When a man is born, he is transformed into a corporeal being, which we call po. Possessing a body, he thus also is endowed with vitality, his yang spirit. Those who command great property and occupy high station are strong both in body and spirit. For this reason [upon their deaths] their pure and sublime qi will attain manifest spirithood. If men and women of vulgar station die violent deaths, their somatic [po] and psychic [hun]souls are capable of possessing the living and causing grievous harm. How much more so is this true of Liangxiao [i.e., Boyou], descendant of our former ruler Lord Ma, grandson of Ziling, son of Zi’er, all nobles of our state,who have served as ministers for three successive generations!

Что это означает? Мерещится мне, что это что-то типа "независимого существования", но по-хорошему не могу расшифровать.
