advice to you with translation though its far more accurate usually with chat GPT, copy and paste the whole text and ask them to translate as I have still back ground./foundation in the chinese language a find that for a subject like this....the translation can go wrong with google translate you can always compare.

welcome , i kinda in and out...great source of reference for english speaking seekers of the dao

Nural, ive seen this site before in my search for knowledge of the chinese occult, dono whether real or not...but it seems from my research there's still a market surprisingly to me after Im this age, my cousin being a Christian describes our chinese relatives as 'superstitious' I thought these kind of practices are long gone. ( kuman tong..and .all kinds of spirits from Thailand, Cambodia Vietname etc ) but there's still a thriving market from all the asian and chinese countries, still owned/managed by Chinese who speak broken English etc....again to my surprise as I would have thought the younger generation Chinese would have gone Christian after being better educated..but there are still apparently occultists who speak good English in SE asia and wordwide.... The thing is i think anyone on holy path should not touch lower arts of engage in lower spirits as whatever they can give u even if true, comes at a price, they are not going to give to you out of generosity, thats the common belief and there is usually a price to pay as commonly believed unless are you are like Ghost King of Penang who claims no karma will come to him, only the person who engages him to do dark magic...and when he dies, he just ceases to even exist...like some kind of convenient dark nirvana lol Chinese/asian magic has some parallels with Western? Dark magic where they say they are not praying or worshipping these spirits, but rather masters of spirits who engage and control them...they don;t believe in karma though as far as i understand..but similar to chinese asian beliefs about luck etc..it seems that they believe every good fortunate or mis fortune that we encounter daily is actually a matter of magic - probably not well explained by me , but in the book i read from Kindle but something along those lines...so magic is very possible to be used ruin or attract good things to someone as far as I understand the theory.

interesting.....i can read some chinese but traditional Chinese characters pose more of a problem along with the harder terms. where are you going with this?, You speak and read/write chinese too Nural ?

Nural, what sort of initiation did you go through that caused you to have problem with spirits? I don't have any personal encounters but do have some stories/indirect experiences from youth indirectly about the use of "keeping/feeding baby spirits" as they say in chinese by some relatives....and coincidentally decades later Ive learnt of the same types of teachings or theories of what can go wrong with this practice by watching some of the interviews from Supernatural Confessions along with Thailand X Files a Chinese channel dedicated to interviews of every Thai Magic master including the dark arts... and a doctor friend ( chinese malaysian ) had some really bad encounter with a haunted house years ago,,,,fortunately she resolved it with a Deity's help through Tang Ki ( mediumship ) in Singapore....let me know more about it if you are interested. looks like you and I are going to get along with discussion

Nural, Hi Bro, after a long hiatus again im in the forum again looking at your activity I found it interesting that you have found exactly the same channel that I luv bro...Im surprised that you are quite exposed to this kind of thing yes the black magicians interviewed ? god knows why for fame? are kinda controversial, if you Google the "Spirtual Hitman" thai name whatever that is in you will find some unflattering ( again who knows whether true ) article of him from thai newspapers as cult leader or something , good food for thought. Unfortunately Eugene Tay? of the channel removed by comment when all I was ask to confirm if that was him? Even Ajahn Nehn has some unflattering article about him , If I recall correctly its about some sex black mail case, I cannot recall the exact story now... Ive no idea how making a pact with the demon or /and inverting a buddha statue etc helps with helping people? along with Penang Ghost King's claims that he saved someone from dying because he took pity on a mom who did not have money to pay , and helping wondering homeless spirits as in the Chinese culture...side by side with doing anything including killing for money. I actually emailed you a couple of days ago, got my email?
