Exalted sorceress At the dawn of Chinese civilization, it was primarily women who acted as spirit mediums. This was perhaps due to the fact that China was then a matriarchal society. Perhaps, too, it was because women, who are more sensitive and sedate than men, are more in tune with the spirit world.
在中國文明的初期，可能因為是女性掌權的母系社會，再加上女性較為敏感安靜，容易進入附神狀態，因此女性是人類和鬼神世界溝通的主要媒介。
