jiangshi
A Chinese ghost. Often called a "hopping vampire".
They drain people's life energy, hence the "vampire" denomination, although they are more similar in concept to Western zombies.
They usually have ofuda (strips of paper) stuck to their foreheads and are often seen wearing a rimmed round hat known as a qing guanmao.
Some common depictions are Qiqi, Bongun, Munak, Lei Lei and Miyako Yoshika.
