The Jiangshi (僵尸) is a Chinese “hopping vampire,” a reanimated corpse that absorbs qi (life force) instead of blood. Stiff from rigor mortis, it hops in Qing Dynasty robes. Emerging during the Qing era, it symbolizes fears of improper burials and unresolved death rituals. Taoist priests traditionally subdue them using charms and rituals. Popularized in Hong Kong films of the 1980s, Jiangshi blend horror and folklore.

僵尸是中国的“跳跃吸血鬼”，吸取生命力（气）而非血液。因尸僵只能穿着清朝官服蹦跳。僵尸起源于清朝，象征对葬礼不当和死亡未解的恐惧。道士用符咒和仪式制服它们。20世纪80年代的香港电影让僵尸广为流行，融合了恐怖与民俗。
