“魔女” (wānyǔ) refers to a witch in Chinese culture, often depicted as a woman with magical powers. Traditionally, witches are associated with the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and communicate with spirits. They can be portrayed as either benevolent figures who use their powers for good or malevolent beings who cause harm. In folklore, witches are often linked to nature and the supernatural. They may be seen as guardians of ancient wisdom or as figures of fear and suspicion. The concept of a witch has evolved over time, influenced by various cultural beliefs and practices, including Daoism and Buddhism.
