Wikipedia Jiang Shi (Traditional Chinese: 僵屍 or 殭屍; Simplified Chinese: 僵尸; pinyin: jiāngshī; literally "stiff corpse"), sometimes called Chinese vampires by Westerners, are reanimated corpses that hop around, killing living creatures to absorb life essence (qì) from their victims. jiāngshī is pronounced geungsi in Cantonese. They are said to be created when a person's soul (魄 pò) fails to leave the deceased's body. The influence of Western vampire stories brought the blood-sucking aspect to the Chinese myth in modern times. In fact, Dracula is translated to Chinese as "blood-sucking jiāngshī" where the thirst of blood is explicitly emphasized because it is not a traditional trait of a jiāngshī.
It came from the mythical folklore practice of "Traveling a Corpse over a Thousand Li" (千里行屍), where traveling companion or family members who could not afford wagons or have very little money would hire Tao priests to transport corpses of their friends/family members who died far away from home over long distances by teaching them to hop on their own feet back to their hometown for proper burial. Some people speculate that Jiang Shis were originally smugglers in disguise who wanted to scare off law enforcement officers.
Jiang Shis were a popular subject in Hong Kong movies during the 1980s; some movies even featured both Jiang Shis and "Western" zombies. In the movies, Jiang Shis can be put to sleep by putting on their foreheads a piece of yellow paper with a spell written on it (Chinese talisman or 符 pinyin fú). Generally in the movies the Jiang Shi are dressed in imperial Qing Dynasty clothes, their arms permanently outstretched due to rigor mortis. Like those depicted in Western movies, they tend to appear with an outrageously long tongue and long fingernails. They can be evaded by holding one's breath, as they track living creatures by detecting their breathing. Their visual depiction as horrific Qing Dynasty officials reflects a common stereotype among the Han Chinese of the foreign Manchu people, who founded the much-despised dynasty, as bloodthirsty creatures with little regard for humanity.
It is also conventional wisdom of feng shui in Chinese architecture that a threshold (Chinese: 門檻), a piece of wood approximately six inches high, be installed along the width of the door to prevent a Jiang Shi from entering the household.

______________________ Just promise to keep your heart broken.Fai Li's lover and somewhat administrative Second in the Broken Lotus Syndicate. Since Fai is often out of the 'house' on business, Rei is in charge of Tirasei's education and general affection. He is calm and even-tempered, and happens to adore one particular bouncing blue baby as much as he loves his 'father.'Art by Gant_YukiArt by [ P U P P E T ]Name: Shinoda Reihai (Rei)
Pronunciation: SHEE-noda RAY-high
Species: Human (Japanese)
Skin Tone: Pale to medium
Hair Color: Ash-brown
Eye Color: Dark purple
Distinguishing Marks: Reihai has six tattoos.
---Most importantly, a Chinese dragon in black, shaded with purple, that wraps around his right arm so that the head rests in the palm of his hand. It is half-status symbol, half family mark. The dragon has absinthe-green eyes.
Talents: Concert-trained violinist, trained in certain martial arts, highly educated with his Masters degree in Asian Government. Makes tea very well.
Mate: Fai Li
Attire: Asian-cut business suits; button-front shirts untucked with top buttons undone and sleeves rolled up over rough jeans; very rarely kimono. His hair is medium length, reaching several inches past his shoulders, and is always pinned up in a bit of a mess so that tendrils frame his face.
Personality: Reihai is calm, poised, logical, and organized. To his friends he is warm and comforting; he's the one who checks on everyone at night, settles arguments, breaks up fights, and makes sure people get medical treatment when they're being stubborn. His slightly maternal nature is a source of great amusement in the Lotus. He blushes relatively easily among his friends, though not in 'social' situations. He is happiest in small, comfortable environments with people he cares about- such as curled up with Fai and the babies having tea. Art (c) [ P U P P E T ]
