In Chinese folklore, the hopping vampire that is a reanimated corpse draining life force is the jiangshi.
A jiangshi is an undead or reanimated corpse from Chinese legends. Traditional stories connect its animation with supernatural arts, improper burial, spirit possession, or the retention of the corpse’s po after the hun has departed. The jiangshi’s stiff body explains its characteristic hopping movement in modern portrayals.
Its energy-draining nature is usually described as absorbing qi, the vital energy of living beings, rather than drinking blood exactly like a European vampire. Some accounts also say an especially powerful or ancient jiangshi can run or even fly. Qing-dynasty ghost-story collections helped establish the creature in written literature.
The familiar image of a jiangshi wearing Qing official clothing and bearing a paper talisman on its forehead was greatly popularized by Hong Kong cinema, especially the 1980s Mr. Vampire film cycle. It is therefore commonly confused with Western vampires, zombies, or the Norse draugr, although those creatures come from different traditions.
