世界妖怪文化探索——木魅

木魅也被称之为木灵（霊）、木魂、树魅

Wood Enchantment also known as Kodama\Wooden soul\Tree Spirit

是传说中寄宿在树木里的精灵

It's the fairy who lives in the trees

外表与普通的大树没有区别

There is no difference in appearance from ordinary trees

当然啦，那也不是每棵树里都有木魅的

Of course, It's not every tree that has a Wood Enchantment

传说在非常古老的森林里

It's said that in the very old forest

经历长年岁月的大树

A tree that has gone through many years

才会有木魅的存在（长期修炼的结果？？）

There will be a Wood Enchantment(The result of long-term cultivation??)

另外，据《图解日本妖怪大全》一书里记载

in addition, According to the book

木魅单单是指树的灵魂

Wood Enchantment refers to the soul of a tree

一般人是看不出来的

Ordinary people can't see it

八丈岛的深山中就有这样的大树

There are such big trees in the deep mountains of Hachijo Island

它高耸入云，苍老的已经看不出树龄

It soars into the clouds. The old can't see the age of the tree

但不管是民间传说，还是书本记载

But whether it's folklore or book records

只要打算把有木魅存在的树弄伤或是推到

As long as you want to hurt or push a tree with a Wood Enchantment

不仅仅是主要相关的这个人会大难临头

It's not just the people who are the main one that are in trouble

与他有关的人都会或多或少的遭遇不测

People who have something to do with him are more or less unpredictable

有一些相信世上有木魅存在的人为了保护树和木魅

There are some people who believe that there are Wood Enchantment in the world to protect trees and Wood Enchantment

会给老树围上注连绳

will put a rope around the old tree

同时也起到提醒他人，保护他人的作用

At the same time, it can remind others and protect others
