It’s “觀落陰”, i.e. “Observing the Departed Spirits.” It refers to a supernatural phenomenon and practice rooted in Chinese folk beliefs and rituals. It involves the concept of a person’s soul or spirit temporarily leaving their physical body and embarking on a journey to the underworld or afterlife, guided by a practitioner known as “觀音” (Guanyin) in this context. This practice is not part of mainstream religious traditions like Taoism but is rather a folk belief system. The purpose of “觀落陰” can vary, including searching for lost souls, communicating with ancestral spirits, seeking inspiration, or gaining insights into the future. (According to ChatGPT.)
