jiāngshī - 2024 ARCADIA - Buzzpoints App

Question

Original-language term required. Ji Yun’s The Notes of the Thatched Abode of Close Observations categorizes and explains the actions of these beings alongside several other supernatural creatures of Chinese folklore. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name these beings whose name is sometimes translated as “hopping vampire.” These undead Chinese beings have a talisman placed in front of their face to control them.

ANSWER: jiāngshī (“j’YONG-shur”)

[10e] Ji Yun explains the overabundance of qi of this type in a dead body as one of the causes of jiāngshī reanimating. This light concept opposes the dark concept of yin.

ANSWER: yang [or yang qi]

[10m] In addition to the jiāngshī, Ji Yun also discusses the Yeren (“YUH-run”), who is sometimes interpreted as a cross between a human and these animals. In another legend, one of these animals born from stone becomes a king by jumping through a waterfall.

ANSWER: monkeys [accept apes; accept orangutans; accept baboons]
