			Jiangshi, of course, have their roots in Chinese mythology, and have spread by osmosis to other parts of Southeast Asia. The characters for "jiāngshī" are read '''geung-si''' in Cantonese, '''cương thi''' in Vietnamese, '''kyonshī''' in Japanese, and '''gangsi''' in Korean. It is also known as '''phi dip chin''' in Thai, ''hantu pocong''' in Malay, and '''vampir cina''' in Indonesia. Older Western translations just call it the "Chinese Vampire".

			As we stated at the start of this article, there are a ''lot'' of different interpretations of the creature, but the basic concept is of a stiff-limbed undead corpse that kills people to feed on their qi (life force) and usually prefers to only be active at night, hiding in caves or coffins during the day.

			The earliest known source of the Jiangshi myth appears in the book ''Yuewei Caotang Biji'', published at the tail-end of the 1700s by Qing Dynasty scholar Ji Xiaolan. According to this book, a jiangshi is a corpse that has been raised from the dead by dark sorcery, steeping it in too much yang qi, possession by an evil spirit, the person's own ''po'' souls, or a restless soul created by improper death, suicide or just lingering mischief, or when an unburied corpse is struck by lightning or a black and/or pregnant cat leaps across the body. Of all these methods, deliberate raising by Taoist sorcery is usually the most prominent, and the mythical jiangshi is most frequently created by sorcerer-gravediggers to make it easier to transport the bodies of the dead back to their own villages to be buried proerly. Hence the iconic depiction of the jiangshi featuring a large paper scroll glued to their forehead; this scroll contains a binding spell that keeps the jiangshi docile and obedient.

			Repelling or slaying a jiangshi is, once again, a highly variable affair, with different regions and different sources mentioning different methods. Some of the most popular are using swords fashioned from coins (symbolic of the traditional monetary offerings used to pay for the upkeep of souls in the afterlife) or peach wood (regarded in many Chinese beliefs as able to disperse evil auras), repelling them with an eight-sided Feng Shui "ba-qua" mirror, and the use of sticky rice.

			Adding to the confusion, alongside overlap between the wide body of "hungry ghost" mythology, jiangshi movies were ''big'' in the Hong Kong movie industry during the 1980s and 1990s, which shamelessly crosspollinated the traditional jiangshi with elements of Western [[vampire]]s and even [[zombie]]s. These movies created a new mythos that imbued the jiangshi with more bizarre traits and abilities, such as being able to spread a zombie-like plague with their claws, using barbed tongues to suck blood, or levitating a few inches above the ground instead of hopping. As years have gone past, jiangshi have been continually molded and modified by anime, manga, movies and games, and the concept is now largely as nebulous as the concept of their Western counterpart.

			=[[All Flesh Must Be Eaten]]=
			Jiangshi appeared in the [[All Flesh Must Be Eaten]] [[splatbook]] "Atlas of the Walking Dead", which named them as the ''Gyonshee''. The same book also features the "Japanese Vampire", or ''Shuten-doji'' (which is actually the name of an [[oni]] in mythology, but never mind). This iteration of the jiangshi emphasizes the bestial, zombie-like interpretation of the creature.

	==[[Pathfinder]]==		=[[Pathfinder]]=
			[[Pathfinder]] actually beat [[Dungeons & Dragons]] to the punch in featuring jiangshi as their own distinct undead... well, sort of. Spelling it as ''Jiang-shi'', they are a [[Vampire]] sub-type, but at least they were more myth-accurate than their traditional D&D counterparts! In the meta-mythology of [[Golarion]], jiang-shi evolved from the ancient ur-vampires, the strigoi, when some chose to hibernate in places and found themselves trapped for centuries, even millennia, emerging from their long torpors mutated and driven half-mad by starvation, before passing their curse on to living beings.

			Like most [[vampire]] variants, the jiangshi debuted in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] via the [[Ravenloft]] setting... and was not actually very mythologically accurate at all.

			The original D&D jiangshi was the ''Oriental Vampire'', which was actually a weird mishmash of a conventional western vampire and a bakeneko; a [[hengeyokai\|spiritually awakened cat]] with a modus operandi similar to a [[vampire]] or [[succubus]]. This vampire looks largely like its living self, save a feral cast to its features, slightly luminescent skin, and that its nails grow into massive claws, which it tends to favor over weaponry. They can't turn into mist, but can turn invisible and walk through walls. Their gaze paralyses a victim with a mesmeric effect rather than charming them. They can summon insect swarms and great cats to their aid, and transform into tigers (unlike the regular vampire, which can turn into bats, rats and woles). They are repulsed by mirrors, holy symbols, garlands of rosemary & ivy, and the scent of incense of rosemary and myrrh. They lack the ability of the "western" vampire to climb walls like a spider, but can instead levitate at will, and retain their cousin's lack of a reflection or shadow and their ability to move in complete silence. Nonmagical weapons that strike these vampires do no damage and are destroyed. They must rest in at least a cubic foot of soil from their original burial place at night; if exposed to sunlight, or prevented from sleeping in this grave-soil for nine days in a row, they are destroyed. Staking them through the heart with bamboo renders them inert; killing them requires placing blessed rosemary in the vampire's mouth and then sewing its mouth and eyes shut with golden thread using a silver needle. These vampires are largely associated with the Japanese-based domain of Rokushima Taiyoo and the India-based domain of Sri Raji, in large part due to the setting's only China-based domain, I'Cath, being an uninhabited wasteland. Third edition brought this vampire back, renaming it the ''Chiang-shi''.

			[[Van Richten's Guide]] to the Ancient Dead (aka, the [[Mummy]] Mini-[[Monster Manual]] for Ravenloft) would, ironically, feature a picture of a Chinese-themed Ancient Dead that looks a ''lot'' like a jiangshi, and is featured here.

			A more mythologically accurate jiangshi, including actually being ''called'' "jiangshi", wouldn't enter D&D canon until 5th edition, via [[Van Richten's Guide]] to [[Ravenloft]].
