The jiangshi is the reanimated corpse of Chinese folklore, a rigid body driven by the residue of its own soul to attack the living and drain their vital energy. It was described in detail by Qing-dynasty writers and explained by the Dutch sinologist J. J. M. de Groot through the Chinese dread of delayed burial and exposed corpses. Hong Kong cinema of the 1980s turned it into the hopping, talisman-stuck figure known worldwide. Mindless, physically decayed and stopped only by ritual or force, it is East Asia's main native counterpart to the zombie.12

Kas to izraisa
Slikta nāve vai apbedījums
Qing writers explain it by the body's lower soul (po) staying behind after the higher soul (hun) has left, especially when burial is delayed or the death was improper.
Kā tu tāds kļūsti
A corpse left unburied, struck by lightning or jumped over by a cat may rise; so may a suicide or a body revived by sorcery.
Kā tas kustas
Lēkā
Modern depictions have it hop with arms outstretched; in older accounts it runs its victims down, and very old ones can fly.

Ko saka avoti

1

The name means 'stiff corpse'12

2

Folklore describes greenish-white skin, sometimes furred with mould, and anything from fresh rigor to advanced decay12

3

It kills with brute strength and absorbs its victims' qi; blood-drinking is a modern borrowing from Western vampires12

4

Ji Xiaolan distinguished the newly dead who revive from long-buried corpses that never decay12

5

The Qing official's robe and hat became standard through the Hong Kong film Mr. Vampire and its sequels12

6

The hop may derive from the Xiangxi trade of carrying corpses home upright on bamboo poles12
